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.

I once saw an interview with an apparently well-known logo designer, who said something to the effect of: "When somebody sees my work and says 'that's nothing, anybody could make that', that means they instantly got the logo, understood its structure, with no distraction. That's what it's meant to do, so to me it's a compliment."

Whether that applies here is naturally subjective, but hearing that changed how I look at logo designs a bit.

I could listen to logo designers talk all day long, you pick up some many nuggets of wisdom. I've watched pretty much everything Aaron Draplin has online that you can access for free.
