yeah i dont like the new branding...speaking as a designer, i actually prefer the current/old branding at nodejs.org

I was really glad to get an advanced look at the "new" logo. I prefer the old one so much that I've stashed a copy locally in case I ever want to get it printed on a t-shirt.

The new one is horrible! The point to point graph under the hex text. Rubbish!

I created an account to come in and comment on this. I do also really enjoy the old logo, but I suppose I can support an effort to promote node.js.

Anyway, are you in any mood to share the old logo? I like the idea of having it on a shirt or something.

Edit: Scratch that. I'm silly. They're still all over the place with a quick Google search.

I would expect a self-professed designer to know that "yeah i dont like the new branding" is just about the most useless feedback one can possibly give.

Why don't you like it? What do you think they got wrong and how would you do it better?

Fair comment, I apologise.

While alot of what influenced my opinion of the logo is pure subjectivity...

  > The angled infrastructure encourages energy to move through the letterforms

I don't feel that it encourages "energy" to move through the letterforms, and the fact that each letterform is rendered as a self contained "hex", hinders the flow of the logo-type.

Also I feel that the logo is overly styled (my subjective opinion)
