is this new logo for edge chromium?
Update (11/4):
Trade media articles suggest (as others in this thread have also suggested) that the design evokes surf -- ocean colors, wave shape, and so on -- and if that was the intent, the design does a very good job in that respect while maintaining a hint of "e".
Whatever was intended, the new logo is and will be the Edge logo going forward. It works well in many dimensions, and that is the defining characteristic of a good logo.
Original Comment (11/3):
My guess is that the meld between "c" and "e" is intentional, and tied into Microsoft's marketing plan.
I think that it is well done, even if my first nanosecond reaction was "a blue and green garden slug". It took me a second or two to see the logo for what it is, and it is a clever meld. I think that the logo conveys the Edge-Chromium message with panache.
But if you are concerned that the logo looks too much like a "c" rather than a "e", all that has to be done to correct that is to extend the middle loop a bit further. That would nudge it in the direction of an "e" while keeping the meld intact.
Our 0.1% collection of users provides statistical representation of the user population, the population that bothers to make the effort to provide their opinions and ideas on the platform made for that exact purpose. When an organization conducts a statistical survey about America's favorite icecream, asking all three hundred million American's about their favorite icecream is an exorbitantly insurmountable task, which is why they take a survey of 100 randomly selected Americans as a sample for the rest of the population.
In a statistical study, the opinion of this .1% is the best representation Microsoft has of the other 99.9%.
So, what truly is YOUR purpose here?
they never asked for opinion to change the logo.
they do want to know about features, problems, erros, hangs etc, but not the logo.
- This thread was created by the OP to discuss the logo and if Microsoft really had a problem with me sharing the same opinion as the OP by the way with a few more supporting details as to WHY the new logo aught not be the new logo, then quite certainly they've had and would have to power to simply remove it from there forum.
Therefor making your efforts to present to me the futility of my bothering to state my opinion utterly futile and useless bickering. I mean what the hell were you doing not 10 posts before mine but sharing your own opinion about the logo, on both sides, saying you liked it, and then you didn't like it, and now you're bashing me because I say that I don't like it and why specifically I do not like it. Who the hell do you think you are to try and tell me I shouldn't bother to do the very thing you have already done and now changed your stance on twice? You've got the T-shirt, but now you don't want anyone else to have the T-shirt so you just burn all the other T-shirts?
Post your opinion, which you have had the opportunity to do, and no one tried to shut you down, so why can you not show me the same degree of dignity?

I neither meant nor said none of the things you mentioned.
WLStudios Your opinion matters and I really like that you are standing up when you feel like your experience differs from the others. Keep in mind we are all humans and I also like to invite you to not let yourself be told as well as not to tell others differently than that your opinion matters. Microsoft probably wants us all to keep an eye out for points of feedback and this forum is a part of that. I'll back off now to not interrupt the experience and like to say to everyone, we are here to be a useful supportive community, not the opposite. I hope y'all have a nice day!
What does an opinion look like?
I like this or I don't like this.
This is why I like or don't like this.
What does the response to an opinion look like?
I agree or I don't agree with you on this subject
This is why I agree or don't agree with you on this subject
What I'm getting:
Your opinion doesn't matter on a forum that was designed specifically for obtaining your opinion.
Please. Save your breath.
- I never said don't say your opinion, I don't know why you are twisting my words and misunderstanding me.
HotCakeX I agree that they aren't planning to change, but we are allowed to communicate with each other about the spiritual meaning of the logo. I do not see a reason an amount of opinions would be necessary to change Microsoft's opinion, since we are just talking about it. Microsoft wouldn't mind us giving feedback about the logo in this forum, so stating that they didn't ask for this is incorrect, Microsoft wants us to give good feedback and the best way to give good feedback is by learning from your less qualitative feedback, except it wasn't feedback, it was just an intend to get a conversation going on and isn't that where a community is for? Thank you both for your useful comments!

I know, I was just trying to say that thinking they will listen to us and change their logo, again, is a waste of time..
because like i said they didn't ask for our opinion to choose a logo. how is that incorrect?go ahead show me a post where developers explicitly asked us to help them choose their logo. because I can't find one.
