I don't see it at all, in the logo or in the grid. Am I the only one?

No, I think we are the (silent) majority. Otherwise it wouldn't have passed design and approval phases. However, it does look generic and forgettable. This is one of those cases when you think "well, I could have done this job myself". And I'm not even a designer.

I don't see it either. Perhaps some people are seeing it as a swastika due to the nazi moral panic we have been experiencing over the past couple years? It's not unreasonable for a human to make that kind of correlation when there are bombarded by stories of nazi resurgence on a frequent basis.

  I think that's probably a little dramatic. To me, subjectively of course, it's clear as day. It's the first thing I saw. I think it's funny. It's just pattern recognition - it doesn't have to be a chance to commit a psychological critique of people you ideologically disagree with.

Calling the swastika "made of dicks" is kind of dubious, it'd be more accurate to say that it's made from the space between the "dicks". Even then, I don't see anything I'd identify as dicks. It's clear that the black in the second image looks like a swastika, and with your mind's pattern matcher thus primed you can see it in several of the ones in the grid as well (but far from all). edit: This, found elsewhere, makes the swastika clearer: https://i.imgur.com/MIg6FpN.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MIg6FpN.jpg.

  Tilt your head, the smaller bits look like testicles and the longer one is the dong. But it could be just me.

    With that explanation it became clear, so... thanks? Probably wouldn't have seen it without the explanation though.

      I don't know I kinda saw it straight away, but didn't really see/care about the swastika, the logo is just kinda bad because it doesn't seem to convey any message at least to me.

No. This is all people that want to complain about something clutching at straws. It's a perfectly fine (if a little generic) logo. Better than the old one.
