My reaction was similar to Lynn's - the second "W" (or whatever it is) momentarily made me think of the Enron logo.

No, the logo is not overtly fascist, but it *is* cold, mechanistic and alienating. It communicates nothing of significance (good or bad) to the reader. I can't believe that's the image they want to project for the next several years.

On the plus side, at least they returned to a serif typeface for their articles. Switching to a less-readable sans-serif was the biggest mistake of their last big redesign in 1996 (and one I had thought, naively, they would quickly rectify).
