Looks perfectly suited to the new reddit.
They’re competing with x for the edgy crowd ad dollars. Good riddance to both
This unironically
The new logo looks like a shitty AI render lol, perfect representation for how sanitized a corpo it has become.
Nah it looks worse.
5 minutes with bing and I got it to make a nice looking one.
I genuinely just thought that's what it was. I had not heard of them rebranding...
A nice bot-made logo to celebrate their army of stupid bots ruining everything.
I am a complete amateur, and I do better jobs
I don't know how to use 3D design software at all and I do better jobs.
Blowjobs don't count
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.
Much better
HAHA so cute! Ngl if they really implement this, it'll be dope XD
It's the community logo lol
Bonney drew that one, too.
Spez: make it the colour of my soul.
I laughed and spit tea on my cat. Kitty was upset until she realized catnip was in the tea. Everyone wins. Well done.
It's ugly so it's a good fit for reddit.
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.
Iirc PNG supports just fully transparent and opaque pixels too, so Webp maybe
Looks like a failed Dark Reader-converted image but it's actually intentional this time.
ctrl+sift+A doesn't fix it
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.
What the fuck is that? Kill it with fire! If it finds a hole it'll either build a nest in it or try to fuck it.
It's a disgusting and heinous atrocity, eerily reminiscent of knuckle-dragging dirt person Steve Huffman
AAAAAAAH! WTF IS THAT?! KILL IT!
Redditent Evil: Welcome to Updoot City
Light from beneath always looks scary. Just think about people who tell scary storys with a flashlight.
It's the Stay-Puft marshmallow man!
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that!
Thirded, that was my immediate thought.
It will be amusing when their eventual IPO does a crash and burn and then Spez tries to blame the users.
"I'm not dead. I'm still relevant! Come AMA! This isn't a request. You will be subservient to the almighty Spez. Reddit will devour your very soul and grow stronger! All will bow to Reddit! Look upon me, and despair!"
I do despair when I look upon you.
Did they open AwfulTasteButWorseExecution or is it just from Awful Everything?? That's ugly AF!
It looks like the result of a GENAI image prompt for "I'm in danger"
It is evil
Satanically possessed? Def.
Hey now, don't go hatin' on my buddy Satan. If Reddit were possessed, it'd be way cooler.
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.
Weird choice gong with the under-the-chin lighting with malevolent red eyes. It's got that horror movie about a toy vibe, like *coming this October: You Snus, you lose."
It’s midnight and no narwhal will save your bacon
The jackdaws are cawing. Grab your poop knives and cower from: The Initial Public Offering. ~This picture has not yet been rated by the Motion Picture Association of America~
More like creepy.
It looks like a shady dealer in an orange hoodie.
Now that you’ve said that not only can I not unsee it but now I almost see Kenny from South Park
Yeah I get that too now you've said it!
It's going to tell us scary stories.
yo wtf
this looks like a fledgling startup logo from 2007
I saw this and One-Winged Angel started playing in my head.
U SLASH SPEZ bumbumbumbumbumbumbumbum U SLASH SPEZ
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
I thought it had a beard when squinted at it
Even with the dark theme off it still looks like corporate garbage, especially the font.
It may look harmless but spend enough time with it and it'll destroy your brain... and nuts.
Old reddit is gonna die any day now
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.
Looks fixed now.
You either die the hero, or live long enough to become the villian’s diabolical logo.
Its nothing if not consistent/congruent with everything else they've been doing
I actually really like the new branding. it looks less flat and corporate than the old look
Use old.reddit and RES. No need for branding at all.
Ironic
It's just you.. Looking at reddit.. Here

pure evil. Idk if its supposed to look like this but it does.
