I agree, tree-munch was cute and fun. I wish he were back in some capacity

I apologize for the language, but one of my co-workers said that the new logo looks like a penis (the diagonal branch) with a dangling scrotum (the vertical branch) to him. The circles on the end are the glans and the testes. Unfortunately, I do now see what he is saying.

This is yet another incident in a long line of easily-misinterpreted open source project logos or names. MongoDB is one of the most significant, with "mongo" being slang for mental retardation in several languages. The scrotwm window manager, while quite excellent, also has a name that's easily misinterpreted.

Git itself has one of those names. Personally I think anyone who is offended by those names can go use something else.

Only in case of Git it is intentional. This is how its creator jokingly describes himself.

it's a blob committed to munching trees. :-)

I'm not sure which one you mean, but the new logo looks great and it visualizes the concept of branches quite effectively.

The old git-scm.com had this as its header:

https://github.com/github/gitscm/raw/master/public/images/he...

It was one of the first things that comes to my mind when I think about cute looking site :).
