Ugly? That doesn't even begin to describe it. It has not one single element of interest. I've not seen a more conventional logo from such a prominent figure in the technology industry. There's no excuse for such poor design. A two-year-old with little to no knowledge of Adobe Photoshop CS1 could have done this.
In the blog post that exhibited this new Metro rubbish, the author concluded with the words "We hope you enjoy our new logo." I wonder if he even took a glance at the logo.
And what are other saying about it? Well:
