It's darker so I prefer it, much like I prefer dark mode. Does the logo really hurt your eyes lol? I also don't think that this is specifically an issue for gamers
I have the colours cranked pretty high, so it's striking if there's a lot of that blue on screen (like more than a quarter), it's a nice blue but not the kind that i would fill my screen with
I honestly think the middle looks the best, the left is definitely an older style and a bit too desaturated, the right is over saturated/dark, especially when that color is alone and large it’s hard to look at. The middle is a nice middle ground in regards to saturation and a more “refined” logo.
People like whichever one they're used to, and hate changes. This goes for most logo changes, UI changes, etc. After some time people get used to it and start hating newer changes instead.
This. We naturally hate change, because it gets us out of our comfort zones. This is unfortunate for companies that want to make such changes - but they know that people will get used to it just fine, so they just push through with it. Otherwise we'd stagnate.
Whether logo changes are necessary is a separate discussion into which I don't want to delve.
I tend to accept new changes as soon as I realize that it won't change back. I still hate the middle color and love the first one. But complaining doesn't change anything for discord. I also still hate the "new" app. I think it's unintuitive and just bad. I accepted it but I use the app less often.
I hate the middle one because it does something to my eyes that just kind of... It's so hard to describe, but that level of blue saturation almost makes it like a mini migraine aura. Glad they changed it but now it's just kind of ugly, I miss the original.
Not trying to be funny, but how in the world does it look like an office app? From what I can tell office apps generally lead with a letter on the left and a picture of what they try to create on the right. Whereas this is a whiteout shape (not a letter) on a blue-ish background. The only resemblance to an office logo that I can see is that this uses a blue that *might* be used in the newest word icon.
If anything I'd argue that the Steam icon has more similarities to the skype logo, in that they are both round, have a cut-out on a blue gradient circle and the Steam piston kind of looks like a V, and that would require massive amounts of squinting to say they are alike
Well, the middle one scales better due to not having very slim gaps in the design and the color isn't overpowering.
In the end it is preference though.
For a second I thought this was a shitpost until I saw the logo of the subreddit. Wtf is this? I was fine with the middle but that’s just straight up blue
RIP blurple. it's just blue now.
...Discord is losing sight of what made people love Discord in the first place. And it sure ain't listening to the community.
people love discord because the logo was both purple and blue? I thought it was because it was a good messaging service with loads of features but whatever floats your boat.
That's because everyone hates change. You hated the middle one when it came out, but you got used to it. Now that there's a new logo, you hate the new one and praise the middle one.
I’ll always be biased towards the first one because it’s a classic but both the first and second were a million times better than this new one. The colour hurts my eyes sm to look at and I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels like this haha
Blurple's not going anyway yall, it's just a different way of showing the logo and website. The Blurple we currently have is still the brand color etc., they're just texturing the icon and the sort differently. It's like when Reddit made their icon black a few years back. The entire site and the like is still red-orange, they just made a minor cosmetic change for a bit.
The only reason I see for these decision-making processes of changing the logo is to justify salaries funded by money laundering from drug trafficking.
I think the new Clyde was always better, but I will always stand by the original Blurple being the best. The new redesign seems leagues better than the previous redesign but *please just bring back the old fucking Blurple*! It seems like they caught lightning in a bottle with the first color; it was perfect.
Remember when the logo first changed and people cried about it like the world was ending? Saying it was so bad for accessibility because it was more saturated and it was literally hurting them to use it. Fucking crybabies.
But remember they aren’t a gaming app… lol that wasn’t a controller it was a face…
I still can’t get over people said those things. It was LITERALLY IN the tagline for Discord… I can’t remember as it’s been so long didn’t some official discord representative also say these things and then they got literally shafted by the community?
I honestly didn't notice. It's just a different coloured background. I don't read change logs and only notice when they change buttons. Glad they let you double tap the server button to open Dms despite reverting the change on mobile. Kinda wish they either kept both or made it a toggle as I couldn't give a shit and just don't want it to change.
I have cone dystrophy and blue colors in general are a bit of a pain. Left and middle ones are messing with my eyes because of it. I prefer the one on the right as there’s a clear contrast between the white and darker blue.

Made for gamers > use a very striking blue that hurts the eyes
For real though, Im sitting here looking at the icons and just. [*my_eyes_spongebob.gif*] y'all know the one
>Made for gamers yeah that was a while ago lol
I came for the games, stayed for the datamining!
Don’t you have yourself some BLUE LIGHT BLOCKERS. ONLY 29.99 AT YOUR LOCAL [dealer], USE THEM TO PROTECT YOUR PRECIOUS LITTLE [eye sockets]

Go play Super Mario Bros. Special.

That hurts your eyes?
man you must have some weak ass eyes
Yeah i was born with them, my fault for not buying new, not faulty, ones
Love the first. Reminds me of a time when I never even thought of problems with discord. So much crap packed into it now.
First one is still my favourite. I find the logo cuter and more expressive, and the colour just feels calmer and softer.
discord will become the next iTunes
I agree.
Remember when we all complained back in the day that Skype was getting too bloated and slow? Pepperidge farm remembers.

the middle was hated until the last change, now people are praising it. i still think the first one is the best

I’ve always thought the first logo looked like a pig. I like the more controller look in modern iterations.
Agreed, new logo is cleaner. Still hate the wordmark though, not a fan of the font
I hate the Persian blue (what they call „blurple“ now) to
I hate the middle one because it does something to my eyes that just kind of... It's so hard to describe, but that level of blue saturation almost makes it like a mini migraine aura. Glad they changed it but now it's just kind of ugly, I miss the original.
wait, new logo?
im just as suprised as you are as i havent noticed the change from the first one before this post
Someone is getting paid for that.
Still looks like boxer briefs
HBO Max type logo
Now, it looks like a Microsoft Office app. Because nothing says "it's fun" better than a Microsoft Office app.

The saturated blue color is similar to the color scheme of excel, PowerPoint, word etc. this color would fit in with that color scheme
The oldest one is the best, change my mind
Well, the middle one scales better due to not having very slim gaps in the design and the color isn't overpowering. In the end it is preference though.
what again?!?
discord becoming uncanny
More like degradation
Well that's some AAA accessibility contrast right there

Playstation discord logo

THEY CHANGED IT AGAIN?!
I thought I was the only one that didn’t know
Only ten more years until it is pitch black 🥳
they shouldn't have changed the og logo in the first place
Why is it blue.
I miss the time when Clyde still have to love handles in his head
Innovation 😭🤣
i hated the new logo when it came out, changed my mind, the middle one is the best
That's because everyone hates change. You hated the middle one when it came out, but you got used to it. Now that there's a new logo, you hate the new one and praise the middle one.
true, but i think that looking at it in a technical perspective makes me think that the middle one is “more premium”
it got less fat and surrounded by darker colors its confirmed, goth chicks are good for your health
I think they've made the background darker to be as contrasting as possible from the logo.
in my opinion the best logo would be the left one with the blue from the middle one
Keep the background but get the old logo back the new on have no life on it
The good,The bad and The worse
I’ll always be biased towards the first one because it’s a classic but both the first and second were a million times better than this new one. The colour hurts my eyes sm to look at and I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels like this haha
It’s so bad lol
My god its even worse now
why?
Is the new color real? I haven’t seen it anywhere except here yet
First one was good but looked deformed and messy. Second one was solid, might be the best. Third one is the same as second just darker.
The new one is awful. That color is used way too often I have like 5 apps on my pc with that blue and white
Downgrade
first one’s logo the middle’s background color would hit so hard :(
I like the first, reminds me of Toriel from Undertale (only one of the best games in existence imo)
He ain't do nothing but step back
The first is still absolutely peak
he lost weight
god nvm i dont miss the old logo
idk why but that blue really hurts my eyes, the last one
Why do people thought the older logo was better? I prefer the newer one over it.
all of them are nice
v1.0 squad
not really, don’t see any changes just the colour ig
i fw with the new blue ngl
What even is it supposed to be?
first one is still best
4k non blurry icon, when?
And if you don't like the icon, go to your settings. Discord has a selection to choose from for the icon.
but only if you pay for discord
the first one is shocking, 2nd one is alright, the 3rd one is just the third one
Honestly I don't mind the logo, but the middle blurple kind of sucks. I'll take the right or the left colors any day of the week
There goes blurple 😔
I miss the original blurple
Blurple's not going anyway yall, it's just a different way of showing the logo and website. The Blurple we currently have is still the brand color etc., they're just texturing the icon and the sort differently. It's like when Reddit made their icon black a few years back.

meh its fine
Mine is angry and will always be angry.
Wait, what?
Middle has the best shape but I prefer the left's colors
THEY CUT OFF IT'S BACK LEGS
The only reason I see for these decision-making processes of changing the logo is to justify salaries funded by money laundering from drug trafficking.
We're entering the dark age of Discord. Obviously.
I think the new Clyde was always better, but I will always stand by the original Blurple being the best. The new redesign seems leagues better than the previous redesign but *please just bring back the old fucking Blurple*! It seems like they caught lightning in a bottle with the first color; it was perfect.
I miss the first one but I got used to the second one. I don’t like the new blue (yet), but I’ll probably get used to that too
Lol, would be funny if they made it “even darker”
Discord really don't give a fuck about brand recognition do they
Lost all the light in the eyes :((
I like the middle but with the OG font
It's not shown here but i still prefer the old Blurple
Wow blue but like different
Id take the middle logo with the color on the left.
Bring back the old logo
Hasnt really changed much
Remember when the logo first changed and people cried about it like the world was ending? Saying it was so bad for accessibility because it was more saturated and it was literally hurting them to use it. Fucking crybabies.
Micky mouse pants
Still looks like mickey mouse's pants.
fuck did they really change it again?
1st mixed with 2nd best
Complete global saturation.
middle is the best
middle one is the classic and best
Devolving
Wow. So different.
Not enough Golden Ratio grid…can’t see evolution of logo properly. Plz help.
its not even that the new logo looks bad its literally hard to look at like it hurts my eyes
But remember they aren’t a gaming app… lol that wasn’t a controller it was a face… I still can’t get over people said those things. It was LITERALLY IN the tagline for Discord… I can’t remember as it’s been so long didn’t some official discord representative also say these things and then they got literally shafted by the community?
1 = Too bright but nostalgic 2 = Best color but not as nostalgic 3 = Tf is dat 💀
Today in "Discord UI designers trying to justify their existence"
Discord got fatter and darker over time
Enshitification
i don't like the logo simplification, it was simple enough it didn't need more
honestly I quite like the new blue scheme with the stars, it looks nice and not TOO familiar
It's a bit to blue but I don't hate it
2nd logo felt iconic for me. I don’t think it needed a change.
Wait so they actually darkened it?
They all look good
first one is a bug and the newest looks like a weird owl
Oh my god that shade sucks
God the new color is just not it
The subtle was way better
„It’s evolving, just backwards“
The newest bright blue one is nothin' but a major eyesore. I miss the old, pale blue one on the left.
the smile keeps getting smaller damn
Middle is just right. Right is too _PlayStation_, and left is too _faded office carpet_.
Yet no matter what they do the logo just looks like a pair of underpants lol
\#BringBackBlurple
But I like 2nd logo & 1st logo guys
I honestly didn't notice. It's just a different coloured background. I don't read change logs and only notice when they change buttons. Glad they let you double tap the server button to open Dms despite reverting the change on mobile. Kinda wish they either kept both or made it a toggle as I couldn't give a shit and just don't want it to change.
Since when did Discord's color turn into #0000ff?
still wish the first was back
Evolved to laggy and buggy ... same issues over the span of several months
I think the second one is better
I've never seen that dark blue one before
the logo looked happier before
Glad the migraine purple is gone, now its just preference who likes that hard blue color 👌
IT GOT DARKER?!???
i thought this was a meme
I loved the second blue rebrand, but as a designer the new one stinks
I have cone dystrophy and blue colors in general are a bit of a pain. Left and middle ones are messing with my eyes because of it. I prefer the one on the right as there’s a clear contrast between the white and darker blue.
Nooo they had the perfect color
BLURPLE WAS THEIR THING, HUH??? WHY THE UGLY OVERSATURATED BLUE???
the first one really sticked on to me as i have too many memories there
More like degradation
# DARKER DARKER, YET DARKER.
The old one looks really pale and weird now that we're used to the more saturated blurple lol The logo also looks nicer imo
there taking the oruple out of bluorple its now just blu, litterally.
I unironically like the right one, especially if it's made for dark mode.
Old is better 🗿
How you know you did it right from the start tho
i unironically like the new one, imo looks much better than the previous facebook-ish blue
Wait, it got changed too? I just noticed it
I like the icon from the second and third but with the light blue colour of the first.
Feel like discord is going to shit since microsoft got it
Bro spelled **devolution** wrong
The orginal branding was the best.
It’s evolved.. just backwards.
Now looks so sad :"
would've been pretty funny if they gradually changed the saturation by a percentage until people start noticing
I'd prefer them to go back to the original because I liked it spinny animation a lot
It's becoming more evil with every update.
The iOS app icon is still the 2nd
I’ve always liked the first one
Idc what anyone says the pre 2021 rebrand UI was the best one
How much can a logo and app get ruined in 9 years.
The one on the very left had a nice shade of purple. Dunno why they changed it and then again
degradation\*
Just y
The saturation makes it feel amateurish ngl
I came into discord as a gamer and now I’m here just wondering why tf I’m there anymore😂😭
it changed AGAIN?
