Yo Medium, What is You Doing, Baby? Bring Back the Green Origami M

I assumed by now I’d get used to it. Facebook changes something every other day (like where my notification button is or what it looks like). But nearly a month after Medium changed its funky and sexy origami green M to an unassuming Times New Roman “I’m sending my resume and attaching a cover letter for you to review” black and white M, I still hate it. It’s hideous.

I can handle the clapping thing, and even the “what the fuck is Medium doing?” membership thing — I just won’t read anything I have to pay for — #problemsolved. But the ugly black and white M? Was there a reason to fix something that objectively looked great?

Of course not.

But who am I?

Why does my opinion matter?

It doesn’t. But it kinda does because I know I’m not the only one who feels like this. Medium, I love you, but can you do a brotha a favor? Bring back the green M.

Thanks,

Manny
