A better use of space I must say. The red on top makes it it more striking. Going to take some getting used to though.
After looking at it on my computer vs my phone, I think my biggest complaint is that the lines inside the pinwheel don't end. Like it's a bunch of mazes that connect. make each segment an individual one, and it looks a lot better. If you watch the animated gif, it's the last animated change before the final. If they stopped one before that, it's really nice. Also, the new one looks skinnier and sleeker than the 2017 version. Like, the 2017 version lost some weight.
I like that the pieces are tied together...I look at the red and white as offense and defense...the new border gives it more of a team look than individual look..I like it...just glad they kept the pinwheel.
I really like the update. There was some real thought, if not in the design process, at least in the explanation. I was at a BBQ last night with several other fans and showed them the new logo, most couldn't even tell the difference until the changes were pointed out.
We also need some bad-ass flames coming off each side and maybe a screaming skull at the center of the pinwheel.
