    It is already difficult for a lot of users to understand the difference between main meta and SO meta, using the same logo on both sites must be very confusion for casual users. Commented Feb 18 at 16:45

    @samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz it's probably going away anyway, some time after all community based curation is removed, eliminating most purposes of per-site meta existing. Commented Feb 18 at 16:45

    Hate to say it, but with the different font it now looks like "STOCK OVERFLOW". Commented Feb 18 at 16:49

    IMO, there's no reason to push this corporate design. “When someone lands on one of our sites for the first time, do they understand what they're looking at?” In my experience, yes. When I first joined, I immediately understood the interface of the site. In fact, this makes it even harder for new users that join. Realize how the themed sites used to say "Stack Exchange" in the top left corner to indicate that it is, in fact, not stackoverflow? With that gone, new users have one less method to differentiate both sites. Commented Feb 18 at 17:23

    Logo redesigns are the corporate equivalent of rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Y'all should have taken the money spent, and spent it on actually promoting the sites out in the real world. Commented Feb 18 at 18:36

    The history is nice, but can you put the new logo in the post too? Commented Feb 18 at 19:33

    the new logo is in the post, it's just too small to see without opening the image in a new tab. Commented Feb 18 at 19:45

    2009 SE Logo is awesome! Never seen that because I'm relatively new to SE. Commented Feb 20 at 9:47

    I don't like putting down other peoples work, but this is tagged with discussion, sooo: The typography of that new logo just looks like the name of the company has been written out in a text editor and screenshot, it's just extremely generic text with no personality whatsoever.

    How much money did Stack Exchange spend on this task? How much more is allocated to be spent? Commented Feb 23 at 3:30

    I didn't see this mentioned anywhere so I'll just add that the favicon looks like shit Commented Feb 24 at 18:40

    What a waste of time. Just revert it, the previous design was great. Commented Feb 24 at 19:21

    Switching to monochrome is certainly one of the choices of all time. Commented Feb 24 at 20:28

    Somebody at SE has a fetish for bland, generic, instantly forgettable monochrome design, we get it. Commented Feb 25 at 15:09
