The company Replit has updated its logo to a symbol called "prompt" which represents an empty canvas for creating, and is used in various places throughout the interface. The old logo was simplified due to difficulties with reproduction, clarity, and scalability, as well as similarities with other logos. The prompt symbol gained popularity among users who started using it on social media platforms, and its simplicity and ease of use made it a suitable choice for a logo. The new design aims to make the Replit brand more computing-y and friendly, with a cleaner logotype and the addition of color in certain cases.
