What do you guys think of the new DA logo?
>that ugly neon green
>vertical icon
>icon looks like a Z or some kind of health company, and you can barely make a "DA" out of it at all
the whole fucking concept seems to be
>muh angles
No.1687
>it's a Z
I don't get it, at all
And let's not forget how terribly the colors clash with the rest of the website.
dA really is doomed to slowly fade into obscurity, they continue to push the really good artist away and fostering the mlp diaperfags.

>>1687How could DA be saved, assuming letting it die is not an option?
>stop giving daily deviations to shit art>in fact, stop giving them completely if there's nothing good to give it to>stop featuring/showing journals period.You'd also need to separate autistic diaperfurry comics and sonic sprite edits from serious art, but I don't know the best approach for that.

It's an unremarkable shout-out to its weeaboo userbase, lampshading the great temporal lengths to accomplish progress in the site's postmodern functionalist objectives while perpetually discoursing about how compelling the new paradigm shall be without making any sort of tangible development toward its lodestar within the amorphous domain of the internet's hyperreality. DeviantArt is strikingly altering the course of history, and by consequence art itself, as it escalates dissemination of its Marxist values to promote the weakest art and design, which it exemplifies in its new logo. We find ourselves in the midst of the implosion of the old, and a new shock of the new, as DeviantArt declares culture war with traditional Western values and ideals of beauty.

It wouldn't be that bad if they just had the white text and left off the green logo. It looks like they were trying to be clever and make it look like the edge of the T in "Deviant" and the beginning of the A in "Art." But it just looks like =/=.

I think this is how we're supposed to interpret it?? when it's much smaller it just reads as an X to me.
No.1695
>>1694Can't even see the D.
I know some companies like to mimic math symbols for their logos but thus is not the way to do it. Especial when the symbol is literally "unequal."
No.1696
>>1688To be honest I don't really see a way of it being saved. Their whole business model continues to be giving shit features to free users and obscuring all the cool features to the premium users. Even something as simple as enabling google analytics is a premium feature. Think about that for a moment, that's not a fuckign dA feature, that's a google feature and shouldn't have anything to do with dA. I don't even know if advertising third party tools as a premium feature is legal unless they asked google for their okay.

this shitty logo makes me so irrationally angry
if you watched the video all their other concept sketches looked way better
how high were they when they picked this inequal sign/Z/currency symbol?
No.1699
this is what its supposed to be btw.

I am largely indifferent. I think it's shit at representing anything but it's more pleasant to look at than the old logo. Probably made by the same idiots that made the new DC comics logo.
