arXiv replaces its signature crimson toolbar with dark charcoal, sparking backlash over the loss of its 1991 design

@jxmnop

@jxmnop wow, what a terrible decision

We never thought that arXiv leaving Cornell would mean that we'd be losing that comfy Cornell Red 💔

I guess now we have to get used to "Repository Brown"...

@jxmnop never written a userscript faster in my life

@jxmnop crimson red has an academic feel to it that i can't simply describe. rip.

@jxmnop this is terrible had to double check

Truly outrageous! Not unlike Jaguar removing its cat logo. Whoever has the power to influence this to be changed back, please act now!

I'm not making this up: https://info.arxiv.org/brand/colors.html

@jxmnop oh god

@jowenpetty time for you to graduate!

@jxmnop No change this back immediately 😖😭

@jxmnop Black Tuesday

@jxmnop this is criminal

@jxmnop NO

@jxmnop RIP

@jxmnop ewwww

@jxmnop red is better

@thegautamkamath arxiv and I have very different definitions of brown
