<p style="font-size:14px; color:#ddd; margin:0 0 10px;">
	If you’ve browsed around the platforms or hopped onto Discord today, you might have noticed things look a little different! Today, we are incredibly excited to officially unveil our <strong>brand-new community logo and refreshed visual identity.</strong>
</p>

<p style="font-size:14px; color:#ddd; margin:0 0 16px;">
	As our network continues to grow, we wanted a look that feels modern, clean, and unique to who we are. Our new logo is a major step toward that direction—giving us a sleek, minimalist aesthetic while keeping the exact same core community vibe you all know and love.
</p>

	The visual updates are live starting right now. You don't need to do anything on your end except enjoy the fresh paint!
</p>

<p style="font-size:14px; color:#ddd; margin:0 0 10px;">
	As with any major branding sync across multiple networks, there's always a chance something got missed. We'd appreciate your eyes on the look as well:

		<strong style="color:#e8e8e8;">Report Old Assets</strong> — If you find a page, banner, or image somewhere still sporting the old design, please drop a comment or open a ticket.

		<strong style="color:#e8e8e8;">Cache Clears</strong> — If the logo looks distorted or unchanged for you on the forums, try doing a hard refresh (<kbd>Ctrl + F5</kbd>) to clear your browser cache.
	</li>
</ul>

	<p style="margin:0 0 4px; font-size:14px; font-weight:700; color:#e8e8e8;">
		Why did we change the logo?
	</p>

	<p style="margin:0; font-size:14px; color:#bbb;">
		Our previous design served us well, but we wanted something sleeker, more scalable, and recognizable at smaller resolutions (like Discord avatars or mobile app notification symbols).
	</p>
</div>

<div style="padding:10px 0; border-bottom:1px solid rgba(255,255,255,0.06); margin-bottom:10px;">
	<p style="margin:0 0 4px; font-size:14px; font-weight:700; color:#e8e8e8;">
		Does this mean the community direction is changing?
	</p>

	<p style="margin:0; font-size:14px; color:#bbb;">
		Not at all! New look, same community. Our projects, servers, staff, and core rules remain completely untouched. This is strictly a cosmetic upgrade.

		Where can I give feedback on the design?

		Right below this post! Drop a reply and let us know what you think of the new styling. We'd love to hear your thoughts.
