It takes a bit of time to get used to a change like this.

It has been haphazard up till now version to version. And the themes never feel totally cohesive.

Why have different logos for xubuntu and edubuntu etc, why the different names? Why not have Ubuntu education edition. Or Ubuntu light instead?

Perhaps they should have poured money into gnome instead. And concentrated on the logo.

Instead it looks, as other people have commented, like a bastard child of OSX and windows.

Just pay a good designer. And keep it simple.
