There's no more overflow (pun intended). The container in the old logo is what implied that it's Stack Overflow. Without it, it's just a 4 lines in a quarter circle. It's a metaphor for what they did. They took what made Stack Overflow, Stack Overflow, and now it's Stack Overflow no more.

It actually takes great competence to design a logo consisting of 4 black/white rectangles, tilted slightly. I couldn't possibly do that myself in 5 minutes using MS Word as the graphics editor. What will they come up with next, 4 rounded rectangles? Colored rectangles? Word art? The sky is the limit.

@Dharman They truly have gone from stack overflow to "everything is just falling over 🤷"
