Don’t really care about it too much. They wanted to change it, they changed it.
It might’ve been just a tad better (eg. this headset looks kinda out of place), but it’s good nonetheless.
BTW, minimalistic != modern/timeless/beautiful. Many minimalistic logos are nice, but some are somewhat uh-uh, like current M$/Windows one. Old one was aesthetically 10/10. Current one is just 4 squares and a basic Arial font or other sans-serif one.
A big no-no.
And one more example - Sony. Their logo is the same as it was since beginning. It’s just perfect and it’s not minimalistic at all. And it’s truly timeless.
