Those stickers are literally spaceships and puppies, how can they be used for any serious work? There is nothing more obvious than a label, a colored rectangle with text denoting its meaning, instead you get this -> ;)

Besides the fact that some of these stickers are in fact useful for "serious work" (like "big red exclamation sign"), "serious work" isn't Trello's only target audience. And it's not like they took away the labels.

It's not a fact, I happen to find that exclamation sign too silly. I used Trello for keeping track of chores around the house, and I think more than 5 or 6 labels (what's so hard about adding more fields?) would be far more useful than these tacky emoji.

I'm just not into Trello Gold, I hate gaudy things.

I completely agree. Additional (unlimited?) labels would be a serious upgrade to Trello. It's a tool to help people get shit done - which it's very good at - but adding useless features like custom emojis don't assist in the core function.
