Discussion on: What do you think of the new Go logo?

No a fan. It does not indicate that Go is a programming language. It only indicates that Go is fast; it kind of beats you over the head with it. It's like the whole design spec was "wooosh, but minimalist"

I'll never be able to look at this and not just think of my prior ISP: Wave G waveg.wavebroadband.com

Fair point. On the other hand, I've never written a single line of Go, but what I know about it is that it's fast. It powers my static site generator of choice, Hugo, and I swear that thing breaks warp speed. So a "this is a thing that is fast" logo is pretty on-brand.
