I'm no designer.. but the new logo looks horrendous. From the few design principles I do know, it appears they took all of them and did the exact opposite. If they wanted to stick with flat design, they could have easily repurposed their existing logo without beveling/lighting to achieve what would likely be a much better result.

An awful lot of flat logos and interfaces these days look like things that would have gotten you a "oh, did you, the design-challenged developer, design this? That's OK for now but we'll get a real designer on it before it goes to production" a decade or two ago. Stuff I'd be embarrassed to show anyone because they look like crap (but are within my limited design abilities!) but I guess they're fine because a "designer" did it.

OTOH it's the easiest it's been since the late 90s to make a webpage or program look "professionally designed" if you don't mind the current terrible aesthetic, so there's that.

Their old old logo was literally their old one without the bad 3D effect. Everything old is new again. Except this weird monstrosity.
