And shrinking makes the puzzle pieces - the cornerstone of the
original winning design - ambiguous. How ambiguous? For example in a
competitor's logo, a potato shape with the
same aforementioned puzzle pieces combine optically to create the

Seriously. The classic logo clearly deliniated the puzzle pieces with
strong lines. The current appears to overemphasize the shadow in the
back of the sphere - making the "3-D" sphere look in fact flat and a
bit non-spherical /warped.
