The details such as ears, whiskers, nose are way too small. They’re hardly recognisable on a mobile device, app icon wise.
I love the app but the new icon / logo not so much.
100% agree. I really enjoy the app and Kuro has done amazing work, but this logo misses the mark tbh. I’m definitely no graphics designer (just someone who knows enough to make shitty memes), but the alignment is all over the place with this logo.
I thought it looked a bit weird when it was more symmetrical but this is another version and I’ll let you judge. (
As a graphic designer I do agree. If the makers of the Connect app wish I’d be more than willing to help them with a new logo. It’s not a bad concept per se, just needs some better execution
I personally dislike the ears and whiskers a lot. Not sure why exactly, I just really hate it. To the point that it’s no longer on my home screen. I may even look for other apps. It’s bizarre that it bothers me this much, but it really does.
I think it looks a bit weird, I don’t really care about adding a lemming to every lemmy app icon but I think something like this would be a bit more interesting.
That looks great. I’ll try making a rough draft of a digital version tomorrow.
Edit: Might be Aug 17th instead of today Aug 16th, as I am doing some stuff, as I was quite busy today with registering blendOS as a project on the libera.chat IRC and some personal things like getting a job, and I have a doctor appointment later today. Sorry that this update is a bit offtopic from the sublemmy this comment is on.
Edit 2: Edited Edit 1 a bit to provide more clarity.
I was kind of surprised by the logo after the update, as it looks very similar to the Covid warn app from Germany: https://www.coronawarn.app/de/
I think we are ok. From what I could find, lemmings are not a carrier of COVID-19, thank goodness. (“Lemmings with COVID” are not to be mistaken for “COVID lemmings”. I think that was some anti-vax slang.)
The absolute worst they can host is the bubonic plague, so we are fine. There is nothing quite like a morning bleed out your eyeballs to perk you up!
The German Covid app logo looks much better than the Canadian one, which is just the Maple leaf being attacked by grey triangles.
Has it really only been two months? It feels like longer.
I agree feels longer. 2 months and 136 releases! (although most of those releases are minor changes).
Honestly, the old app logo was better. This doesn’t look professional.
This. The new logo looks horrible!
The idea is nice, but the execution is awful. E.g. why is the center of the C so skewed?
I hope it’s not some situation where the Devs girlfriend created it, and he doesn’t want to change it because of that and we will be really stuck with this… ruining the app a bit.
