Slack’s Logo Change
In January 2019, interoffice messaging app Slack changed its logo from a colorful hashtag to an “octothorpe.”
The Backlash
The new logo was ill-received by users and the media alike. The Twitterverse noted comparisons between the new logo and Microsoft’s logo and, worse, said it resembled a multicolored swastika. The company doesn’t seem to care about the backlash because it has stuck with its new logo.
