Often, I associate a logo change with a change in what the brand wants. The older Reddit logo is associated with a time Reddit was good, and the new one is associated with Spez’s greed. Same with the Android logo, and many others.
Just looking at the thumbnail of this post reveals to me that reddit has takgen a bad step. An icon which scales well and is highly recognizable changed to something that looks like a badly generated figure which is way less recognizable. The added colors will make it look worse on different colored backgrounds as well. Not great.
I mean, idk. In my opinion both new icons are better. The old Reddit icon looks flat, empty and unprofessional next to new one to my eyes. Not that I really care since Reddit is dead to me.
The antenna thing almost touching the edge on the old one makes it kinda look off-centre, as if it was haphazardly thrown together by someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing.
The new one definitely looks better. To bad the platform itself is still shit.
