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

I'm getting used to the new edge logo. it's not bad at all. and I also understand Microsoft's marketing strategies.
whatever, Chromium Edge has solved the white flashing issue. that's why I'll keep using Chromium Edge even if logo is more terrible.
I believe Microsoft improve logo in the future.

However, I'm also afraid the new Edge will replace the old Edge, it was the only browser which didn't had the 'Div that looks different on every browser'-bug and had exclusive features, Chrome couldn't compare to. that's why they either have to add it to Internet Explorer mode, or launch it as additional Windows feature, or it'll make a lot of users very angry including me. Besides, it had Aero, who wouldn't want that? However, it has lack of features new Edge does have, for example, when u zoom new Edge shows what your zoom level is while zooming. I do indeed think that icon looks to small. They should also have large tiles, like UWP apps.
Aero is awesome. the transparency/blurry effect on the UI is unique really
Google chrome has thousands of themes but none of them offer that.
we know that january 15th is the stable release date but that's far from "stable and full featured"
there are news like
that aren't so good
"OEMs will receive the new Edge as soon as it is ready as well so that it may be integrated directly into new Windows installations."

Anybody remember Microsoft's experimental browser for Windows Mobile, called Deepfish?
Now THAT was a stylized E. :D

@ChromeRefugee Just read wikipedia and found out the logo is ten times better than the Deepfish browser itself. Like who the hell needs Javascript . I'm sure it has it's benefits though. It looks cool.

My two cents
I don't like the new logo, not for the logo itself but taking a step back and looking at the theme of Windows 10 as a whole, and how the new logo just does not fit at all with the rest of it's line up regardless of how closely it can be made to look like an 'e'. I think the current basic theme of Windows 10 stands out as clean and unassuming, like the difference between looking at one of those color changing car paint jobs that was a fun and cool paint technology yet it typically looked like an ugly purple, and a matte black paint job with white racing stripes. Simple with a little flair but just enough instead of trying too hard to get your attention. Windows 10 theme is simple, but in it's simplicity it stands out against the competition because everyone is trying to do the same **bleep** thing.
If we MUST accept this new style of logo that just does not fit with the Windows 10 theme, then I also would strongly support the change that Tom above made, as many of the rest of you have, but only as an auxiliary vote to reverting to the style that really works.

@WLStudios I don't agree with you, because the purpose of this browser is multi-platform, so it's design doesn't need to be exclusive to Windows 10. Also it is not that different from the old Edge logo if you look at the Blue. I am more concerned about the Dark Theme being implemented by the Edge Insider pages and the Store. Adding Dark Theme to Bing would also make a difference in attracting audience to this Browser just like adding an invitation to Bing to open it in this browser like "Internet Explorer is trying to open a UWP App". That would be way more useful feedback than trying to change an icon that already does the job and isn't that, with a pinch of salt, far away from the modern GUI Icon style.

@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!

What I'm getting:
Your opinion doesn't matter on a forum that was designed specifically for obtaining your opinion.
Please. Save your breath.

@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!
