    The details such as ears, whiskers, nose are way too small. They’re hardly recognisable on a mobile device, app icon wise.

    I love the app but the new icon / logo not so much.

      100% agree. I really enjoy the app and Kuro has done amazing work, but this logo misses the mark tbh. I’m definitely no graphics designer (just someone who knows enough to make shitty memes), but the alignment is all over the place with this logo.

      As a graphic designer I do agree. If the makers of the Connect app wish I’d be more than willing to help them with a new logo. It’s not a bad concept per se, just needs some better execution

      I only noticed the mouse when I saw the logo in this thread. On my home screen it’s barely noticeable. I do think there’s something to the idea of hiding it in there somehow, but it could use some refinement.

      I personally dislike the ears and whiskers a lot. Not sure why exactly, I just really hate it. To the point that it’s no longer on my home screen. I may even look for other apps. It’s bizarre that it bothers me this much, but it really does.

        I think its because from a distance the ears and whiskers just look like glitched pixels or something. When i first saw it i thought something was up with my screen for a hot sec

    I think it looks a bit weird, I don’t really care about adding a lemming to every lemmy app icon but I think something like this would be a bit more interesting.

      That looks great. I’ll try making a rough draft of a digital version tomorrow.

      Edit: Might be Aug 17th instead of today Aug 16th, as I am doing some stuff, as I was quite busy today with registering blendOS as a project on the libera.chat IRC and some personal things like getting a job, and I have a doctor appointment later today. Sorry that this update is a bit offtopic from the sublemmy this comment is on.

      Edit 2: Edited Edit 1 a bit to provide more clarity.

      This. The new logo looks horrible!

      The idea is nice, but the execution is awful. E.g. why is the center of the C so skewed?

      I hope it’s not some situation where the Devs girlfriend created it, and he doesn’t want to change it because of that and we will be really stuck with this… ruining the app a bit.

        Haha, I have no one to blame but myself unfortunately! I did make a change to the inner circle of the C making it less skewed based on all the feedback.

    The new update RULES. The UI is just souch more polished and I love the blue implementation for NSFW (in lieu of bright red call-out). Also you implemented the tap to u hide and tap again to rehide! THAT WAS MY FAVORITE FEATURE some other apps had!

    Connect has beeny fave since I found it and it just keeps getting better, thanks so much.

    Congrats! I really appreciate how responsive and attentive you are with the community, pumping out fixes and feature updates basically on the fly. I don’t mean to simp, but I just want you to know it doesn’t go unnoticed, even if some of us are consistently posting about something. 😅

    The old one felt like a logo for a high school online assignment submission website

      I’ll take a look at notifications! I know the current implementation is pretty simple.

        Thank you so much. Just so you know, your app is the only app beside Voyager that got the access to notifications right. I love how when I click on a notification, it takes me directly to that comment. No other app does that, and I really appreciate it.

    I think it could do without the mouse, but other than that it looks much much better

    When I moved over during the Great Migration, Connect pretty quickly emerged as the best app for me, and honestly it still is.

    Congrats and happy birthday! I left Reddit during the blackout and your app made the transition way easier, thank you so much for this. I like the concept behind the new logo and I’m happy to see it evolving in future updates, cheers!

    I’m liking the new logo change and it’s impressive how feature rich the app is after only two months. It’s my favorite lemmy app.
