It's worth while looking at the gallery on that page, showing the old logo, the first new version, and the revised new version:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikipedia/2.0#Gallery
The revised new version is substantially better than the one currently on en.wp, and in my opinion is better than the old logo now: it's a lot cleaner. The sooner this version gets onto en.wp, the better.
