Without even judging the overall design (personally I don't mind the simplicity), why on earth do they use such inconsistent fonts? 3 different font sizes (and maybe also mismatching horizontal spacings) for 5 assorted logos??? This is insane...

You want them to be even less distinctive? Personally, I think they should lean into that more and embrace the context: e.g. sans-serif for CSS, monospace for JS, serif for HTML.

The current logos are both uninteresting and badly constructed. At least either make them consistent (less distinctive but you can appreciate them as thought out as part of a family) or wildly different (more distinctive but not as clear they’re part of a family). This middle ground is the worst of all possible options.

Old logos were more consistent yest still distinctive IMO: https://banner2.cleanpng.com/20180920/kl/kisspng-javascript-...
