One month, that’s all it took for Slack to revise its new logo. And while you may have thought they had done so following the uproar of people who were seeing a hidden swastika in the negative space, you would be wrong.

It seems Slack is more interested in making its logo as generic as possible. Gone is the nice purple background that made the app stand out on our phones and desktop. It has now been replaced by a white (boring) color.
