Some observations of the new logo candidate.
It is too similar to the Quark logo.
http://www.qrk.cc/quarkbrand/It also resembles the triskelion logo of Ripple.
https://dev.ripple.com/img/ripple-triskelion.pngtris·kel·i·on [trih-skel-ee-on] noun, a symbolic figure consisting of three legs, arms, or branches radiating from a common center.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/TriskelionThe new logo explanation says: "Decentralization of NEM is represented by 3 lines coming from the centre."
By using the word centre, it implies centralized. Ideally a logo that represents decentralization will not have a center.

The 3 radial lines represents the centralized characteristics of a star network (hub-and-spoke).
Another sentence in the new logo explanation says: "Imagine this is a fan, it can spin...".
A spinning fan is another circular reference and demonstrates this centralized nature.
The new logo is "flat" compared to the 3d appearance of the cube, especially at the size of a 16x16 pixel icon.


The cube represents the decentralized and distributed characteristics of a mesh network (peer-to-peer).

I will not re-quote my previous post, but if you are curious why I believe the cube is better at representing NEM, read this:

My vote will be for Loi's cube design.
