Home Assistant joins the trend for hyper minimalism, not sure I’m a fan of it myself.

At leasts it’s still fairly recognisable.

I don't mind a little bit of simplification, as the previous logo had a lot of little granular details that arent going to be as legible at different scales, but I'm not sure I'm entirely in love with the execution here. I like that they kept the nodes offset as opposed to the previous version for smaller scale applications, but the point where the left node originates from is too close to the base of the house, putting too many corners in close proximity for them to read clearly enough as separate corners and for them to not just merge into a bit of an organic wiggle if you're not looking close enough.

I don't hate it though, and I think overall its a decent improvement in some respects. But I think the old one had more character, and was a bit better executed, even if it didn't works as well at all scales

This must be the first minimalist take in the past decade that's actually good, though. They've kept the color, and the shape is still pretty recognizable.
