The launch of Radar wasn’t foursquare’s only revolutionary change today. Foursquare for iPhone v4.0 features a revised icon that does away with the purple ball that’s been there since foursquare began. It’s replaced by a green one instead.
Foursquare designer Mari Sheibley layed out the reasoning on her blog:
You’ll notice we’ve rounded and softened the edges to better align with other illustrative elements you find in our app such as badges and icons. We’ve replaced the purple ball with a green ball, as purple no longer lives in our color palette elsewhere in the app or site. Green is one of our primary colors and we wanted that represented here. We’ve also gone back to a less perfectly parallel trail of the ball (which also makes our iconic check mark) to inject a more playful feel into the icon while still maintaining our clean edges and lines.
Co-founder Dennis Crowley shared a little trivia about the logo on his own blog:
Trivia #1: original logo designer = Eric Deschamps (an old college roommate of mine). Designed back in 1999 when “dodgeball.com” was still a blog I split with my buddies Josh and Brian.
Trivia #2: Eric also designed the dodgeball logo. And when we asked him to design one for foursquare in early 2009, we told him to take the same guy, make him look 5 years older and give him asister. :)
It’ll take some time to get used to the green ball, but I really dig the incremental updates they made with the rounded edges and expanding check-mark. What do you think of the change?

I get up, and nothing gets me down.
i like to jump. and then go round and round
And I know, just how it feels.
You’ve got to roll with the punches to get to what’s real
Oh can’t you see me standing here,
I’m getting ready for a soccer scene I ain’t the worst that you’ve seen.
Oh can’t you see what I mean ?
Might as well jump. Jump !
Might as well jump.
Go ahead, jump. Jump !
Go ahead, jump.
Hey you ! Who said that ?
Baby how you been ?
You say you don’t know, you won’t know
until you begin.
Well can’t you see me standing here,
I’m getting ready for a soccer scene
I ain’t the worst that you’ve seen.
Oh can’t you see what I mean ?
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump.
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead, jump. Jump!
