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.

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.
I thought it looked a bit weird when it was more symmetrical but this is another version and I’ll let you judge. (
In my opinion, that’s way better dude.
Haha, this is why I’m not a designer!
this is better
Much better, but for the purpose of visibility I think the ears and nose should probably also be cutouts, not edges.
Often things need to be off center, and not perfect circles because of how humans perceive things… But here it’s is really flawed, and doesn’t look good or professional at all.
Damn, I knew the mouse face looked odd.
If it were centered it would be offcenter
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
Hi, I’ll send you a message!
Sounds good!
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
Honestly, the old app logo was better. This doesn’t look professional.
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 did 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.
There is a mouse in it. And yeah, I liked the old logo better too.
I was kind of surprised by the logo after the update, as it looks very similar to the Covid warn app from Germany: https://www.coronawarn.app/de/
I think we are ok. From what I could find, lemmings are not a carrier of COVID-19, thank goodness. (“Lemmings with COVID” are not to be mistaken for “COVID lemmings”. I think that was some anti-vax slang.)
The absolute worst they can host is the bubonic plague, so we are fine. There is nothing quite like a morning bleed out your eyeballs to perk you up!
Well, at least antibiotics can cure the plague, unlike COVID. 🤷♀️
The German Covid app logo looks much better than the Canadian one, which is just the Maple leaf being attacked by grey triangles.
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 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!
The old one felt like a logo for a high school online assignment submission website
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.
Like the app, logo isn’t great. Old one was better but understand the desire to change it.
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. 😅
Congratulations! You have done an amazing job on this app. I was running it alongside Sync just to compare and I kept gravitating to Connect. It’s actually better imo. So I removed Sync and use Connect only. Great job! And thank you 🙂🙏
also like the old one better but I guess the execution is just not perfect yet. Hopefully you get someone to improve it a little. Anyway you are doin great work @kuro_neko, I bought u a big coffee
It looks like you used the logo to squash a bug

The old one felt too much like a mobile game logo
