I have some publishing and art background and I think you're missing one 
important point: logos you just mentioned are carefully designed, and
they scale well from tiny visit cards, through screens and papers to
large billboards. It's not ,,simplicity'' what makes them good, it's
-nomen omen - clean design. The new NetBSD logo does not scale well,
just look at web page footers. 

I'm disappointed with new logo, I believed that those months of
waiting would bring a really *proffesional* result.
