The logo that was previously used was transparent in a strange pattern and was visually disruptive.

Not sure about it, the other style is on purpose and it is an official alternate design of the logo. Actually I prefers the old one.

Thanks for this nicholas, but as sylvian said, that was the other monochrome version of the logo.

Alright, if it is intentional I guess it makes sense. However when viewing the site it seemed very out of place.

  • The negative space resembles a capital "N", which is odd since there is no "N" in "Spacemacs".
  • There are poorly aliased white pixels around the bottom of the planet which are not present in the normal logo
  • Even though it is titled "mono" There is still a gradient on the planet, and aliased white pixels, meaning it is not monochrome at all.
  • The use of transparency for the white colors means that the entire shape of the logo changes

Due to these I thought there was no way this was an intended redesign or official logo alternate.
