Is it just me or does the new reddit logo look evil

: peeks over fence :

Looks perfectly suited to the new reddit.

The new logo looks like a shitty AI render lol, perfect representation for how sanitized a corpo it has become.

You serious, Clark?

Much better

Reddit? Never heard of it. Did I order coffee from there once?

Just looks like they suck at icon design and don't understand the difference between rasters and vectors.

Spez: make it the colour of my soul.

It's ugly so it's a good fit for reddit.

I really like the speech bubble. Makes it very clear that they want to become just another social platform where people, not anonymous accounts, interact with each other.

Probably an unintentional mistake rather than a concious design decision. I think they used a transparent background instead of white, so it accidentally looks evil in night mode. To test, switch your phone out of night mode and see if it schanges the face to white along with the background.

Looks like a failed Dark Reader-converted image but it's actually intentional this time.

idk what this fascination with using 3d renders as part of the icon is, terrible idea and looks sloppy imo

What the fuck is that? Kill it with fire! If it finds a hole it'll either build a nest in it or try to fuck it.

Redditent Evil: Welcome to Updoot City

AAAAAAAH! WTF IS THAT?! KILL IT!

Light from beneath always looks scary. Just think about people who tell scary storys with a flashlight.

It's the Stay-Puft marshmallow man!

It will be amusing when their eventual IPO does a crash and burn and then Spez tries to blame the users.

"I'm not dead. I'm still relevant! Come AMA! This isn't a request. You will be subservient to the almighty Spez. Reddit will devour your very soul and grow stronger! All will bow to Reddit! Look upon me, and despair!"

Did they open AwfulTasteButWorseExecution or is it just from Awful Everything?? That's ugly AF!

It looks like the result of a GENAI image prompt for "I'm in danger"

It is evil

Satanically possessed? Def.

It's not you. Pretty poor choice to use inverted colors, but keep the red eyes.

Although, I don't see this on the front page. I just see the basic white version. Where is this at?

More like creepy.

Weird choice gong with the under-the-chin lighting with malevolent red eyes. It's got that horror movie about a toy vibe, like *coming this October: You Snus, you lose."

yo wtf

It looks like a shady dealer in an orange hoodie.

It's going to tell us scary stories.

this looks like a fledgling startup logo from 2007

I thought it had a beard when squinted at it

Even with the dark theme off it still looks like corporate garbage, especially the font.

I saw this and One-Winged Angel started playing in my head.

It may look harmless but spend enough time with it and it'll destroy your brain... and nuts.

Looks fixed now.

You either die the hero, or live long enough to become the villian’s diabolical logo.

Old reddit is gonna die any day now

Probably the coolest it's ever been. Too bad they suck now

Its nothing if not consistent/congruent with everything else they've been doing

I actually really like the new branding. it looks less flat and corporate than the old look

Why do people complain about oversimplified logos, then when a logo becomes more detailed there's more complaining

It's just you.. Looking at reddit.. Here
