The Adobe CS4 Logo

This is an interesting concept of the logo developed by the Adobe team, and as you can see below, it kind of looks a bit unprofessional. I mean it doesn't look right as the logo of the Premier Design product for design and development. And apparently, I am not the only one who dislikes the logo. Aral Balkan on his blog also voices his opinions about the new logo, and so do the commentators!

Verdict

Simple! A must have for designers, because apart from the logo, I do expect the Adobe Team to deliver fantastic products.
