The new logo is nice, certainly cleaner and more better-looking than the old one.
However, the association for me is very much to PCB design since the lines with hollow circles look like tracks with vias or just pads for through-hole components. See, for instance, the background on KiCad's (an actual PCB design program) site: http://kicad-pcb.org/ http://kicad-pcb.org/.
This "inspiration" was visible in the first suggestion too, the one with the c-as-symbol also makes the c look like circuit board tracks. Strange.

- throwanem 10y agoYeah, I'm not sure what that's about either. It seems far too thorough to be accidental, but the association is a strange one for a command line utility. I suppose it might make sense if the logo is designed for consumption by people who don't know much about computers, but that's really not something which can accurately be said of the thing the logo is for, so...
