Melting Duolingo icon - what is the issue?

So, what's the issue with the melting Duolingo app icon? After updating my Duolingo app, I noticed a strange oval-shaped icon that appears to be melting or screaming. Many users, especially on Reddit, are in a state of panic, wondering what has happened to Duolingo. Is it a result of unfinished lessons, a glitch, a bug, or perhaps a new feature? After conducting extensive research on the subreddit and creating other videos, I couldn't find a definitive answer. Duolingo itself has not posted a blog or press release explaining the change.

One theory circulating among users is that the melting icon is related to Halloween. It's possible that Duolingo wanted to introduce a creepy icon to get into the Halloween spirit. However, some people argue that it may be a bit early for Halloween, as the icon was released a week ago. Nonetheless, the Halloween theory is gaining traction within the Reddit community.

Another suggestion is that the melting icon is a clever marketing tactic by Duolingo. With everyone talking about the icon, it undoubtedly grabs attention. When compared to other icons, which may be perceived as boring, this one stands out distinctively. It's possible that this was a deliberate move by Duolingo to create buzz and differentiate their app from the competition.

In terms of being distinctive, it's hard to deny that the app icon's appearance sets it apart from other icons. Whether it's due to Halloween or a bold marketing strategy, this melting Duolingo icon is generating quite a conversation.

So, if you're a user of the Duolingo app, be sure to update it and observe how the icon changes over time. Who knows what surprises Duolingo has in store for us next?
