I really appreciate Medium’s mission, thank you. My axe to grind today is about the new logo - it really looks like you’ve just made a CSS error and it’s the long form logo accidentally used in a square box - totally unbalanced and grating to the eye.
There’s nothing wrong with just the M. We love it, it’s right, it’s appropriate, it looks like that first block letter in a paragraph of news. It works. FWIW I thought the ellipses were just fine too!
