Just reloaded my work slack. For a good couple of moments I thought my clumsy fingers accidentally changed the the color balance on windows.

The brighter purple on the sidebar is too high contrast for my eyes. Not a fan.

You can customize the colors in your settings, and your changes apply across all platforms and devices.

More interesting for the HN crowd I think is the article from the actual design company that did the redesign: https://www.pentagram.com/work/slack

At first I thought this was interesting, mainly because of all the design talent that is at Slack already. But then I realized, it was probably just an easier move to get an outside company to do it and make it a lot less political than had it been done in-house at Slack. And well, Pentagram is also huge, to be fair.

Did they identify more like a gazelle, jaguar or leopard.

It's always a little sad to me when technology companies make sure a big deal about logos, marketing, and brand. Im not sure if I disrespect them more but Id rather such focus be on the technology aspect of what they do vs the look at the font we made, or the logo marketing put together.

It's not an either-or thing. Slack engineers are still working on the technology aspects.

Hmmmm... yeh, but when any company starts messing with their branding, it frequently turns out to be not a good sign.
