This is almost certainly off-topic, but am I the only one on HN who much prefers the newer logo?

- snowwrestler 10y agoIt's a much better logo. From an aesthetic perspective the old one looked like a sign from Studio 54. It was a late-70s throwback font: cool looking, but not really the right connotation for a tech team that is supposed to be dragging the government into the present. The new font and alignment is more neutral and graphical. From a practical perspective, the new logo retains its legibility better at small sizes on screens, compared to the old logo's smaller thinner font. And making the new logo black and white reduces variants and therefore reduces cost. It's the same logo file whether you're printing 1-color, 2-color, or full-color.
