Well, everyone's already said variations on my feelings, but Imma blab a bit anyway. I wasn't surprised this was coming, but the video is...eeeh. I'm surprised that he's doing Daniel and not just Dan! Other than dinof, I think 'Dan Howell' is more well-known professionally than 'Daniel Howell', so I'm not sure why he went for that one, even if it sounds more mature or whatever (maybe it's just me, but Dan doesn't exactly sound less formal than Daniel?). I'm not really feeling his reasons for it either.
RIP all those branding with -nof tacked onto the end, new fans are going to be confused for a hot second.
The sketch at the beginning was okay, and the whole thing definitely had that good ol' Howell Condensation going for it.
for the dig at Phil, him and his pretentious #content threshold both.
Yay for changing his twitter icon and tumblr theme, at least (though the tumblr thing will take him ages if he ever actually does it...). I hope this rebrand makes him more comfortable though!
over it already
