Oof, I hope they didn’t pay their designers too much for that amorphous blob logo.
It really doesn’t look good. It’s too basic to be recognizable and too weird to be interesting. I had to wonder if this is a teardrop or a bean at first, turns out it’s neither. The backdrops they have for it look almost AI generated too. Not sure what they were thinking with this one.
The platform is literally filled with amazing artists, and that blob is the logo they go with.
They should have never changed their logo at all. The first one was the best:
deleted by creator
I think it’s a pitch for a new IEM. Or a stomach.
That new logo is… yeesh.
I can see how creators who are solely on Patreon will benefit from the additional features, but I’m curious about how widely they’ll be adopted by those who post on multiple platforms. If you have a YouTube channel and use Patreon for members-only content, for example, using the Patreon chat feature would exclude the non-member portion of your community from those conversations. While this is a good alternative for those who specifically want member-only chat areas, I don’t see it replacing tools like Discord any time soon.
Also, having the member profiles on by default definitely made me pause when I got the email a few weeks ago. I know some people will enjoy that feature, but I personally went in and immediately turned it off.
It’s a skull
Can we get a “the sopranos” look how they massacred my boy?
I welcome the resurrection of 3D logos, flat logos look nice but start to bore me. This blob, however, is just weird and not really unique in the sense that I would mentally link it to the platform.
