I'm pretty sure that as a consumer, you don't need a phd in marketing to know what you like and dislike.

FYI, today's update to the desktop client officially included a name change to Blizzard App, along with a new icon (the Blizzard logo). Alas, this means the end of the cool-looking Battle.net icon which was designed by none other than XG3 of StarCraft Legacy fame.

The new icons are ugly. Blizzard needs to hurry up and come up with a replacement name and logo.

So now you launch Blizzard to play games made by Blizzard, but this is somehow less confusing?

Thankfully it should have no big impact on how StarCraft 2 App or Overwatch App is played.

I appreciate that the Battlenet name yet lives on in the app.

'Battle.net required update' then suddenly it's gone RIP

Also marketing must be feeling great now that battlenet is dead but the blizzard logo as a square icon in my taskbar looks terrible. It's just a mess with so little pixels.

Yeah... The Blizzard icon within the launcher is not bad here:

But on the taskbar... horrible is not an enough word to describe it.

Strange move from Blizz but follows the trend of dumbing things down.

This makes it doubly frustrating that they changed 'Blizzard Allstars' to the obscure Heroes of the Storm.

I'm convinced that BAlls would have been a far bigger mainstream success than HotS.
