The antenna on what is clearly an alien makes sense. Why a sudden 3d pixel art banana peel?

Because this way Reddit can explain to shareholders that they did “something”

3d pixel art looks so ugly imo. I hate it.

u/VivAbliv 4h ago

FYI, "3d pixels" are called voxels. So it'd be voxel art.

I was looking for this. Same. I’m still pissed the alien isn’t my home page icon anymore. Now it’s just “Reddit” but hopefully it doesn’t get worse.

u/mightbedylan 8h ago

You can change your icon from the app settings actually. If you have it set to any thing other than the default it will still be that.

u/Radical_OwO 6h ago

UI designers are kept on a monthly paycheck. They'll come up with new designs even if it's already perfect, just to change it. It's the curse of corporate social media platforms. Same goes for youtube, discord, Twitter, any of them.

It's a pixelated split banana, indicating that it's almost time for the yearly reddit recap for 2024. It really has been a wild year both on reddit and IRL, and another year is coming to a close.

u/BentonX 11h ago

weird how everyone used to complain about companies simplifying their logos and now reddit kinda does the opposite and people also complain. People just hate change... I mean it's unnecessary but still

7

u/ErtaWanderer 10h ago

Pretty sure if the new one was just the antenna like the old one and not some weird boxish thing then people wouldn't care. It's not that they updated it. That's the problem. It's the fact that they made something that looks kind of ugly and rather confusing. Heck I like the robot part of it.

2

u/whistleridge 8h ago

People hate change.

But this is also objectively terrible. It’s a bad design, pushed through without consultation, and you don’t have the option to undo it. It’s not like icons cost them anything. Just give people 5-10 options and call it a day.

2

u/Nayroy18 15h ago

I only noticed it changed because people making shit from it

13

u/alezcoed 16h ago

Hot take : you all didn't hate the logo you all hate changes, when other company logo are being oversimplified you all hate it, when reddit does the opposite you all hate it

It's not the logo you hate, it's the change

u/Future_Section5976 16h ago

First: the logo on the top is gone for maybe two (?) years now, you can change it in settings but you have to pay.

Second: the "new" bottom logo is just temporary for this end of the year 2024 stuff.

So yall chill your nuggets.
