NEW LOOK INSTAGRAM
9:22 PM
This morning the good folks at Instagram released a new update for its beloved app. With this new update came a logo change and a new look for all of their apps across the board. They were going for a more simplistic look. "The simpler design puts more focus on your photos and videos without changing how you navigate the app,” the company said. “Our updated look reflects how vibrant and diverse your storytelling has become.” Little did they know they would send the internet and its users into freak out mode.
People don't like the icon and the new logo at all. Many meme's were created because of the disapproval of the change. I love the internet. The people of the internet never let nothing get by them. I MEAN NOTHING! Here are a few of my favorites from today. I created the last one. Its only right. I had to do it.
I personally think they did a great job with the simplistic in app look. I'm a fan of all things simple and clean. With the new update, your photos and videos pop because of the minimal colors and white background. I have a problem with new icon! I don't like it at all. I don't have a problem with the new logo it's just the color scheme choice. I think that if they wanted to stay with the whole simplicity theme then those colors don't go. Its like they couldn't decide what to do in the late night hours so they just went on Word or Powerpoint and picked a theme. I mean come on man, this is what ya'll came up with? You have all these talented people working at Instagram and this is your end product? I think they should listen to their users and make a change ASAP. I mean the app went from having a 5 star rating to having a 2.5 rating after the release of this update. To make matters worse, they seemed to have blocked us from reading all the terrible reviews they are receiving. You can also see that a bunch of people gave them a 1 star in the app store which is awful.
I'll be very interested to see what they do. Will they listen to their users or will they hold their ground and let us get use to it? Only time will tell.
