MastodonWe are teaming up with the design agency @oakstudios to update our homepage and our brand. Goodbye social media blue, hello vibrant purple!

antifa supersoldier@Mastodon As a lover of purple, I approve.
@Mastodon Also, I may or may not be biased because of my instance's purple theme.

@Mastodon but... Why?

Reminds me Yahoo!'s "start wearing purple" campaign:

You *may* enjoy this fediverse icon too, then. Its purple *and* has purpose.

Attached: 1 image We produced How-To-Draw for the #fediverseIcon. It was produced completely without measurements and somehow we produced it at #A4 (1mm off — ie. 211mm rather than 210). We produced it for the web anyway — so don't even think about #printing it! :P #fediArt #fediOrigami #copyLeft #fediMeta #activism #deleteCAGEFAM @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]

@Mastodon @oakstudios so basically blurple
Slips 
@Mastodon didn't Discord just do this exact think like, a couple months ago?

SkyfaR@Mastodon @oakstudios okay jetzt also nicht mehr Twitter blau sondern dafür Discord lila wie originell.
joene 🏴@Mastodon @oakstudios Personally I would use a bit less saturation, but it's good enough for me. And purple!
@Mastodon @oakstudios Would also great btw if users could pick their own preset color for the web-ui.
WerySkok 
Mascord.
ocdtrekkie@Mastodon @oakstudios Goes well with my Sandstorm.io server. Purple is the new blue.
Dag Ågren ↙︎↙︎↙︎@Mastodon @oakstudios Hooray for less Sexually Insecure Blue in the world!
Tamitha@Mastodon @oakstudios Why was this necessary?
Is this why so many terms that were endearing to Mastodon -- like Toot! -- are going so generic?
Y'all going for an IPO next?
@Gargron @Mastodon @oakstudios Be careful to avoid Discord "blurple" during the makeover.
kebab@Gargron @spicytamazon @Mastodon @oakstudios Yall should be charging to read some of these "criticisms" tbh. Although I do regret "toots" being changed. its still toot on my client tho, so Im happy! Also the purple looks great
Brandon Smith@Mastodon @oakstudios So...a shitty rip-off Discord Logo. Went from ripping off one shit-tier social platform to another. I'd expect nothing less.

Love the purple 
FediTips has moved!Saw this over on mastodon.online, all the blues replaced with purples.
It is now quite hard to see whether a post is boosted on my laptop's screen.
The old blue was much easier to distinguish.
It doesn't matter what colour the logo is, but please keep the interface colours useable with better contrast.
Luc@feditips @Mastodon @oakstudios I agree that contrast is very very important, because it heightens accessibility. Although for me it sort of works; could there be a difference between light mode and dark mode? (I use light.)
@Lucseleventje @Mastodon @oakstudios
I use dark, the background colour is too similar to the new blue/purple.
Guessing a lot depends on the monitor/laptop model too.
Egon Willigh☮gen 🟥There is a high contrast theme option but I'm guessing most people won't know about it?
However, just heard from @Gargron that they've fixed the contrast issue in the upcoming update 🥳
@feditips @Mastodon @oakstudios If you're talking about the web app, I fixed the contrast in the main branch, but mastodon.online/mastodon.social are not updated to that version yet.
@Gargron @Mastodon @oakstudios
Oh ok, that's fantastic! Thank you! 🙏
JL the Masto Don@Mastodon @oakstudios Love it! Noticed the favicon was updated a couple of weeks ago, and wondered if a change was in the air!
Mike Input@Mastodon @oakstudios Purple is much better

@Mastodon nice blurple
Mr. Funk E. Dude 🤡@Mastodon @oakstudios for obvious reasons, I approve.
Oliver (verschnupft)

@Mastodon @oakstudios Purple also signifies royalty & power so it fits as well.
Alejandro Baez@Mastodon @oakstudios it really does stand out! Loving the new color. 🙌
Danny 👾@Mastodon @oakstudios Not bad.
FiXato@Mastodon
FYI, the new purple used in the call to action button widget has a contrast that kinda makes it 'swim' annoyingly in my vision. It makes the text 'dance' quite a bit more and thus makes it harder to read for me.

AlphaChill ❤️🔥@Mastodon @oakstudios I just downloaded the icon a few minutes ago. Hah, good timing.
jeff@Mastodon @oakstudios who will help me upgrade my server

Ben Werdmuller@Mastodon @oakstudios Super-neat!!
(((Ttown)))🌐✌@Mastodon @oakstudios l like the new color but the shape is more of a word bubble and less of a Mastodon. It needs a tusk.
@Mastodon @oakstudios Also, sad to say, the M reminds me of golden arches.
Dr. Dan Killam
Sandy Cyborg 🇨🇦🍁@Mastodon @oakstudios fuckk yeaahhh I love purple
@Mastodon @oakstudios Looks really good! It reminds me of the Emacs logo
Down10@Mastodon The purple is really eye-searing. Could you maybe tone down the contrast a little?
Were you inspired by the (#)FediverseIcon we produced last week? If so that great!
