I always thought it looked like slack as well. probably because of the colors. But then again, all Monday seems to do is take ideas from smaller companies. Look at Timelinr. Monday copied their UI and everything.

Not to disparge Timlinr, but it's not like either tool was the first project management tool on the block. Everyone and their pet budge has had a crack at a project management tool.

I mostly contract and it's not uncommon to see an agency dogfooding their own project management app that they hope to sell as a SaaS.

I used to see their advert come up in certain places and I actually clicked through once to check the footer if they were owned by Slack. Loading the page didn't help because as it's in the similar market sector.

I think it looks even closer to ClickUp, which is in the same product category too: https://clickup.com/

The typeface is similar, but the ClickUp chevron logo has sharp edges and a gradient fill. Both Slack and Monday.com use solid, primary-ish colors and rounded "pill" rectangles.
