Pluto TV recently "refreshed" the look of their app. Not sure it was necessary. But I don't hate it.
Tubi has now done the same. This time, I *hate* it.
They've gone from the clean reddish thin logo font on black background
to a gaudy horrible yellow "fat" logo font on purple background... Ugh.
I have no idea why the marketing "geniuses" feel the need to do these "refreshes" – if it's not "broke", why are you "fixing" it?!!

About the only good thing I can say about this - now that (formerly HBO)
Max abandoned purple for their color, Tubi is now the only streaming app
in purple, so at least it's distinctive.
I also now hate their opening animation (and sound) - the former one was memorable, but this one is just trite and annoying.
Inside the app, the background is now purple instead of black. *Hate* it.
On my Sony TV version of the app, the 'You Might Also Like'
recommendations have completely disappeared - no way to find a follow-up
film or somewhat relatedly-themed film in I'm interested. (Maybe a
rollout glitch?)
Luckily, the Apple TV box app still has the 'You Might Also Like' recommendations, though now with the purple background I hate.
Otherwise, I think the app is little changed - I still get 16 (it used
to be 8 until several months ago) 'Featured' selections at the top, and
then 40 selections under categories like 'Recommended' and 'Leaving Soon'.

You are misspelling it. It now ends with the lowercase I but the dot goes between the T and the U.

I think that's a serif, not the dot of an "i".

No, it's a dot, like lifetimes big red period.
When you launch the app, you get a prolonged animation with it flying
around. And the dot is missing from the i. In the previous version of the >logo, the dot landed on the i at the end of the animation.
Of course, maybe it used to be the i and now it's the crossbar from the t, >but that would be even stupider.

I looked at their website and it's the crossbar on the right side of the letter, not a seriff on the crossbar.

You are right - it's on the other side of the T's serif.
IOW, you are right - they've moved the dot from the "i" to be in front
of the "t" now.
It's really, really dumb. >:|
