I really don’t like these logos that are boxes with text in the lower right. The post cites a “common design language” with other tech but this has to be the most low effort language imaginable.

They could've added some character by letting the text overflow the box :)

That's been the unofficial "logo for CSS" for years: https://i0.wp.com/css-tricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/...

It appears this option was discussed: https://github.com/CSS-Next/css-next/issues/105#issuecomment...

The overlapping CSS suggestions had the most thumbs up, but did not seem to make it into the candidates.

They use the words vote and community, but actually taking them seriously means accepting the Boaty McBooatface when it happens.

I liked the offset logos because they served just as well as logos and were a good humoured nod towards CSS issues that it would be worthwhile keeping in mind for a bit of humility.
