just for the record: every year, the logo and thematic layout of the conference is changed. I remember Buenos Aires gave a latin sauce on it and hong kong had more an asian thing (albeit less than taiwan).
The concepts are the same, the way it's worked out differs. Nothing special here :) Some will like it, some will not.

You clearly haven’t seen the Wikivoyage logo… ;)
I think it’s cool that there was an effort to make this conference look a bit different to those before it. It is the tenth one, after all. It’ll be interesting to see if Mexico does similar.

Personally, I hated it - to the extent that I skipped getting the T-shirt and bag. It just looked completely non-Wikimedian - far too many angles rather than curves, especially with the 'framework' version...
Thanks, Mike

Yeah - the organisers had a designer in to get everything revamped for
this year. I think branding-wise he did an astonishingly good job keeping everything consistent - this includes the WikiProject leaflets, the shirts, posters, main stage slide branding, YouTube pre-rolls… just great. Kudos.

I couldn't spot the use of the official Wikimania logo in any part of
this year's event in London, from signs to booklets to social media.
As far as I know, this is the official Wikimedia foundation
copyrighted logo for Wikimania: https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikimania_logo_with_text.svg
Didn't see any bit of this logo totally anywhere whatsoever!
Any rationale behind?
The logo used (or I saw) throughout this year's event is this:
