I can’t find anyone talking about it (or maybe searching here isn’t my forte yet).
What do you think about it?
The lettering doesn’t scale very well. I assume it worked better for Mastodon World being “MW.” With this being “LW” the same stylisation looks fairly awkward, especially when scaled down.
I prefer the old one, 2000s WEB nostalgia.
i hate it… : (
the old one looked really good; it had character and skeuomorphism and stood out in the instance list
the new one looks… fine, i guess. it’s there. i can’t really say anything about it, apart from it’s a bit dark and too busy, but it has nothing going for it
I think the colors are a main problem, especially the lack of contrast dark blue + black.
Maybe some of it could be overlayed on a simplified globe?
to be honest, it’s the simplification that i dislike. it’s so fucking corporate and soulless, it looks like somebody outsourced it to the cheapest bidder
i also think it is starting to look dated, as even corporations are moving back to designs with depth (look at the new edge logo and fluent design in general, or gnome circle apps)
It is better now I think.
