In addition to liking the new 3.x logo better, I found it very useful when determining if a blog post or youtube video was using a modern version by looking at the logo in the screenshot. However there were a huge number of changes going from QGIS 2 to QGIS 3 and with what has been announced so far I don't imagine that there will be the same benefit this time. Even a slight change would allow users to date the resource but that might be better done just altering the top bar of the application. Also I still like the logo.
