I totally agree on this.

I agree on this, too, the text in black is not good. The old logo was "one
thing", the icon and the text, but the new logo is more "just the icon", it
looks like there has just some text placed next to it which is not part of
the actual logo. Sorry, maybe it's just the feeling that I have.
However I'm not sure if the new orange is okay for the next. Maybe try what
Snorri proposed (orange+grey for the text)?
