@pojntfx My first thought was that it has moved from mimicking App Store’s badge to mimicking Google Play’s instead 😂

The App Store and Google Play badges, with pretty much the same differences as the old and the new Flathub badge

@bragefuglseth but what exactly is the improvement?
I mean "Download on" had the same length as "Flathub" in the old one, now with "Get it on" it looks a bit off.
Does it have a better resolution or something?
And well I assume the wording on the localized ones didnt fit to begin with, so what got "subtly improved"?

@Nickname Well, at least I subjectively think it looks better 😂 It mimicks Google Play’s badge FWIW, and I don’t think that one is too bad either.

But regardless of that, the new one is what apps will adapt going forward, so for the sake of consistency everyone is better off rolling with the shiny new thing ✨

@Nickname One additional practical advantage with the new badge is that the letter kerning of «Get it on» is lower, so there is in fact a lot more space for localized variants to use as well.

@Nickname @bragefuglseth my first question was... ok, so who designed the new one?

Edit: followed by what did the guy who designed the first one do?

(; self-edification for the win?

@sn0n @Nickname pretty sure @jimmac is the man behind both the old and the new one ⭐️

@bragefuglseth Razze (@razze) deserves all the credit for the tedious hard work of localization and ease of use / api. As always, I only did the initial kick off.
