I'll note here that this bears virtually no resemblence to what I said.... I said that we wanted them to promote themselves effectively, and I don't see how the new logo is any better at it than the old one. Especially since the old one already has several years of recognition behind it, and is obviously beloved by a large portion of the community.
It's like Linux turning Tux into a highly stylized penguin instead of his current cartoonish look. There would be a large uproar and no one would want to use the new logo cause they liked the old one.
I really see many teams and individuals sticking with the old logo, and I know that they're still going to use the triangle, circle, square symbology in their own stuff.
