I was just on Discord a few minutes ago, and the new Steemit Logo was mentioned... So I came back here and refreshed my browser... and this.. (the one at the top left cornet of your browser).
For real!!! Is this the best you can do??! What a disappointment to go from this..
To this....
It's a septic green speech bubble (has Steemit all of a sudden changed to a messaging or chat platform?). I don't get it. If it's to get a certain degree of separation from Steem, and giving Steemit its own identity, I think it's a step to far. Steemit is built around Steem. Steem it what powers Steemit, and so the Steem logo should still feature in some way, surely? Am I missing the pint completely here? And GREEN!!!!! As someone who is slightly colorblind, I find it a strain to look at certain shades of green. I can barely see the dividers.
What about the work that has gone into building the Steemit Brand, and various Steemit Communities?
The work that has gone into building the original Steemit brand, with whole communities on Steemit adding their flavors and individuality, like these:
To me this new logo look more like a chat platform, or some kind of chemical company logo. It's a "NO!" from me.

This is post No.8 of my commitment to the @teamaustralia Charity Drive. All SBD rewards from my posts for the next 2 posts (up to post No.10) will be donated to the @teamaustralia Charity.
Donations to @teamaustralia are also welcome, just add "Charity" to the memo field so it gets allocated correctly.
To see what we are working on, go here and show your support.
AAAARGH!!! The links are GREEN too!!!!!!!
This sucks!!
Yeah it's fucking terrible. This was the big logo that was kept secret? Lol Speech bubble and sort of S shape..I get it but it sucks. It clashes with the Steemit logo that is still hanging around by my posts that I'm 100% powering up, those colors don't match. I was mid post when I went to load a picture I noticed the green and thought I hit the wrong button haha

From a branding perspective this is a big shift, and a complete departure from the old logo. There is zero similarity. It's like a complete reboot.

After I mentioned in the chat you should make a comment on the contrast issues and then I see that you have, that'll learn me for not reading to the end first XD
After seeing everything else turning green I'm starting to think maybe whoever did the redesign is an Ingress player on the Enlightened side XD
And possibly getting a little bit carried away with box shadows.

Change is good. Not saying I like the new logo, but seeing change means things are going on behind the scenes. Maybe like your post, they rushed a bit and forgot to edit it properly. A few mistakes here and there make the public opinion go down ;). Night mode is a much needed feature

Not all change is good, but yes, it does mean things are going on in the background. Hopefully good things in this case!!
I'm going to have to throw this keyboard away, with the amount of typos I'm making, and missing lately ;)

I agree. Perhaps both logos will be available for use still. I see on some other posts that the original logo has not completely disappeared. Anyways, just glad they are doing something to upgrade the platform

I definitely like the change. Because at least for me, this feels like steemit is setting itself apart, yet again, by switching the color scheme. When did all social media think it was cool to be blue? And this is my favorite color of blue we're talking about. Maybe green's for the fact that we're all systems go.

We're all different, and some will like it. I don't, it kind of hurts to look at it. There's also probably some "scientific marketing research" gone into the choice of colour. I hear you on the "everything is blue." The complete change of logo, along with the colour is what I don't like.. Perhaps I will warm to it... who knows.
Thanks for stopping by :)

I don't mind the logo change but the seafoam green should be changed back to steemit blue in my opinion.

Yeah, I think the combination of logo and colour change at the same time makes it worse. The complete departure from the Steem logo seems a bit too far to me.

Ed doesn't like the green or the logo. Ed does like the night mode though.
Us vetrans should still rock the old logo.

It does look like a chat bubble so maybe there thinking chat bubble, bubble in the sea,= sea foam green lol I don't know but from all the reading about the upcoming fork they wanted a few things to be there focus: communities I think there will be private messages in your feed or post fields soon, and mining but its mining for the steem to only create new accounts no more auto steem deligated to new accounts. The dust votes are disappearing lastly the mobile steem app is it zap? I don't know but their really trying to grow steemit larger. I am ok with that, I do hope with the hard fork that the existing members will profit from all this as well.It is a shame though for everyone that has personalized t shirts and car plates, and all the teams with the older steemit logo.

Hey @bmj,
I came across this article
https://steemit.com/steemit/@intelliguy/steemit-inc-brand-and-logo-are-intellectual-property-that-are-protected-by-law-do-not-use-them
Perhaps a safe idea to steer clear of using the new logo. Currently there seems to be mixed emotions out there. Some stating that using it for marketing purposes could be an issue, others saying to rather not use it at all... idk

Yeah, I saw that. I will remove them if asked to by the bosses (if they upvote me 100% first ;) ), but I'm not using it for commercial use, and I'm not selling branded T-shits or modifying it in any way. Fair Use applies here.

Lol, yeah, definitely a 100% upvote first :D
Sure, I agree with you on the fair use :):) Peeps just seem a little shaken up so just being cautious.

The colour doesn't work for me, especially against the bright background. Night mode looks just as bad to me, so I wouldn't use it anyway.
