Why is Patreon a Bean

I’ve gotten this question now several times, and I’d like to very quickly say… BECAUSE MARKETING IS STUPID… that is the new Patreon Logo, I just live here

Yes, it is a stupid bean, no nobody knows why or what it is, they lost 100% of their brand recognition… I got nothing

It’s a stylized “P”… it’s not that hard…

I think it is suppose to be a modern looking P. But I don’t like it. Now I can’t unsee the BEAN.

Sure… a stylized P… if you squit your eyes just right. I maintain much like HBO, HBO GO, HBO NOW, HBO MAX,MAX, HBO MAX (again.. but in black)… they don’t understand the value of branding.

I saw it as a painter’s palette like Bob Ross.

Reminds me of some animated loading blob from something back in the day, can’t place it. But regardless silly to throw away a recognizable logo, but the new movement is for “unrecognizable” logos. This one, not bad for a coffee stain, chicken nug, shitty guitar pick, afro hair, or a bean.

That’s been their logo since 2023, of five if I’m counting correctly since 2013. Should be changing again any minute now!

I mean, it looks so malformed and strange up there, it did tempt me to click on it.
