CSS gets a new logo and it uses the color `rebeccapurple`

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.

You prefer these?

They are certainly more colorblind and vision impairment friendly to be honest.

What is color blind unfriendly about the new logos precisely? Which variant of color blindness will not be able to read them?

Which visual impairment exactly will find it easier to parse the previous logos (which are a mess of design scarcely related to the actual technology name) than the current ones, which contain thick bold text indicating exactly what the technology is called?

Here's a good starting point: https://www.sfgov.org/designing-visually-impaired

> Do not rely on color alone to denote information

> Use additional cues or information to convey content

The old icons were certainly ugly. But they had a unique shape (cue) and didn't rely on color. The new logo has text which helps, but this is where visual impairment becomes an issue (lack of focus to read said text).

I have no intent to take away from the meaningful choices made in this logo's design. But even just picking a unique shape for each component would go a long way.
