LONDON: Gen Z considers Snapchat its favorite social media platform, but it’s not the social app teens use the most. People hate even the simplest of changes, especially when it’s a brand or logo that’s been fairly consistent over time.
Snapchat updated their logo last week, making the outline of its signature ghost, “Chillah,” a little bolder and more defined against the yellow background.
No big deal, right?
As they say, it’s a thin line between love and hate. And the company’s shift to a thicker line has brought out many “irrationally upset” Snapchat users to lament the change on Twitter.
