@dansup @pixelfed simplification

@dansup @pixelfed I like the colorful versions more.

@dansup 2019 one is better

@dansup @pixelfed all logos go through a goth "phase"

[offbeatmammal@mastodon.social]

@dansup @pixelfed I like the 2019 one. It's clean, clear, and distinctive. The 2022 version looks like a generic corporate messaging app that doesn't want to offend anyone.

@dansup @pixelfed 2022 a bit depressing to me…
2019 using the colors as wings of an aperture with the P adapted accordingly? Maybe grayshades instead of colors?

[tombardout@mastodon.social]

@dansup @pixelfed I agree with the others, the 2019 is nicer, it better conveys what the app is about (I kind of read it like an aperture even though it's not quite that), maybe with more pastel colors it would look nicer though

@dansup @pixelfed The 2019 one is best.

And it's interesting, reading the other replies, that EVERYONE agrees the 2022 one is a backward step.

[dansup@mastodon.social]

@pixelfed The 2019 and 2022 logo are still used btw, and tbh, the 2022 logo never really became official as evidenced by the @pixelfed account which still uses the 2019 logo

I wanted to try to adopt the trendy black logo aesthetic that many brands have been doing but obviously that was wrong.

I will revert the app to use the color logo and the 2022 black logo is now deleted from the evolution.

Y'all won
