After coming across some posts about the new logo (and now seeing it),
I'm jumping in.

This echoes my first impression.
The change in orientation and position of the E appears gratuitous to
me. Because the orientation has changed, it's impossible for the logo to
look balanced without shoving the E too far to the right.
Just pasting the old E onto the new logo, I get something that is much
less jarring.
I think just changing the background and removing the pen is enough of a
change. As another example: some time ago the "drop shadow" was removed
from the splash. Although a rather small change, I think it made the
splash look much cleaner. You don't have to change everything to update
a look.
