I also think it’s a horrible name, reminds me of “Tootsie” and an equally ugly logo to match.
These things are subjective but if enough people hate it, perhaps it’s important to look into it.
- ummonk 7y agoI normally complain about terrible open source branding but didn't have a negative reaction to this branding when I saw this post. Goes to show how important it is to do user research on a broad swath of the population to make sure you have branding that isn't off-putting to a significant subset of people.
- systemvoltage 7y agoDefinitely. There is also universal agreement in good branding vs bad branding. I’ve been browsing the top branding blog for over 12 years now: https://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/ https://www.underconsideration.com/brandnew/ Still subjective but let’s compare Jitsi brand with something from https://www.cghnyc.com/ https://www.cghnyc.com/ There is certainly a huge difference even though it’s not a quantitative measure. Jitsi brand just sucks so bad. :(
