Re: Thoughts on the logo
Eh, it's a logo. If it makes them happy, it's their aesthetic to do with as they see fit.
That being said, I preferred the old one. It was more recognizable, and reminded me of a periodic table element. It was a nice touch.
However, that's not the issue which gets me to post here. The new color branding-- designed to match the logo-- is what bothers me more than anything. The main page has been updated with the green buttons and, putting it charitably, it's a questionable decision.
Green buttons are not a way to go, no matter who owns the company. It's a question of contrast and readability, not market share and branding. I sincerely hope that the webpage updates are rolled back and in general the green is kept far from UI elements.

Best guess as to old www.onshape.com/ web page button:

@Onshape, please don't make your interface and homepage harder to use just to satisfy branding requirements.

Re: Thoughts on the logo
Yes, it looks like overcomplicated, sharp and small. Especially on small scales like for site icon in the browser tab.

The new logo is ok, not a huge fan of it though.
Alnis (and Onshape) vs The World
Hi Everyone,
@alnis_smidchens will be participating in a "speed modeling" tournament Monday at 7:00pm EST. He will go up against 7 others, and will be the only participant using Onshape. I've seen his speed modeling demonstrations, and while the field is tough, I have confidence that he will be crowned champion.
Let's all give Alnis some encouragement!

Assimilation by the BORG has begun. Resistance is futile.

Saw the new logo and immediately thought "Meh!" A definite step back from the original
