Twitch, the leading service, and community in online multiplayer entertainment released a brand refresh today. Twitch has a color palette, logo, font, and overall community experience of the product. Below, we have a list of some of the new features that viewers and streamers can look forward to experiencing on their website.
This redesign began just over a year ago, with Twitch wanting to have a brand that matched the energy of their community, but it will, of course, keep the Purple. There is no Twitch without purple, after all. Viewers won’t have to worry though: Emotes are unchanged.
Twitch Rebrand Highlights:
Color Palette: A new brighter purple to match the vibrant energy of the community plus more than two dozen new colors named after iconic games/pop culture (Black Ops, Ice, DK, Pika Pika, etc.). The new palette will be seen across all of Twitch and the updated Dark Mode theme will allow Twitch to easily build additional accessibility features.
Twitch Logo and Font: Twitch is going bigger and friendlier (and less text-heavy). The new logo features a bold, block letterform, with deep extrusion inspired by the retro game esthetic. The new font, Roobert, is Inspired by the retro Moog synthesizer which is now present across Twitch.
Video Player, Chat and Emotes: The Video player is now edge-to-edge so creators will be front and center with chat being cleaner and easier to use than ever. Emotes are totally unchanged but plan on seeing them even more!
Brand Campaign: Twitch will also begin to tease their first-ever brand campaign “You’re already one of us” which will feature a series of teaser videos from Eric Andre. The campaign which will launch in the weeks ahead is synonymous with Twitch’s vibrant and loud collage of internet aesthetics, emotes and memes that represent the community.
Twitch’s brand refresh launches ahead of TwitchCon 2019, taking place this weekend on Friday, September 27 – Sunday, September 29 at the San Diego convention center. TwitchCon attendees will find Twitch’s new branding on display throughout the convention.

Last Oasis made a huge announcement today, that they will be entering Steam’s Early Access program during Q1 2020. A new trailer was also shown off today, revealing this world trapped between a frozen wasteland and a bitter, unrelenting heat. Set thousands of years in Earth’s future, a cataclysmic event destroyed the moon and halted the planet’s rotation. Earth is stuck in two extreme, unlivable environments.
There is but one strip of land between the two, slowly moving as the Earth rotates around the sun. A single day is now a whole year, and the only way to make it is to keep moving. Humanity has built “Floatilla”, a walking city, where unwilling nomads will be sent into the passing oases from, to gather resources to keep the city moving. But clans clash in heated battle over resources, territory, and alliances. It’s not an easy life, but it’s the only one they have.
“At launch, we want the experience to stand out from other Survival games”, said Donkey Crew’s Project Lead, Florian “chadz” Hofreither. “That means taking more time to refine the gameplay and add more content. We’ve decided to continue improving the game alongside out community into 2020 to ensure Last Oasis reaches its full potential.”
Lock’s Quest the cult-classic RTS game that blended Tower Defense, RTS, and RPG elements into one space is now available on mobile devices! Players control Lock, a young hero who is the last line of defense against Lord Agony and the Clockwork Army.
The gameplay is divided into three key elements. In the story part, you travel the Kingdom with Lock, talk to NPCs, take quests, get new equipment and experience the story. When enemy forces appear, it’s time to prepare your defensive structures in the build mode – place towers, walls, traps and customizes them. Add an acid attack to a tower for example, or harden your walls by using stone instead of wood. The third part of gameplay starts, when the battle commences: Roam the battlefield with Lock, smash enemies, repair towers and walls and use your super attacks wisely. It’s available for 7.99 USD, without any ads, microtransactions, or loot boxes. All you have to do worry about is defeating Lord Agony.
