New Logo/Icon
Re: New Logo/Icon
While I understand that nobody likes changes, I do think the first version of the new logo is pretty awful. The second is somewhat better. But not as much as the original/current logo.
My question to Don is what's the reason behind the change?
And for those who simply refuse to update XY due to the logo change, isn't that a little extreme? You're willing to give up improvements/fixes in the application for the sake of how a logo appears??

And they must exist some solution to change all icons from an application ?

Re: New Logo/Icon
For me, not really. Like I mentioned above, starting with Dark Mode (which I hate in all applications) until now, there have been very little new features added that affect my workflow. There have been great changes; however, they just don't apply to me or the things I use in XY. I have my setup the way I like it with a 100% mirrored configuration in another product (in the event of a something tragic happening).
For these reasons, I version locked my XY to 23.60.0100, disabled updates, removed my beta update CTB, blocked on the firewall and have no plans to update. At this point, there would have to be something extremely useful to me for me to update and I just don't see that happening. I don't expect my XY Wishes to be granted (although some have been and I am grateful for that). For my open Wishes, I do have workarounds using other tools that I have integrated into my XY workflow and will plan on continuing to use them as-is.
Re: New Logo/Icon
Thanks for your thoughts, VeeGee. I certainly can't argue with that as it makes perfect sense. Which sort of leads me back to the original thought of Don replacing the logo: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."VeeGee wrote: ↑20 Sep 2022 17:59 For me, not really.

Here's xy_red.ico (as zip) for anyone who may want it
I have to say, the red is definitely better than the blue (agree with Don, too much blue already in icons I typically have in the taskbar), but I still prefer the old one. Nevertheless, I'm updating my CTB icon to the red one, absolutely easier to distinguish than the blue.

There's already a tweak for it since many years
Code: Select all
; Tweak: custom app icon

Re: New Logo/Icon
New icon is hideous. How about multi-threading? XYplorer (Not Responding) is getting OLD. Seems like every new feature is like lipstick on a pig.
I want XY to serve soft ice cream. Please Don, make XY serve soft ice cream.
Re: New Logo/Icon
I think the original XY branding is cool and very easy to recognise. Is there really a need to change it?
The new branding is void of character, very corporate and generic. Its not as iconic as the original.
Here's some quick random thoughts: -
Perhaps others could keep posting ideas until Don is inspired to create a different design (or keep the original!) :3

Re: New Logo/Icon
Ah, ok, Display, did not get that at first.
Anyway, I ofc agree with VeeGee. Thank you for your design ideas. They are great!
I just felt that the y looking like a down arrow (at a -45° angle) looks so depressing...

Re: New Logo/Icon
Only just updated to the latest version today and I have to say, sorry, I'm not a fan. I understand that wanting to change to something fresh and new but this icon doesn't seem very 'modern'. Personally, I love the old icon.
