...and this latest proposal certainly isn't either of those things.

This logo is really unpopular

Source? I've only ever seen a handful of strawman arguments that "I'm not offended by the vague resemblance to a pentagram/use of rainbow colours implying LGBTQ+ support, but somebody might be", but its fairly wide adoption suggests that most people — myself included — actually like it.

This is the first I'm hearing of any issue with it resembling a pentagram, the criticisms I've heard involve the design in general not looking professional, not scaling well, and lacking a unique palette.
