Obsidian has unveiled a new logo and app icon, inspired by the volcanic rock of the same name. The design philosophy emphasizes longevity (notes stored as plain text files readable across decades), sharpness of thinking (referencing the knapping technique used to shape obsidian tools), and customizability (the icon can be personalized with custom color schemes via downloadable vector files). The rebrand coincides with milestones including nearly 1,000 community plugins, 100,000 Discord members, and 1 million downloads on the latest release. The new icon is also accompanied by a refreshed website, a new blog section, and a changelog page.
