@matrix thoughts on this from a private chat room:
> Would have been cool if they could get the new branding uploaded to the app store, gplay, f-droid, electron packages, etc before announcing it.
> it would also have been cool if they could have a single search result for "element", or even "element chat", but no, nothing
the name and icon now give off Really generic startup-y vibes in my opinion, but I wish you the best of luck with the rebrand and the future, I do like using matrix.
cool to hear that you got a design team now.
is the riot-web repository moving?

@matrix i really like that you deliver the apps via f-droid too โค (even if there is some delay ๐) more companies should do that, or publish apks directly.
Sorry, can't help but think of one of my favorites in this namespace:
@matrix Well that was certainly a surprise to this casual user
