I am guessing that the logo was generated from a website that mimics well-known logos. This is probably the best argument against using such a logo. I kept wondering why the creator wanted this to be associated with adult content.

Isn't it basically just the old YouTube logo? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Logo_of_YouTube_(2015-201...

The logo situation is basically an aftermath of a joke in the Chinese programmer circle: Somebody made a PornHub logo generator out of probably their own boredom, and others got "inspired" by it and say, "They, I can do that too with even crapper code", "They I can try out that Vue/React/[Insert whatever front-end buzz word here] on this quick 'side-project'".

After that, you end up with many of crappy logo generators posted on the Internet.

Few month later: "HELP!!! I'm building a new project and I needed a logo. But I don't know how to design one".

Then here you go.

Well as a sibling comment of yours pointed out, it’s basically the original YouTube logo (used for more than a decade with slight variations) which predates PornHub. I’m sure YouTube isn’t the originator either as it’s not really that creative.

That some people associate the style with adult content probably says more about themselves than the style.

The logo is in active use and that makes it confusing. I have no interest in making moral judgments of adult content or strangers who may or may not consume it. Doing so is unproductive and off-topic.

That, or it's on purpose and considered funny? FWIW I think it's quite witty.

Well at least one of the demo is NSFWish so perhaps that was intentional.

Did it get changed? I don't see any adult content related logo.

It looks like the PornHub logo, I believe that's what the GP was referring to.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Indeed there's not, apart from the slight tackiness of your logo looking like another logo. I don't see why it's more objectionable than looking like the YouTube logo, say.
