What IS it? New design happened too fast

Thank you very much for this answer. I am looking forward for next iteration: I believe It will be the best update ever :star_struck:, considering the amount of feedback data you amassed…

Dull colors in general. Gives an impression of dusty, unused for a long time.

Learn vocabulary icon with five fingers now looks like two of the fingers squeezing an invisible object, and squirting a liquid out of that thing.

Speed review with that dark green surrounding does not match with the dark background, and it does not represent or symbolize “speed” in any way.

The yellow colour of the difficult words is not from the same color scheme, and it is even worse. It warns the user not to touch that button.

The pale blue for the pronunciation is looks like freezed, it is cold.

The wine red colour for the review button does not match the idea of watering.

The purple for the listening skills is also too dark on the dark gray background.

The review gray grammar button gives me hope because that button is most probably inactive, and there is a chance of having a nicer colour when they activate it. Untill then, I will not press on it.

I do not want to make a comment on the colour of the learn with locals button because it will be a personal comment, I do not like pink. Congratulations!

Thank you. Dot dot dot

I heard that the next MemRise design will be entirely based in Morse code :rofl: .
MemRise will be written as "-- . – .-. … … . " to show how much people, represented by dots, is at the heart of the brand.

The current Memrise design is already based on some kind of a code, maybe a code of dark sciences. This secret code is hidden in the memrise icon, in which the word memrise looks like a scribble when it is displayed in small size. Dear memrise, please compare your icon with all the other icons on the PC tab. Check the other background colors, check the number, size, shape and colour of the letters symbolizing the brands, companies or Websites, whatever they are. It is not a good idea to compress a 7-letter word into a square, especially if it will be displayed in small size.

Dreary and fusty.

I didn’t know these words. I looked up in the translator, and saw that they are the correct words for the “new” look. Very descriptive.

On the leaderboards, the row on which my name is displayed, is black. Why? Am I the worst, am I dismissed, am I banned? Oh, sorry… This must be the “new design”.

Ow. I checked their page, it raped my eyes with their own background (it starts moving…it was already bleh).

It seems like they’ve designed the Google logo :slight_smile:

To Memrise Team:
I hardly ever leave comments, especially negative ones, but… New website and app design is just terrible! :frowning:

Being a UI/UX designer my eyes are bleeding from the color palette, shapes and look&feel in general. I’d like to know who is that person who decided to replace really playful and fun design (and beautiful open-space concept) with this dull and ugly version?! :exploding_head: Please give the community a way to switch to the old design and then check your statistics. You guys will be surprised with results. I love Memrise, really. Sorry for saying this but your design kills motivation to learn and makes people leaving your project.

For now I’m asking for just one thing: a button that will change the design back to the previous space version and remove this nightmare which is called “new design”. Thank you in advance!

Personally I always have (and still prefer) the original planting theme.
While seeds and flowering plants remain (even through the space theme) the lovely landscape and some original colours have been supplanted :wink:

And the fun titles awarded for every new level reached.
[eg Memrise Rank: Membassador ]

What I like most about this design is that it is a professional color scheme, although it is made quite quickly, it achieves astonishing standards.

I haven’t allowed updates to apps in a while, but this one is a down grade. I hate to say something negative, but it looks like a 12 year old with ADHD who has been out of their meds for while designed it. Just looking at it gives me a headache. I used to be on here almost every day, now I will have to find somewhere else to learn languages. This is horrible!

Hi @adamnguyen94 and @Franklyn_Angie, you and others may be interested in this thread which refers to the latest APP changes:

Improvements to the Dashboard

As this one above refers to changes in April 2019 (and may refer to the Web version) but the one in the link above is from January 2020 and is current.

The pleasurable blue tone and soft grey makes it look inviting, usable, and professional. :+1:

I also really liked (and miss) the old logo (see top left of your image).

But MemRise prefers their new design.

I’m surprised no one has invented a script or skin to overlay the current design to revert back to the original. :wink:

The script is coming this week, have your Tampermonkey ready :monkey:
