That's not their real new logo. They are doing "30 days of change", where they use a different logo each day, leading up to the real on one on Sept 5. The OP is the day 24 logo.

I'm pretty sure that this is just temporary as it's part of Yahoo's Thirty Days of Change (http://www.yahoo.com/dailylogo).

Better than the current one, but not really that great? It feels like they're riffing on the new iOS 7 style but not quite pulling it off...

Dear lord. Just pick one. Stop. Stop.

I first read it as 'ACHOO!'

Way better than the current one IMO.

Yah-Do?
