New Qt logo

Hi I saw the new shape but thought it was a forum bug :-)
Indeed the new shape is fine but as you say, the new green color is off somehow..

Apparently the new green is meant to be "intense energetic" - http://blog.qt.io/blog/2016/04/13/making-the-qt-brand-remarkable/

I don't mind the new shape. The green I didn't like at first, but its starting to grow on me?

The 16px favicon is a bit squashed up though.

Hi
The green is not nice in the eyes. Makes the the white text
seem fussy. (for me)
Guess I have to stare a bit longer to get used to it :)

+1 for the old warmer green, it was more console like :D

I like the new shape. Looks a bit lite a memory card. And I also like the new font more than the old. All flat and modern. Maybe the "Q" could be a bit narrower because it still looks like big compared to the "t". The website, I mean qt.io, looks great with the new buttons, too.

I don't know what to think. The old one had that beautifully bohemian feather, but the new one is more clean and modern I suppose. I even like the color, it grows on you, even if it's "cold-ish" green ...

I really don't like the color, but I guess it's the new "thing", because everyone is doing it these days. Spotify had a pretty extensive blog post about the "neon green" and why you should love it without questions. It pretty much boils down to "because that's what the iphone green is now so...".

Yuck, I guess you're next uTorrent... ;(
green icons

I hope they dont change the .exe icon :)

why you should love it without questions
only boobs falls into that category for me... ;)

Chris Kawa

@mrjj I'm pretty sure they will. The current one is too 3D for the flat world we live in.

mrjj

@Chris-Kawa
sadly I guess u are right. when all flat and lifeless, we have
reached the state of modern :)
well luckily one can change icons :)

Can we get these funnily shaped buttons on the forum, too?

I liked the old color better (was a little bit nicer to the eye), but the new shape is a huge improvement. The old icon looked... well old somehow.

Also, I think if used everywhere, this icon will increase Qt's recognition (as it stands out more and is easily remembered and distinguished from any other green icon).
