Effing teal. I don’t believe it.

Not real teal. But very close to a Starling teal.

It’s definitely got the teal appeal.

It looks mint coloured 
It was not on my previous non-investor card from July either

Have we ruled out Monzo just trolling Starling?

Or N26 who declared Teal as their new colour!

Have I missed some N26 news? 
Why are we using the same colour as others. Surely our colour needs to be distinctive!

I think I actually prefer the dark blue card 
It’s not particularly new, or newsworthy!
But they felt the need to tweet it the other day…

Poor the 'ling. They can’t seem to get a break. 
Using one identity so far from the original brand in tone for disparate products like personal/business would IMO be a mistake. I think they should have different but linked branding for each (including card colour).
One way to get there would be to have one white logo on different colours. Controversial, but I’d like to see hot coral for personal cards, dark blue for business, and another hot colour for joint accounts (many customers asked when they were introduced.
Choosing dark blue as the main colour communicates (to me at least), we don’t take risks, we’re solid, old fashioned and boring. For the app icon and main social media I’d personally use hot coral as it is so widely recognised now and synonymous with Monzo, plus it tells you this is no ordinary bank.

They could have a logo of a Unicorn for all I care. As long as they carry on developing the great features in the app, that helps me with my money.

I ain’t no designer but I like the new social logos. If it was me, i would have done this:
Main twitter, hot coral background
Making Monzo twitter, blue background from M logo
Status twitter, yellow background from the M logo
You get the gist.

It does look kind of boring to be fair and really doesn’t make someone want to click to view your profile. The normal logo makes someone actually think “oh whats Monzo?” but just having the word “monzo” doesn’t. You say it is so people know what the “M” means but on all social media where does it show a display picture but not the profile name? I feel like having the “M” above the word “monzo” would look much better and address all concerns.

The coloured M logo is much more inviting, going with a plain white monzo word is just yawn, it’s just like every other bank including starling, generic non descript bore fest.
Unify the design across the scope of the business by all means but please keep some colour in there, it’s the thing that sets Monzo’s aesthetic apart from the rest. It’s what makes it unique in my eyes.
