Is it just me or does the new reddit logo look evil

You serious, Clark?

pure evil. Idk if its supposed to look like this but it does.

maybe they accidentally left some transparency in place of the white when they first deployed, thus the back background seeped in

That thing still looks like something that could devour my sleep paralysis demon.

The completely red/orange eyes with no pupils and overly "happy" expression is what makes it so bad. It's a very good representation of reddit in a way. It's like the image version of the tiktok voice, deeply disturbing.

Makes sense. I use a forced dark mode setting for all sites so every so often something comes out looking strange.

Or maybe im just seeing their true nature!

^ Oh, that forced dark mode is most definitely it. It probably takes only the pure whites from images and turns them black, while retaining the grays and other colors

When I said I was sick of corporate minimalist designs, I did not mean I wanted them combined with late 00s psuedo-3d logos

Yeah I was about to say, this looks like they forgot about dark themes at first.

Still, it's a weird logo. It does look distinctively horror-y, and the shading is also weird. Stubble?

If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now.
