I regularly come back to check on the current state of the Affinity applications. Every time I can't get over the fact, that the company uses a logo that looks like one for a 3d gaming engine or a science fiction first-person shooter in outer space. I interpret this as the software not being aimed at creative professionals but rather an audience that needs the software to design avatars for their Discord account. This may not be true, but it's how I perceive it.
It also may sound ridiculous (or trivial as mentioned before) to some people—but not to me as a creative professional. I am well aware of the power of visual language (it's my job) and assume this is a choice that was consciously made. So—no Affinity for me at the moment.
