Re: A new Semantic Web logo?

I like neither the new logo(s) nor the policy around it, nor the way it 
just fell from the sky without consulting the SW community. Or did I 
miss something?
The blue triangle was just beginning to be a strong identifier, not to 
say the flag of the Linking Open Data movement, with clear semantics : 
click here to get RDF data.
It's used in DBpedia, it's used in Tabulator interface and so on.

I like nodes and links, and a box, even half-open, is the last thing I 
would have thought about as a symbol for the SW. Who had this silly idea?
