Slack has decided to somehow make its icon even duller and less notable
When massively popular workplace messaging app Slack first revealed that it would be trading in its wonderfully unique hashtag logo for a squirting pinwheel, I found a silver lining anyhow. “At least it’s got that nice purple background,” I thought to myself, the first time I saw the new icon pop up on my Android phone.
But it seems that Slack is dead set on making its logo as generic as can possibly be, because today it’s replacing that purple with a white background instead.
Just like half the other apps on my phone.
Incredibly, Slack says the move is designed to make it easier to spot the Slack app:
Starting today, you may notice your Slack mobile app icon change from purple to white. This should make it a little easier to see on…
