AAAAAAAH! WTF IS THAT?! KILL IT!
Even with the dark theme off it still looks like corporate garbage, especially the font.
You serious, Clark?
If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn’t be more surprised than I am now.
pure evil. Idk if its supposed to look like this but it does.maybe they accidentally left some transparency in place of the white when they first deployed, thus the back background seeped in
That thing still looks like something that could devour my sleep paralysis demon.
I do not disagree with this comment
The completely red/orange eyes with no pupils and overly “happy” expression is what makes it so bad. It’s a very good representation of reddit in a way. It’s like the image version of the tiktok voice, deeply disturbing.
When I said I was sick of corporate minimalist designs, I did not mean I wanted them combined with late 00s psuedo-3d logos
Makes sense. I use a forced dark mode setting for all sites so every so often something comes out looking strange.
Or maybe im just seeing their true nature!
^ Oh, that forced dark mode is most definitely it. It probably takes only the pure whites from images and turns them black, while retaining the grays and other colors
::: spoiler I imagine whoever downvoted this didn’t get the joke. :::
Yeah I was about to say, this looks like they forgot about dark themes at first.
Still, it’s a weird logo. It does look distinctively horror-y, and the shading is also weird. Stubble?
LMAO That looks like dogshit 🤣
I really like the speech bubble. Makes it very clear that they want to become just another social platform where people, not anonymous accounts, interact with each other.
they don’t want anonymous. if you use a private browser with no fingerprinting or VPN, you can’t even create an account
It’s not you. Pretty poor choice to use inverted colors, but keep the red eyes.
Although, I don’t see this on the front page. I just see the basic white version. Where is this at?
I use an automatic forced dark mode enabler, because i hate bright sites with a passion, and it is the assumed culprit for why the logo looks so evil for me.
Okay, fair enough. I use Dark Reader myself.
Probably an unintentional mistake rather than a concious design decision. I think they used a transparent background instead of white, so it accidentally looks evil in night mode. To test, switch your phone out of night mode and see if it schanges the face to white along with the background.
Is it a translucent PNG? Because GIF doesn’t support alpha channels. Also why would they want their logo to shift color? Brand colors are super important
Ha! No, not anymore, not in the current design environment.
Literally every site and app is doing this exact same shit, in almost exactly the same way. They’re tripping over themselves to strip away any identity or interesting design elements, and turn into another carbon copy of every other app’s floaty, bubbly, needlessly vacant and boringly white/black design.

Iirc PNG supports just fully transparent and opaque pixels too, so Webp maybe
Probably the coolest it’s ever been. Too bad they suck now
I literally have not touched Reddit since whenever this whole thing went down, I want to say June or something like that. I have seriously not even once open that damn website since they killed Joey for Reddit. And it’s been all for the better because Lemmy is a lot better although lacking in content it doesn’t keep me glued to my phone for no damn reason at all hours of the day mostly just at night. Plus I see a lot more intelligent conversation on this place than I ever did on Reddit.
Joey was my app too, rip
Joey was my favourite app too. Eternity for Lemmy is the closest replacement I’ve found.
Joey rocked
It really was the best
Same same but different… But still same.
Looks fixed now.
Redditent Evil: Welcome to Updoot City
I actually really like the new branding. it looks less flat and corporate than the old look
Ironic
Use old.reddit and RES. No need for branding at all.
Satanically possessed? Def.
Hey now, don’t go hatin’ on my buddy Satan. If Reddit were possessed, it’d be way cooler.
More like creepy.
Reddit? Never heard of it. Did I order coffee from there once?
If you did, someone probably spit in it.
spit with some coffee in it
Something something Narwhal bacon

Just looks like they suck at icon design and don’t understand the difference between rasters and vectors.
Yes those are words
Looks like we caught ol Vector sitting there rasterbating again.
I saw this and One-Winged Angel started playing in my head.
