New look for Starling

Seen this on Instagram :thinking: Didn’t they refine their look not so long ago?

What is the new look? That video only lasts 3 seconds and the logo doesn’t look any different…

I’m not sure about the big butt on that S, but I don’t dislike it overall. I quite liked the old logo though.

It looks a bit same-y to me. Not sure I’m a fan, but time will tell…

I’m curious, where did you find that?

That’s awful.

It was in their email to me. They wanted to give customers a head’s up so, in their words:

Scammers sometimes try and take advantage in times of transition, so we’re giving you an overview of the changes in advance.

The new designs are nasty.

I’ve a lot of time for Starling, but this look is in no sense an improvement. It’s always looked rather elegant. Not so now…..

Looks like a railway station chain cafe trying to be trendy 10 years ago. Cack.

I think I object to the colour scheme more than the typeface or logo, but none of them are good. Oh well, it’s not a deal breaker for me.

downloaded my starling app again. overall i’m convinced that the app is still a lot smoother than alternatives and without the bloat that Revolut have, while much more professional looking than Monzo

I just wish one of them would let you add nicknames to merchants (per transaction and generically) and I wish one of them would let me either a) upload my own logos or b) switch to categories only (like N26 did).

I genuinely don’t understand the Monzo app. It is a chaotic mess.

I find it straightforward tbh. But then I don’t have a joint account messing up my transaction lists or bill pots.

Wonder how much this rebrand cost? There was nothing wrong with the old logo.
