It was just SO much more funny. My nieces and nephews still love it, but I no longer send it to my workmates - being animators, it's just not as good anymore. :-( Sorry guys I am happy that monkemail is so popular – but I really really miss the old design and site.

I sort of feel like my awesome co-worker has left me behind and his replacement just isn't the same. The jokes, the one-liners, they're the same, but the delivery (no Chuck Norris stare?!)just doesn't make me chuckle out loud anymore. I'm not afraid change, not really...cause, hey, I really like the other new stuff. Ah, well, c'est la vie...

Small. Discreet. Funny monkey giving you the Chuck Norris death match stare.Do you plan to adapt the new ape to that template? Pretty please?

Do you plan to adapt the new ape to that template? Pretty please?

We wanted to give the chimp a more modern, richer, updated look. We also wanted to reflect MailChimp's increasing power and sophistication. But we didn't want to go "all corporate." We're working on an updated website now, and we think that you'll like the way the new logo integrates when you see the "full picture." We promise to never use digital technology for evil. No jar-jars, ever. Hi Mari, thanks for the input. We wanted to give the chimp a more modern, richer, updated look. We also wanted to reflect MailChimp’s increasing power and sophistication.

Like the rest of the website's new look, but this change reminds me of the flashier, fakier "updated" Star Wars movies. Animatronics were way more loveable than these newfandangled digital versions. I'm all for technology, but simple is sometimes just more endearing. :) I really, really miss the old monkey!

So you might consider his lack of eye contact as a sign of affection.

I prefer primates to look me in the eye when we talk, and MailChimp always has something to say! Christine makes a good point.
