New MuseScore logo?

I admit I won't miss the old MuseScore logo, which looks like an elephant showering itself.

But I don't know if I can coexist with the new logo I saw on musescore.com today

Is that official? Did they inadvertently post the submission that took last place???

It looks like there's a move to unify the various Muse Group products with a similar "logo font", or iconography:

As stated in the above link provided by @graffesmusic: "A MuseScore Studio logo is on the way soon".

I did some a bit more thinking on it. Again, these concepts are rather pedestrian. Definitely rough. Less spritely and spirited, but on point with stronger on mnemonics and imagery. And aside from the first one, they render well at small sizes.

All along the way there’s the double-S for MuseScore Studio

And that leads right to StaffPad—which currently uses a curvy staff-based logo anyhow.

Just sayin’.

Well, thank you for that! If I may quote (italics mine):

" We have chosen the wordmark for its neutrality, its discreet presence and also its clear vision, purity, balance and its link with music. Also its timelessness, it is not trendy so it will likely survive longer. This can not be said of the other logos, although there are very good ones in between.
When used, it will not put a "heavy weight" on a page or other media. It will not ask too much attention, it will not cause inconvenience to other content but it will be there, working in silence ... in all its simplicity."

Well, fifteen years is a good run, even for a wet elephant:-)

LOL now I can't unseen the cute elephant anymore. But come on, why so negative? I appreciate the contrast in color between the two sites now, dot com is purple and commercial, dot org is blue and free. What more could you ask for?
