This is no joke, that’s literally the generic todo icon from Niagara Launcher (if your app is not included yet).

Not entirely; there’s still a “T” visible in the Trakt icon (checkmark).
However, I fully agree with everyone complaining about this icon resembling todo apps.

I wasn’t sure at first, but I’m warming to the Purple …

I like this, was a little confused when it turned partly grey. Thought my iPad had got a fit(burned background) 
The purple really hurts my eyes when I look at it (I use dark mode). Also, red is my favorite color so I personally really liked the red that was used. So please at least give us an option to switch back to the old version. It was a lot better on my eyes.

I’m liking the purple but I really wish they’d revert to the old logo with just a new coloring scheme. We might get used to it with time, but it’s really sad how void of personality it is.

@videntis I honestly don’t see it. Where is this “T”??
Yes, that yellow part is exactly what I meant.
OMG. They did it. They destroyed Trakt. My favorite website/app for all the movies and shows. Instead of trying to battle competitors like Letterboxd, including much wanted features from Feature Request and make most of features from website available also in App. Or going more into social interaction between users… they change the ONLY thing that was TOP NOTCH. Reasonable…
Logo was perfect, this is literally trash.
It’s sad to see how unmature the team around Trakt actually is. Just imagine any stock company destroyed the most valuable thing they have - brand. Like let’s change Netflix into different logo (completely different), with different colour and then laughs how people are scared of new things. It’s ridiculous.
It doesn’t make sense and from graphic standpoint it’s not the fresh design you should want to seek, more like a cheap Instagram rip-off. Just look at all the great graphic ideas on Dribbble. This is seriously not a good choice.
Purple is a nice color… but everyone is kinda sick of it right now. Just look at all the live-service games from Concord, Suicide Squad, Fortnite even Call of Duty, Snap and currently Veilguard… everyone tries something to do with Purple, and it’s pretty criticised.
But the amount of puple I see on a homepage is just terrible. Like seriously I cannot look at the page. It’s terrible smog.
And what is wrong with the font?! Was this a contest for finding the most annyoing font for page?!
Like what is the reason for this “redesign” when everything stay the same and just Logo, Color and Font is changed. Be bold and do a proper full redesign, maybe rather discuss it with paying community first, or stay with what works and focus on new features and stuff people actually wants… people who are paying you…

I’d love for them to do a user-wide poll on these changes. Based on the comments here it seems obvious the consensus is that the changes are unwelcome, but I think we all know people are wayyy more likely to speak up when they are upset about something rather than when they like something or are indifferent to it, so a quick “how do you feel about the recent logo and color scheme changes” poll “Love It - Hate it - Indifferent” would be interesting data.

Ok, yeah, zoomed in like that I can kinda see the T. But on the website, the logo top left is much too small to see the individual white lines and I can only see a check mark.
Regardless of whether there is a T or no, the colours still remind me way too much of instagram

NOOOOOO! That would be sensory overload if that was to happen…

When I saw purple all over the place, I was like “is this for Halloween or something” lol. I really don’t like this change. The old logo and the colour red suited Trakt better. Why would you change your branding after all this time anyway?

I’ve been with Trakt for a while now. It has changed and improved a lot since I started using it, and some of these changes were easier to get used to than others. This last update though, I’m sure I’ll get used to the font change, but I can’t say I’m a fan of the purple, it makes it really hard (for me) to read and notice things at a glance. Maybe in the future, not too far away, implement a way for us to change the theme? Thank you!

Much has been said already, but as a very loyal user of your great service since a very long time (I actually helped out with the transition from v1 to v2 of the website back in the days…), I’ll add my 2 cents too.
First of all, let me say I really appreciate how you always take care of your product, constantly evolving it, adding new cool features and fixing bugs. 
Nevertheless, this last “visual update” was unfortunately unnecessary, to say the least. From my point of view, none of the changes proposed was really needed nor adding value to the product. I’m not at all a fan of the new logo and font, previous ones were much better, but I think eventually I can live with them. On the other hand, I deeply hate the new purple color! 
Having it here and there on the “Add to history” buttons was OK, but now having it EVERYWHERE is absolutely too much! It’s painful to watch, it’s confusing and it gives a tacky feeling to the website. I find it especially annoying on the “Progress” page, with all the colored bars in the middle. Black and red was just so more elegant and perfect to me. My lord, why changing it? 
Also, not to forget, people (like me) choosing dark theme usually prefer more subtle and less “on your face” colors schemes, in order to have a more “easy on the eyes” interface. Instead, the new purple color combined with dark theme is absolutely hurting retina so much! 
Going purple is for sure a bold choice, but as all bold choices could be very divisive (as this long thread proves). Working in the multimedia industry, I know how much designers could be stubborn about their “new brilliant ideas” (no offense here 
), so I doubt there will ever be a total rollback to the previous design, no matter how much we’ll ask for it.
So, my suggestion to not upset a relevant part of your user base is to soon offer the option to chose between (at least) two color themes (“classic” in red and “modern” in purple). That would probably make everyone happy and show once again how much you care about your product and users. Thank you!

Looking at those images one directly beneath the other, it’s instantly clear how much more legible the “old” monospaced font is. Distinct letters, clear spacing, all caps. In comparison, the new font is a mess. There’s no clear spacing, the letters flow into one another and there is so much less contrast between the grey background and the white.
The enclosed T in the old logo is clear with two separate colours whereas in the new logo, the gradient doesn’t go anywhere and the letter T is only visible when you zoom in and even then it’s uneven, unbalanced.

Yes, when i opened it and saw the purple i thought to myself “im going to have to find another way to track my shows” trakt has been the best method ive found but i simply cant use it with the purple 1. Because i cant read it anymore and 2. Because i despise the color purple. I really hate to see a good app turn into one i cant use anymore
