In my bookmarks bar, the logo looks like a dirty smudge.
Adobe Fonts: font-family: proxima nova semibold; font-weight: 400; line-height: 1.1;
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
So just ignore all the feedback and carry on regardless then?
Please listen to your users. Adding options for users to set their own preferences is key.
Forcing unliked changes that users have no control over is a great way to alienate users.
Allowing users to choose their own accent colour and icons is the better way to go about this.
Don’t become X.
Trakt has been one of the best user interfaces I’ve used in the last 10 years. Please keep it that way.
If they really should be going forward with this (which I hope not, regarding the amount of feedback there is) there will always be this weird feeling like they don’t listen - something I would consider when the next VIP payment is due. I really love purple (especially now with fall and Agatha All Along haha), but the new logo is like every generic tasks app ever combined, and the font somehow looks cool and confusing at the same time.
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
I like the old logo way better.
The new brand color is too bright and flashy, doesn’t look well on the progress page, especially in dark knight mode.
Font’s weird, I kept the page in 90% scaling and now it’s bad, and 100% scaling is still too big for me.
Overall hard to see that as improvement and I will definitely change things back with CSS.
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.
Looks absolutely amazing! I like the new change
