Dumb logo

Am I the only one that thinks Google's new logo looks stupid?  It's like a dumbed-down crayon exercise for kindergartners.  Now, I'm not a typographical elitist that spends weeks debating the nuances of Helvetica, but for crying out loud why would you abandon an iconic and visually appealing "g" for that atrocity?  ...and don't even get me started on the "e" -- it reminds me of Internet Explorer, ughh!
