I have access to the “new look” now. It changed… nothing in the app. It’s just the icon and a couple of other very small components (like the transfer between accounts isn’t a small starling logo now, it’s just an S)
didn’t even change the colours lol
I’ll miss the Switch style ‘S’ as I still have fond memories of my first Switch bank card.
On Android, the logo is still the Switch style S, and you keep that unless you accept the prompt to change to the new logo. For the time being, anyway.
Accepting it removes the option to change the app icon to one of a dozen designs.
Looks like the font has changed too. My account balance appears bolder than it used to be.
I’m trying to be objective overall, I don’t massively like it
To be fair, the numbers are clearer and better, but the word font for me is atrocious
Yes, the font looks almost squashed, making it narrower and taller than it used to be. That part I’m not too keen on. I liked the old font, as it was clean and easier to read.
Other than both being an S made of 2 parts I don’t really see much resemblance at all.
Even the purple Solo variant doesn’t really sell a similarity:
Something just occurred to me; I’m a little surprised they didn’t roll out Liquid Glass at the same time as their refresh. Would have made ti feel more substantial.
Not the greatest fan of the new style but can live with it.
Notification in the app shows new card designs, and updated home screen.
Looks like the physical cards are going horizontal 
There is no eye icon in the top left for me, is this incoming or am I blind? Ah, seems that “gradually over the week” applied to everything, not just the Apple Wallet slide.
The balance is still left-aligned for me, so I’m guessing the eye thing is a shortcut to their chatbot/insights feature?
They’ve also slightly changed their PDF statements. Used to show the transaction feed friendly merchant name for each transaction, but now it shows the full reference details instead.
Ah yes. Not sure who benefits from that, but it’s not user-friendly. Pound to a pinch, they’ll drop that off when someone realises 
So now they’re now the full reference from the merchant? Personally, I think that’s better.
I had an issue a while back where a merchant was completely wrong on the app (they were the other end of the country), but in reality it was local. The reference was correct, the app wasn’t. But that meant my bank statement was also incorrect.
Swings and roundabouts I guess
I’m with starling on this. If there’s ever a dispute, it’s much easier if the statement shows accurate information, not edited/stylised/best guess info.
Upon reflection, I see the value of having the merchant data. I will say that it detracts from the beauty of the simplified version but, hey ho, it’s there for an important purpose.
Don’t ever say I’m inflexible.
