What is the name of the old font? I loved it. Would love to use it for future web design projects

I don’t mind the purple, if I’m being honest. I love purple as a color. It is way harder to read all the metadata with Dark Knight mode turned on, though. Maybe a thinner font would help? The ALL CAST & CREW words aren’t as bad, but the updated date/datasource text on the left-hand side are harder to read. As are usernames on comments. Maybe brighten the purple to match the playcount button? I don’t mind the purple for the progress bar under shows on the dashboard, and I actually like it a lot for the titles under the Upcoming Schedule section.
I don’t think I like the new logo as much, though. In fact, I’d say it’s entirely nondescript. I can see where you tried to keep it related to the old one with the white outline and three lines making up the checkmark, and it looks fine on the Check In button, but it works way better as some sort of secondary logo that enhances branding than as the primary logo which is supposed to lead branding. There are so many checklist or to-do apps that have similar-feeling logos. Knowing it’s related to the old one only matters if you know the old logo. Making this the primary is a pretty big miss for me.

I don’t know why, but I’m not seeing any of the changes, either on the IOS app, nor the web version when accessed through my phone browser??
I love the redesign!
Completely agree with this, just feels like a change for the sake of it. The colour red was a core part of Trakt’s identity and brand which really should have stayed (along with the old logo).

Super excited about getting this new look on Android 
Thank you for your work y’all, I’ll do my best to explain my criticism.
The color by itself is a nice shade, but it’s not good usability wise - it’s hard to read in both dark and light mode. Maybe it’s the contrast or font?
As of this moment, I’m having a hard time looking at my dashboard, it strains my eyes.
And the logo… Right now, if I may be blunt, it looks like a mix of the Instagram logo and every other to do list app.
As someone that’s been using the site since 2014-2015, It’s clear to me that it’s the watched button check mark - but from an outside view it looks… bland and generic.
I doubt a rollback will be made, and supporting two designs doesn’t sound efficient. If the change stays, I might have to seek out other options after years of usage out of unusability alone.

The icon to me looks much closer to Instagram than Twitch. It’s not really purple, more like dark pink. I have a bunch of Trakt tabs always open and it’s weird having so much of this color at the tab bar. I don’t think it will make a right impression if someone sees it, ngl 
Overall, all my thoughts have already been addressed: contrast is really bad, white and purple especially seem to be a poor match (aesthetically too imo) and there’s a lot of that combo around; letters are weirdly tall - I thought I was having a stroke for a sec; liked the previous less generic logo much better - immediately could understand what website this is.
I don’t think this was needed, you nailed it the first time

I couldn’t put my finger on it, but you’re totally right. This immediately felt chaotic, because before it was nicely color-coded.

This all gets a big nope from me, dawg—for every reason already mentioned dozens of times. And the logo change is the most egregious thing . . .

I’m on Firefox and the hovering on the logo does nothing for me.
Edit:
FML… i just realised something and it will piss me off until i die now…
That “design flaw” summarizes how the redesign went… you guys just didn’t bother checking how the website looked in dark mode or what?
I didn’t even knew there was a dark mode until the “purplocalipse”, i been using Dark Reader since ages and it seems that “autoscript” did a better job

Why is track not working on some apps/links?
Looks atrocious, any way to change it back to the classic style?

Please do not bring this horrible new update to the iOS app! I can barely tolerate it on web, but can get around some of it with css edits. Updating the app is permanent and unchangeable. I really hope you look at this feedback and give users the option to keep the old design. I’m not sure what the need was for an entire brand update anyways…
It’s already been stated before, but the new logo looks generic, like a to-do app, and blends in with the mass of other check mark icons that exist in the app world. It has a super similar color scheme to Instagram’s gradient colors too. The old logo was a known symbol and changing it is going to hurt the brand overall. It’s giving Twitter to X rebrand almost.
On web the button colors in light mode look way too neon and bright. Accessibility wise the font change is horrendous and a huge downgrade in readability. The functionality of the site is way worse now and I can’t imagine the hot mess it’s going to be on mobile considering it’s an even smaller screen.
Please read all the users’ feedback and see that the overwhelming majority are not in favor of this update. I hope many of these changes are rolled back or at least give us the ability to opt out of using the redesign.

First post on the forum just to say how much I HATE the new logo. As someone on twitter posted, it looks like you used the seriesguide logo and the colours, OMG the colours. They scream “cheap instagram copy” so much that it is painful to look at.
Don’t mind the colour on the website so much, though its contrast is considerably less making the website more difficult to use (which when it comes to a makeover is not a good thing!!

I realize a lot of time/energy/money has been sunk into this rebrand, meaning it’s likely not going to be reversed. However, the comparison to the Twitter/X rebrand is spot on. Short of changing the site name, the amount of brand identity being intentionally discarded is astonishing.
The logo change is really unfortunate for all the reasons others have already said. Hope you will reconsider.
