    The details such as ears, whiskers, nose are way too small. They’re hardly recognisable on a mobile device, app icon wise.

    I love the app but the new icon / logo not so much.

      100% agree. I really enjoy the app and Kuro has done amazing work, but this logo misses the mark tbh. I’m definitely no graphics designer (just someone who knows enough to make shitty memes), but the alignment is all over the place with this logo.

        I thought it looked a bit weird when it was more symmetrical but this is another version and I’ll let you judge. (

        Often things need to be off center, and not perfect circles because of how humans perceive things… But here it’s is really flawed, and doesn’t look good or professional at all.

        Thanks for this image, I was thinking the same. I feel like it would work to just put the ears on top of the C. Maybe add a nod to the whiskers with some lines around the edge.

      As a graphic designer I do agree. If the makers of the Connect app wish I’d be more than willing to help them with a new logo. It’s not a bad concept per se, just needs some better execution

      I only noticed the mouse when I saw the logo in this thread. On my home screen it’s barely noticeable. I do think there’s something to the idea of hiding it in there somehow, but it could use some refinement.

      I personally dislike the ears and whiskers a lot. Not sure why exactly, I just really hate it. To the point that it’s no longer on my home screen. I may even look for other apps. It’s bizarre that it bothers me this much, but it really does.

        I think its because from a distance the ears and whiskers just look like glitched pixels or something. When i first saw it i thought something was up with my screen for a hot sec
