🔥 Roast my app logo
I just recently launched my app, Dumbify. It's a minimalist Home Screen launcher for iPhone.
I am by no means a graphic designer, so I am looking for any input that people can provide on my current design!

I think that's a great idea, people are getting distracted so fast these days. I guess the app logo looks great, don't need to change anything on that!
As a designer, here are my comments:
Scalability: 4 out of 5. The logo scales well to both large and small sizes. I've deducted a point because there could be potential issues when the logo is rendered at very small sizes.
Recall: 2 out of 5. While the logo is simple and elegant, it lacks distinctiveness in a crowded market. Many similar logos exist, which affects its memorability, earning it a score of 2.
Story: 5 out of 5. The horizontal bars in the logo immediately connected with UI design for me, requiring no effort to understand the symbolism. This is excellent storytelling.
Aesthetics: 4 out of 5. The logo is aesthetically pleasing. It is minimal, as logos should be. However, I suggest removing the triangle shapes on the left side of the bars to enhance its visual appeal.
Overall, you've got a nice logo there for an app. Awesome work!
Wow! Thanks for the very detailed breakdown! :) I feel like your review is very accurate. I'm also pleased that the story is so obvious, that is exactly what I was going for!
Am designer; great start. It’s suggestive of the app content, fairly recognizable, and clean. I’d say for a non-designer this is about a 9/10.
I’d only suggest maybe reducing the detail a bit so it looks good at a wider range of sizes (e.g. you may consider going from 7 to 5 lines). You could probably also afford to take up a little more of the available space.
Awesome work and great app idea!
solid minimalist style, fits well with its function. Just a quick note on the name: “Dumbify” is catchy but might carry unintended connotations for some users. Worth thinking about how it aligns with your brand’s image :)
I'm no logo expert, but I really love what you've created! It perfectly captures what Dumbify is all about: a minimalist approach, replacing cluttered screens with a simple list.
From my perspective, a logo doesn't matter that much for a new, small side project.
Good, you've got a nice biz name, easy to remember.
If you want to get other Startup Visuals like beautiful screenshots of the app, styled with gradient backgrounds, auto paddings, rounded corners, or social media banners, etc. try StartupUtils where you can get unlimited graphics for your side project :)
I prefer logos from simple icon matching my biz niche and some background following primary color I used for the project.
Launching multiple side-projects a year, it's easier to follow such simplicity, paying for every logo design I'd end up broke!
