✅ App Icon for Premium

It would be nice if we could have a app icon for each account type we have. Example a holographic :monzo: for Plus and a frosty white for premium :slight_smile:

Nothing wrong with extra flexes right?

Perhaps we could have a poll to choose an app icon. Then they could implement one that wasn’t chosen.

Good idea :bulb:

Uh oh, Poll Master incoming…

Agree on the icon choice though. There were icons for Plus v1/v2 (Hot Coral, Lagoon Blue, Midnight Sky), but none for the current Plus. Or Premium. It would be a nice touch to offer a difference which wouldn’t take much development time. You look at the icon more than you think.

How about this for a fun community game: folk design their own app icons and we can vote on our favourites?

I’d love them to do more like what Carrot weather, or Apollo for Reddit do - just having a hugeeeee library of choice - like obviously have the account / investor / beta etc types.

But just go for it with community designs, really ‘out there’ designs, to suit various colour schemes… Yes please!

Looks exactly the same as the stock one already in the app does that

I honestly am expecting the “M” logo to disappear from the app icon soon.
More than once in the months before I left I heard the design team express the desire to come up with something new and better.

I would imagine this is why there isn’t a new logo for Plus or Premium.

There did seem to be a trend a while back to moving to the logotype (the stylised word “monzo”) and abandoning the logo, but they never seemed to take that final step.

At the time, I did think that it was a mistake: I was down for reinvigorating it, maybe taking out the colours or reinventing it slightly, and trying it to become ubiquitous the way that the Facebook or Twitter logos are.

But times move on. Now, I just think the brand needs a slight refresh. It feels a bit tired.

Agreed. Although if you look at the Monzo Twitter icons then you’ll see they’ve used the whole word there. I think that’s a mistake - something shorter that’ll come to represent the whole company would be better. Even if it’s just the “m” from the Monzo logotype.
