First of all, thanks again for the awesome work! The new version with the 4 colors looks great!!! I wouldn't be worried about, that the new logo looks like the windows logo / google logo / or any other logo. The flex logo has a completely different shape and the colors are a little bit different (because of the shadows).
+4 for the 4 colored version +1 for the orange version (because the contrast to the dark blue color of the font works perfect) Thanks!
