    Looks perfectly suited to the new reddit.

      They’re competing with x for the edgy crowd ad dollars. Good riddance to both

    The new logo looks like a shitty AI render lol, perfect representation for how sanitized a corpo it has become.

        maybe they accidentally left some transparency in place of the white when they first deployed, thus the back background seeped in

            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.

          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

          When I said I was sick of corporate minimalist designs, I did not mean I wanted them combined with late 00s psuedo-3d logos

          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?

    Just looks like they suck at icon design and don’t understand the difference between rasters and vectors.

    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

    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.

    Looks like a failed Dark Reader-converted image but it’s actually intentional this time.

    idk what this fascination with using 3d renders as part of the icon is, terrible idea and looks sloppy imo

      Logos are supposed to be easily recognized and easily scalable. A 3D rendered logo could be the former but is unlikely to be the latter.
