New design: mostly fine, logo sucks
Hi,
the key to determine the associative and energetic mood that any graphic work propels is to listen to yourself during 1-st half-second while watching. My mind says that a 3-year old baby has played too much with radioactive plasticine when I look at the logo. The new version of Vanilla logo is definitely worse, since it is not at all related to the concept, and is against the major laws of graphic design.
As to the rest of the graphic part, its mostly fine, yet too microsofty/slicky/nanny looking.
Any thoughts to add?

If you look in the blog a month back you'll find the designer's notes detailing the ideas behind the new Vanilla, Garden etc. logos and design. I found it interesting and like the new logos.
I think the logo is a little ridiculous, a little sexy, and a lot flavor. I dig it.
FWIW, I think the new logo is nice, but probably not original. Haven't found the original yet (I'm not really looking either) but it just looks familiar to me. Now this could be a good thing, if it were a true original, but I get the feeling I've seen it before (on a trip to France to be exact).
its actually pretty cool
tho the implementation for the new design does feel rushed, compared to version 1, though this is probably just a recency/maturity issue in the software
for the line-breaks, maybe something like git/so-flavored markdown would be nice
I'm going to have a look.
