Why does it look so swastika-esque? Who's pockets did Slack fill up with cash to design this thing? It's like they literally took the old logo and said: "How can we make this look more like a swastika?". Makes you wonder if there's someone internally with a hidden agenda...

#62Just reloaded my work slack. For a good couple of moments I thought my clumsy fingers accidentally changed the the color balance on windows.
Indeed, I freaked out a little bit as well. Interestingly, some Slack groups that I’m part of still have the old colors. Theme: Aubergine *(Old)* Normal Color: #4d394b New Background Color: #3f0e3f Reference: https://i.imgur.com/RtUXm6V.png
Interesting to see Google is a Slack customer (google.slack.com). Thought they had a competitive product?

#63More 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
I much prefer the (hopefully satirical) Pepsi Gravitational Field [2008]

What do you think it cost to get this slack logo designed from a company that prestigious? I see they also did rolls royce

It actually makes sense - they were banning Iranian users recently[0]. How much more nefarious will Slack become? Only time will tell...

#68What about the features that existed in the last favicon ?
We used to be able to see if there was new messages, or if someone tagged you, directly in the favicon without opening slack, now it is impossible.
You are forced to go check slack all the time to see if there is something new. I'm disappointed :'(

#70If it’s not broken, don’t fix it. If you have to argue whether it’s an improvement, it’s not an improvement.
