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.

Simplicity is fine! Minimal effort is fine! But these are poorly executed. The article says the logo follows "the design language of the logos of other web technologies," but there is no design language.

The text in in random sizes and different fonts for no reason. The shapes are not all the same or all different; they are just randomly different.

It's not that any one logo looks bad; they look awful because they are _incoherent_.
