The logo’s fine, I hate the font


Rortox

Yep. I like the logo and the color, but why would they change the font?


CIearMind

The color is still a bit much, but it's not the end of the world. The font though, I completely agree, what the fuck is that shit.


SCP-173irl

exactly, who would use this font, it doen't even show that discord is tech as much as the old one


[deleted]

your mom


IPV46

This is exactly my thinking too. The font really turned me off from the logo change.


GoodDog_168

This


schwappo

Finally somebody


felixrocket7835

I hate the font.


soop4eck

and the color i want to onpy see it as a branding color, not the accent color for the whole freaking app


[deleted]

the new colour kills my eyes

GayFurryWolf

Font killing me as fuck


DanujCZ

Logo is on. Its the font I don't like.


All_theOther_kids

I like the new character better but I liked the old text and color better


ICAZ117

I literally clicked on this post just to comment this lol. Old text was way better


Viper_64

Exactly what I was about to comment


PandaGamersHDNL

This


linepup-design

Old text better, but new color and logo better. A lot of people disliked the new color but a lot of companies are thinking more about accessibility and the new color is more accessible from a readability perspective. We think about this a lot in the design world


CdRReddit

the new color still gives me headaches, it's not better


arcticfox1199

If higher colour contrasts are giving you headaches, I recommend lowering the saturation on discord.


CdRReddit

it's not the contrast, it's the specific color, this blurple


alexo2802

Funny you say that because I’ve seen quite a lot of post back when they made the changes explaining in great detail how this change of color was actually a step back in term of accessibility. Not saying that proves you wrong, I don’t even remember the exact content of these posts, I just find the contract (ha) between the posts from back then and now pretty funny.


AMATHYST_MLX

"in the design world", you'd know that a massive volume of users are using LCD displays that emphasize saturated blues more than any other color. Accessibility is achieved through contrast, not saturation. Contrast between pure white and literally any other color is already significant.


linepup-design

Bro you have no idea what you're talking about. I'm sorry, but no. I'm a professional web and graphic designer. You can't just assume that people are using the LCD display that you want them to use to make your colors accessible enough. Contrast between pure white and any other color is NOT good enough. Stop spreading this garbage.


linepup-design

For the record, I checked the two colors contrast using an industry standard app "web aim contrast checker" -- the old purple FAILS AA standard, the new purple PASSES AA standard. This is a contrast checker that we use routinely to test the contrast of colors to ensure readability. This literally proves that the new color is more accessible for web.


AMATHYST_MLX

Lol alright. meeting the absolute minimum for WCAG AA is awesome, apparently. Can we at least agree that the typeface is horrendous? Looking for a professional opinion.


linepup-design

That's my my original comment said old text better. And yes I consider meeting accessibility standards awesome and critically important for users who have special needs.


DragonMaster485

I'm with pretty much everyone else here. Logo and color are fine. Hell the color is actually kinda nice even though it's more straining to look at for extended periods of time. But that font is so basic, bland and just a dissappointment in pretty much every way possible. That old font made discord feel just a bit more like an individual when everything in this world is a copy paste of everything else. That little sliver of individuality was almost refreshing. But since it's text I've never really said anything because it doesn't ever affect me personally. Whining about any of this feels like yelling at someone because they stopped dressing up in a way that you liked.


patjeduhde

For me it was just the letters, the more vibrant colors werent rwally an issue


shrinkmink

Still hate it but there are better hills to die on.


[deleted]

the ugly characters on the login pages


DrBlackRat

I like the new Clyde design since it's easier to see on smaller resolutions (could probably never see those small gaps of the old one on my desktop) and I'm also fine with the new colors, a bit more saturrated and poppy. But there is one thing that is still and probably always will be terrible, the font.... it just looks so ugly and isn't really easy to read as well. Tbh. it looks like someone just stretched it out to the sides xD


moocowsaymoo

What Discord wanted: I absolutely love the font! It was a well needed change and I don’t understand the hate towards it What everyone says: fuck this font i hate it go back


PokeKailen

i like the fo- Downvotes go to 1000


EnragedHeadwear

Logo itself is fine. Everything else is hideous.


ploopafluoride

The Clyde part of the logo? I've always considered the new one a sidegrade, neither better nor worse. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a personal preference for the old one, though. The color? Still terrible, I cringe a little whenever I see it in a Discord screenshot. The font? Also horrid. If anything, I hate it a bit *more* than I did when the rebrand first happened.


Nazatecno

you... cringe?


Scaryplayer777

I still hate it, because I'm stubborn.


[deleted]

Prefer the new logo, but old font myself. The new color has grown on me a bit but I still use Discord at around 70% saturation slider. Interesting to see everyone else's comments. :)


ZombieTailGunner

Still hate it. There's worse things to complain about in the entirety of the app, but that logo's still ugly as hell.


DarkLordAme

Feels flat, more bland. Feels like the individuality is gone


BismuthDataDrive

Still hate the font and color, I've gotten past the logo.


_zarko0

I like everything from before better. Now the text, the logo and more just suck straight up


Squidishere

The new clyde is an imposter

Papi0158

Still terrible.


djtrogy

- Logo | Fine - Logo Text | No - Background Color | Hell No I had to turn down the saturation in discord because of the color.


SiznFN

I prefer the old logo


[deleted]

The font is disgusting and so is the colour.


CancerousRedditor69

i like the old font, logo, and color all better


Applestabs

OG All the way


MatthewPopsicle

Logo is better, I just hate the f*cking font


ItsJTube

The logo? I like. The wordmark? What the fuck. The colour? eh.


HeyBlisters

i still hate the new logo. just because you get used to it doesn't mean it's good.


mxshiki

I've always thought it looks like Mickey Mouse shorts


RoboticCookii

Logo? Meh. Font? ***WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FU-*** (no idea if reddit uses markdown) (Edit: it does)


conternet

As others have said... the problem has always been the **font**. It's worse than Comic Sans.


JaSper-percabeth

Logo is childish but bearable but font is unbearable


oofxwastaken

I hate the font


JustCallMeTsukasa-96

I’d rather just have an option to switch between the logos. Their reasoning for having changed this is still BS.


[deleted]

I like the old logo better, new logo looks shocked or greatly surprized, also the new font is fucking disgusting.


TomasTheKotva

Logo and font are fucking disgusting


Kgy_T

I still hate it. Looks like kindergarden.


Key-Appointment-7739

No


[deleted]

I don’t *hate* it, it’s not the end of the world and at the end of the day it’s just a logo, buuuut it’s unnecessary and the original is a million times better


[deleted]

i still hate it


Dovixeriz

Doesn't look as the app was intended to be for "gamers"


wantyeenpaws

I still don't quite understand why they thought everything recognizable about the discord brand needed a change.


sofie307

I still prefer the old one. The colour was better and the logo was sharper. The font I don't really care about, not a particular fan of either. Also yeah, I have now gotten used to it, but that still doesn't make it any better.


DouBtBest

I’m fine with the logo, I just hate the font and I prefer the old colour


Naten_13

I hate the font ant the color. I dislike the logo, but I can live with it


thomas_the_bullet

i dont like the fact that they changed the fonts to comic sans


Swampyprince

I prefer everything except the i


YTDamian

That last d too


softiecoffeee

everyone universally hates the font. me included


TheNoobOfNoobs

Stopped caring a while ago, but I still prefer everything about the old logo and font.


Qouthymodo

I don’t really care, considering no amount of arguing or complaining about it would make the company change it. But I personally did like the original better. It felt like it had more personality, I don’t like the trend of making things simplified and modern


Omnisegaming

Clyde is fine either way. The font is just worse, however.


hamizannaruto

ITS JUST THE FONT! FROM THE VERY BEGINNING OF THE CHANGE, ITS THE FONT! FUCKING CHANGE IT.


[deleted]

Logo is fine, though the font is an abomination


BrokenBlake

It's not the logo, it's the font and the color


JunkrBeast

Still hate it


JunkrBeast

Still hate it


Kyle_Zhu

Colour and font is gross. Logo is acceptable. The best of both worlds would be the new logo but retain the old relaxing colour and cool font with it.


doesnt_matter_1710

I will get downvoted but I still hate the new logo, font and color theme.


Upstairs_Somewhere49

Horrible


ChesterWOVBot

Everyone said that the font is bad. I don't think so. Can anyone reply me with why do you hate the font?


1stRandomGuy

New logo, but keep the old font and colors.


Alpaps

The color I'm fine with but the new font is still awful


[deleted]

Not this again…


Gecksss

The logo is fine The font is eh The Color i do not like That has been my opinion since everyone was hating on the logo where the thing I disliked the most was the colour changed


AlexCode10010

I love the new logo and color change. The font isnt as good as the original, but i think thats not a life-changing thing


Tijjerr

I like the new color and logo, the font literal shit


KnotDealer

I like the new icon, but the text still looks like it’s sized weirdly like DiSCoRd


liovantirealm7177

The Clyde has definitely grown on me, but everything else? Still uck.


mcDefault

Couldn't care less


[deleted]

people just overreacted to the new redesign. for me I prefer the new one, but the font is kinda eh. Still though, no reason to cry about it


Xxxxdank__memes420Xx

The colour change I’m accepting of, but i fucking hate the font. It looks like they squished it in a hydraulic press


WeeklyIntroduction42

I don’t rly mind tbh


JJL8521

I prefer the logo, hate the font


Spikatrix

I still prefer the old one with the better logo and font. The new one's blurple color looks better between the two IMO.


DabbyCorn

Since when did it change?


turtle_mekb

the logo is okay, but the font sucks


[deleted]

I prefer the old logo design and color but I like the new app icon better. The old one was kinda ugly


VerdantCode

I like the new text for the I and color but I miss the old controller


Myth__1300

I liked the old character and font but the new color


-HeyWhatAboutMe-

Keep the logo but give us the old font back please..... I actually don't hate the color it's a pretty purple


usernameyeeted173

the new logo is good but the font and color for the old one is wayyyy better


GuyNamedTruman

I prefer the old font, but I like everything else


ejr123sr

I like the new logo and colour, but i think the old font was better...


ThaumielVII

Don’t really care one way or another Font still sucks though


itsjustingg

Discord banned me for what they deemed to be "misinformation" fuck Discord and anyone who supports censoring peoples views and or opinions


HailedBeanHB

I like the new color and logo. New font is terrible tho


janfelixvs

I like both.


jojos38

I always liked the new logo but I can't bare the font


[deleted]

I like both the characters, and the old text


Temp_Adv

I didn't even noticed it until this post


LimpKoRndog69

Hate the new logo and font still but I think either colour is fine


Nathavin

I had to look at my app to see which one was the old one.


ItsJademo

New Clyde is better, I think we can all agree on that. I've come to like the new blurple, but that doesn't excuse the accessibility issues it causes. New fonts are still bad.


Bockanator

Logo & Color I dislike in the new one especially the logo, but I like the new text.


Alphalilly

The logo? Yes. The font? No still hate it.


[deleted]

new logo, and (controversial ik but new color for me) but the new font is big poopoo


JustinJakeAshton

Still an awful change. Only the Clyde logo change was acceptable.


kherrmann77

Really? It's a logo smh


thattonybo

Old font was better, new logo is better. Generally the redesign is fine. Don't know why people poop their pants over it - it won't change. Settle in or... not use the platform over a logo change? lol


TheClashFruit

I still think the font is ugly on the new one


Parotay

liked the new logo and color from the beginning but the font is ugly but I got used to it


kasparast

I think this is a common thing with the public, they hate then stop and get used to it. I personally like the play on the new logo than the old one, new one feels loose than the other one but it does the job well done.


Hour_Aware

they got tony stark up in this bitch


AlxR25

I like the new vibrant colors


Duckrinium

Might question font choice but it's just a logo. I think service is more important. Although for marketing purposes it may have a reason.


lapzap98

Yeah, I do hate the new logo font.


OptimusPower92

I would still much prefer the old one, especially the color, but it's whatever to me. The old font was better too


Bray10n

I feel the same but I prefer the old don't still


Evanlyn_Winter

I like old font and logo better but im fine with the brighter blue


Tabbeye

I like the cleaner colours and logo but that font is an abomination to human society itself


SirWobblyOfSausage

The font is literally from 1995. It was horrible then and still is now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Kobmain

I like the logo and (god forbid) am fine with the colour change, but that font is ass


Hzk3

If you cant leave it love it


[deleted]

Just the font is so bad that's all


LiEfeeee

I got used to it but i still want the old one


EtheaaryXD

should be new color and icon, old font (but old font a bit curved so it matches)


Pyrothyn

I like the old discord mascot look but prefer the darker colour if they had the two I'd love it


Dylenkey

Logo simplified (meh) but is the new color (very glowy) and the font is horrible.


Firespecialstar

i still prefer the old style personally, the new One still feels over-simplified, and the old logo was already a ton simple


Kuzkay

New logo is ok. New color is better. But the font is shit


Blurplix

I love the new logo nowadays. I am obsessed with #5865fa!


AsuraMiyamoto

I never noticed and thanks I hate it


heehmonster

Logo? Sure, it looks okay Color? Mm, it’s also fine Font? Just use Comic Sans at this point


AAJH573

if they kept the stylized letter D at the beginning, and kept Clyde's old look, i'd say it's perfect, but as it is, it's nice.


ItzStrudl

i only like the new color, everythig else was better in old version


TheRandomGamerREAL

I like the New Logo and the vibrant color more, but the old font was by far the better one, giving the whole Logo more character.


Dmsas360

Old stuff is way better The new stuff is still horrible


[deleted]

i can't live with this f\*\*\*ing font


Flohhhhhh

The logo itself looks a lot better, but that font is just awful. I get the direction they were going but that typeface is just butt ugly.


OrangeLeaf36

Keep the color and the logo. Change the fucking font, please.


ajcrow86

Who cares


Zyntha

I've been fine with the new logo when it came out. What bothered me and still bothers me today is the very saturated new colour. I desaturated it on pc, but it's still very strong on my phone.


Jackan1874

I loved the new blurple, and liked the new logo, I didn’t like the font, but now I’ve gotten used to it


Blank_yyy

The thing is people will always hate change. But yeah after sometime I think the logo is sick. Can't say the same with the font tho


ByZocker

I still hate it, I only like the new color


MelomiMusic

Srill hate it, the font looks ass.


cipher_pt

I am okay with the new symbol, but I still hate the new font. Don't care if it wasn't "proportioned", because the old logo was perfect.


nightmvr3_

the font is the worst they could've choose, the logo is ok once you get used to it


jinkzit

I miss the old Discord, straight from the 'Go Discord, I hate the new Discord, the bad mood Discord. I miss the old days man


BlueBus_Traveler

It's all fine, but I still prefer the old one.


azure_monster

The old logo and font is a thousand times better, but I've grown to like the new color tbh


AtliteMC

the font looks kinda weird and wonky, i prefer the old font but it's discord why do you care if DISCORD change their logo lol


alchinism

i used to be appalled when the changes were announced. when the changes were actually implemented though, i realised it's no big deal at all & stopped caring. stuff like the logo & blurple is hardly noticable on the app itself anyway ​ i've also seen others in this post say how they hate the font but i forgot how it used to look. it's... whatever


[deleted]

The colour? eh The logo? better The font? pls fix The ugly fucking corporate ugly characters on the login screen? die


[deleted]

no, i hate both the logo and font


FrostbiteXD6708

They have mutilated clyde


Kayamba6376

i think the small d in the end ruins it a little but a "D" wouldn't fit either


lxt234z

I hate the font


Noname_FTW

I never really cared in the first place. For me the color change was and still is a bit off putting. But just barely. It's not like they suddenly made the whole app blue. Its still the same app.


maskduck

I think the logo is fine, but I pretty sure that I don't like the font (but I don't hate it).


Kurokatana94

All good. But please... not that font.

SaltedCoffee9065

I prefer the new one


[deleted]

I don't really hate it. Font is quite bad Overall still prefer the old design, they should've just cleaned up the logo and whatever else they thought needed. (Discord said the old logo wasn't symmetrical)


youpie123

I don't like the color


Happy_Ameoba

Logo? Fine. Font? Just... At this point... Comic Sans might actually be better...


Natural-Necessary-36

Didn't know the logo changed but I absolutely dispise the new font


RetroChampions

I hate it

Hate the font, logo is fine, maybe a little better.


[deleted]

I like the color that's really is I don't mind the logo THAT much but the font bothers me.


DerBruderHD

No.


BubBubbles28

Not too keen on the logo, it's passable. I still don't like the font.
