El latest change made by the Slack design team It has become using the white background instead of the darker one that we had already become accustomed to.
If you already caused a tidal wave Slack on Twitter, with lots of community posts criticizing that new logo design just under 2 months old, now you've accomplished the same.
The last update to Slack logo design is a change to what would be your background color for the mobile app icon. Now it has gone from that dark purple to a bright white.
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 your device. Visit the Google Play or Apple App Store to update.

It was already in January when the logo created was significantly updated by the same Slack design team, albeit in conjunction with Michael Bierut and Pentagram. This led to a barrage of criticism from the community who "hated" the new entity of one of the largest professional communication tools today.
The objective was an own evolution of the logo, as is happening with a brand that is getting more mature over time. That design continued with the same colors, although with a change in the geometric shapes that draw the Slack logo.
All the criticism for the use of white in the background color They are based on the fact that it is now more difficult to differentiate Slack from other apps on a mobile. It is true, especially if we compare it with another big G app such as Google Photos and that has many similarities.
Una mobile app that is updated with a new white color for the fund and with which it will be more difficult to differentiate it. Although it will not really take us long to get used to it to continue using it as it has been up to now; few will be the users who leave it for an aesthetic change or almost none.
