Yes, PLEASE don’t change the logo on the iOS app! It would look like a ToDo app instead of Trakt. And of course color is everything when you’re tapping icons on your smartphone; we need the Red. (You may want to look at how Drafts (getdrafts.com) handles their iOS icons. They let people pick from many colors in Settings, as some like to change them for Fall or Christmas!)
Somehow the new logo doesn’t look like a T. I get the ‘checking off’ (‘ticking’ for British members) concept but it no longer resembles a T.
Just looking at the logo so far. I love it. These comments made me flash back to like 10 years ago when you made the trakt 2.0 layout. And everyone missed the yellow and blue!
People will just news some time getting used to the new look and feel
I slept on it and this morning opened it on 4k screen.
This doesn’t work at all. 2 minutes in and I feel that my eyes need to work harder. Contrast is just not there. It dark mode it’s event worse.
Red is Trakt identity. Please bring it back.
I love it, the purple is awesome and looks absolutely fantastic in dark mode. The logo stands out, and the new animations on click are awesome. Fantastic graphic design. Do not change it, ot if a lot of people complaiing make options to change colors.
I like the new color, I personally find it more “relaxing” than your classic red.
But not the new logo; It’s the identity of the service, you are called Trakt, where is the T for Trakt?
The old logo perfectly identified the service without needing the name, you would see it (e.g. in Infuse or in the many apps that use your data) and immediately recognize it, the new logo without the name didn’t represent the service, it’s just a checkmark like so many other apps/services have.
It looks like the rebrand of Twitter, where it went from an iconic little bird that everyone recognized, to a letter that by itself is just a letter that doesn’t identify anything and so many others use
I understand that people don’t like the new color. I love it and the font I get used too it. I do think indeed that the Old Trakt logo was better. Maybe purplefy that one? But it now indeed look like a To Do app. I hope we ever get a theme system for Trakt, multiple themes and the user can choose it, maybe even an accent color? So that it is CSS only?
I like the old. The new logo feels off for some reason.
I also feel it’s like the good task app logo or any other task logo. The previous Trakt logo stood out and I recognized it. Now I’m just confused. And I 100% will not update my iPhone app to avoid having this new logo at all costs.
Like others said the new icon makes Trakt feel like a to-do App to me, so about chores instead of fun. I think that’s the wrong message…
Which font are you using in the logo?
Does the (lower case) “k” of that font really look like a(n uppercase) “K”? Or did you use a Small Caps “K” there? (I think it looks ugly; a regular lower case “k”, as in the title of this topic, looks much better to me).
What worries me most though is this:
This new logo is just the beginning, folks. We’ve got some super exciting stuff coming down the pipeline that we can’t wait to show you. Stay tuned!
First the price increase, then the rebranding, so what’s next? An IPO or acquisition?
