New Discord Logo Thoughts
4 years ago
Yesterday Discord changed their logo and just today a friend of mine shared a article that many are making this a bigger deal than it seems.
It’s another one of those simplified logo problems companies keep doing.
I think the new logo is fine(barely changed from looking like a pig nose as Discord says) but the new font... yeah, it’s a bit jarring to look at. Apparently Discord devs said the font wasn’t well centered with the logo. They changed it and well... now the font itself looks completely off in my opinion. I liked it before when it was all caps and “D”s were slashed. New simplified font looks awkward with the rest lowercase, especially the “i” looking squashed. Feels out of place in my opinion. But even then it’s not much to complain about though it’s understandable why many be upset. It’s one of those “If it’s not broken, don’t fix it situations”. So logo shouldn’t have been touched overall. Some logos have a lot of charm and gives personality. So when a logo gets changed to be more simple, it does tend to ruin charm of the company/franchise.
It’s not about being afraid of change btw. Just how it changed.
What do you guys think of this?

FA+

Or do stupid things like bring a weapon to get Pokémon cards
To be honest they are just over reacting
As I said it depends on how something changed and lotsa of companies are following the simplified trend. So many are getting annoyed by it.
I do agree though, how a company works is more important.
