new logo looks terrible. I think current logo is better.

This is horrid, gross & ugly as sin at 1st glance, but, I'll adjust (wink). Certainly, a solid departure from any reminder of Edge or IE... although, it ever so barely looks anything like an 'e', anymore. But, ok, it's quite artsy & distinctive. And the surfing (wave) idea sure is there & the colours are appropriate, (Windows) hues of blue & green , like the ocean, too; it's nice. It is prudent & timely to have it change(d). As a new Edge logo, sure, it will do just fine

@Deleted As heir of Internet Explorer and Edge, it looks terrible and lost it's strict and definitive style, you even hardly can see e in this logo. But when you put it in play store it becomes not great, not terrible. Similar to Firefox and Opera. And I guess it was designed for this purpose.
I do think it would look better with an halo above the left upper corner, where the back of it is visible in the middle finishing the shape of the e, I made a sketch.
I also prefer a finished E logo like this.
don't mind the edges, just spent only few seconds on photoshop to make it look like a complete E shape
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.

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.
