This might be just me, but my first impression was the new logo felt more “aggressive”… like the bee is more confrontational by looking you straight into the eye and being ready to attack.

I think I like more the one on @UrLogicFails@beehaw.org profile banner: …with the moustache making it more cartoonish, and less “oh f*ck, a bee is trying to sting me!”.

But again, this is just my personal impression, and some possible bee fobia.
