I logged on specifically to make this comment...then I'm outtie again.

The new logo is the WRONG hue/tint/shade of red.

It used to be R211/G0/B31 or #d3001f.

This eye-searing new one is R252/G0/B0 or #fc0000

Who the hell are they hiring these days?

FIRE THE BLIND TWITS!

Once again I am wondering what the hell has happened to the design expertise at Adobe. This is getting scary.

Don't worry Bob – they're just fixing the minor niggles.

Wait till they start on the major problems.

Who said I was an expert? I didn't. I just said you ought to be abe to set up profile.

As dumb as I am ( acoording to people on the forums here state) I am able setup another profile.

I'd like it redder but I really don't think it's so bad. At least I'm glad it seems to have settled down on the left - over enthusiastic scrolling was causing me to hit it by mistake and get chucked out to the main page

OTOH there was nothing wrong with the one before last - there really are more important things for Adobe to be putting its energies into.

They seem to have selected the one color that looks terrible on every background.

A pretty surprising design choice indeed.

I agree completely.

The odd part is that this is the inverse of the Adobe logo that is present in the Admin icons. That is much more pleasing, with a white background and red triangles. Almost like someone does not know how to use PhotoShop and hit the inverse button by mistake.
