I was looking at my own website on my phone and the logo looked like a blob
I was showing my site to a friend and he squinted at his phone and said 'what's that shape supposed to be?' I had this detailed logo that looked great on my computer, but on a small screen it just turned into a messy smudge. I checked it on three other phones and it was the same. I spent all last week redoing it to be way simpler. Has anyone else had to totally change a design because it didn't work on mobile?

Actually, that sounds like a design failure from the start. A good logo should work at any size, so maybe the original concept was just too complex. It's kind of lazy to blame mobile screens instead of the design itself. You probably should have tested it more before launching the site.

Totally agree with this, it's a basic rule of logo design that gets ignored way too often. You see these super detailed logos that look cool on a big monitor but turn into a blurry mess on a phone. That complexity always comes back to bite you, especially now when most people are browsing on a small screen. It's not just about testing, it's about starting with a simple, strong shape that can shrink down without losing its point. Honestly, if a design falls apart at a small size, it was never a good logo to begin with.
