Yeah, the purple with dark knight mode enabled doesn’t meet WCAG2 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines). I don’t mind the color change, but please don’t forget about accessibility.
EDIT: Actually, it also doesn’t meet WCAG2 with dark knight mode disabled. I think lack of contrast is the reason it feels so weird.
Well I don’t like purple so the new visual is not really my thing. Also I think it looks a little weird in dark mode. Just my opinion though and I’m sure some will like it.
I would really love a colour option.
A generic purple checkmark as the new logo, really? I really want an option to switch to the old layout. But since supporting two different designs is a ton of work, I assume that is out of the question. Another redesign that actually does nothing better than the old one.
Even though I like the colors I agree the logo does resemble more a to-do list app.
Exactly, we want our old theme back. PLEASE!
I don’t see any reason why switching to purple was a bad idea. I find it interesting so many people complain about it, to be honest.
I don’t use the website much, always preferred the iOS app, but I checked it now just to see the new theme and I don’t see anything “bad” or “weird-looking” on it.
There’s a bit too much purple. Red and black looked better. Oh well, I guess I’ll have to get used to it
I personally do not mind the color change and like the look of the new logo!
I do feel that the new font is much harder to read and condensed then the old font though. This new font feels a little too bold and in your face compared to the previous one. Please consider giving us an option to change the font. Thank you!
Although the new style is nice, the purple is a lot harder to read in Dark Mode 
I’m very much ready for bed so imma have to keep this brief hahaha:
Unlike a lot of people, i’m very much for change in all aspects because changes to styles, branding, ui/ux etc excite me (on both a personal and profession level). But this rebrand? It could have been handled a lot better. I hate stepping on peoples toes, as i’m sure (or hope) there was a designer involved in this, but this is really sloppy work 
We appreciate all the comments and please keep them coming. Just like any major change, we’ll continue evolve the design and handle things like better accessibility over the coming weeks.
Oh hell nah. Red was cool, the T was cool, the font was cool. It had identity. Now we’re all having another ToDo app getting lost on the phone after using it for two days. Or what? The future’s looking bright? The only thing being bright is that horrible purple, it’s hurting my eyes!! My favourite platform is ruined Jackie Chan does not approve.
Please just don’t update the iOS app, the app is one of the best looking apps out there and the old logo is so much nicer.
I actually don’t hate the redesign, which is surprising to me, because I almost always hate redesigns. I’m not saying it’s better, but it’s not terrible. I could get used to it fairly easily.
I think going with purple is a mistake, though. Red feels inextricably linked to Trakt’s brand. Purple kind of makes it seem like you’re trying to copy Twitch. Perhaps the fact you both start with T is not helping in that regard. Twitch kind of has a monopoly on website purple.
I feel like that might be the crux of everyone’s feedback.
Personally, I’ve no strong feelings one way or the other. Yeah, the site looks a little different now, with different colours and font. Ok, so what? The checkmark does make it come off as a to-do app a bit, at best it makes no difference, at worst it’s confusing. As I don’t really use the apps, I’m not sure what those looked or felt like… but fwiw, visual identity ≠ user experience. Nice attempt there though. Changing one does not automatically translate to the other. Visuals definitely don’t have anything to do with how intuitive anything is to use, in any case (something could look flashy af and be a nightmare to use, or conversely, something could look plain and puritan af and be a breeze to use). As for clarity and ease of use: yeah, again, personally I’ve no issues with any of it, but then I’m fortunate enough not to have to rely on accessibility features yet, so I can only refer to others, who already pointed out potential problems.
All in all, I don’t mind the design itself - I just can’t wrap my head around why it was needed, and this post didn’t really help explain or justify it either. Exciting stuff are always coming down the pipeline, that’s standard PR hype.
I like the new styling, but I do also find the change from red to purple is a weird one.
These points are of bigger concern to me:
I freakin’ LOVE the purple!
I’m guessing branding is just not a corncern here?
Nuking both the logo and the color is not a good choice imo, this feels like the website was sold and the new owners are rebranding, i would expect a rename to ‘Checkt’ anyday now…
I agree on all points. I actually like the new font and the new purple, but just not in this context. The whole redesign feels a bit incoherent and the new font in all the different sizes contributes a lot in this feeling I believe. It works well for bigger titles, but not for the small text as you pointed out and make the white on black text harder to read (it’s hard to focus on the text in the navigation bar). Part of the text is also cut off in the up next section of the dashboard.
The logo is also a bit bland and, as for many others, my first thought went to a todo app and I’m not getting movies or tv shows at all from the new logo.
At least I can see track what I watch 
With the checkmark the logo looks now like yet another todo-app. Why! The previous „T“ was iconic, unique and cool. You can’t seriously replace it with a chexkmark!
