Claris Connect also has a new logo. It looks like a number of products will see their logo revisited, moving away from the color variations of the company logo. ---

I like the move to distinct icons that started with the icon for v19. The v19 icon didn’t wow me but it was effective. It was distinctive and easily identifiable amongst a sea of application icons. \[1\] This icon also does that. The F is so abstract that it’s barely recognisable. * * * 1. Now not seeing the app logo because I'm looking for the old one 🤦 ---

naja... looks like Flipboard and others - FileMaker before 2023 was quite exclusive in this manner ---

They are both based on the same character F, so I can see a similarity, though the colours are very different. ---

Every time I catch up on this thread, I keep thinking of @Malcolm's cool [button bar challenge post](https://the.fmsoup.org/t/community-design-challenge-button-bar-alphabet/3360), and wonder how closely someone can create the new logo using just button bars... ---

After watching a video from Claris with an overview of all of their products, the new colorfull icon makes sense imho. Although I prefer to not change the icon with every major version ---

I find Filemaker's logos (19 and 20) quite peculiar. Both are relatively small-scale and not reduced to the essentials. This strange color gradient adds even more to it. I like the 3 logos from @rivet much better. ---

Mmm, just compared the 2 most recent logos within Microsoft Remote Desktop as workspaces from our test RemoteApp server. A white surround on white background is always a problem. ![Screenshot 2023-04-27 at 11.25.51](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fmsoup/original/2X/5/5e627709748b3701b690acf289aff0b1f849f003.png) ---

Fundamentally the logo looks comparatively small. With the border not strong enough to clearly define the perimeter, the overall size is lost and the actual logo appears as a ‘mini me’ version when compared to those corresponding icons alongside. Try putting the new logo alongside those above created by @rivet at typical small icon size on a white background. ---

Interestingly, Microsoft take the same white background approach on their Mac Office app icons, but use different icons for Windows, the screenshot taken from my Windows 11 task bar. ![Screenshot 2023-04-28 at 08.52.36](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/fmsoup/original/2X/d/dac8af1beeb0dff743e13684a23af98002ce65b7.png) [Next page](https://the.fmsoup.org/t/new-logo-for-filemaker-2023/3526.md?page=2)
