In my own opinion, I am not liking the new design. First it looks too similar to the older one but less stylish. The colors also look awful. Is somebody getting payed for this or is it a community effort? Either or, I think this logo sucks.
I would recomment funding a project to create the typography from scratch, and GPL it. You can do that with software available You can do that with FontForge (http://fontforge.sourceforge.net/) or GFE (Gnu Font editor). Please, this roundy edges fonts really doesn't look that appealing.
