It's from 2015, less than 10 years ago.  Yes, time flies, and the
false "modernity" sense flies with it.

We should also be different from all the rest of fashion-driven world.

There's nothing wrong with the logo, it's a little puzzle in itself,
if you want.

P.S. I agree with Philip that starting this kind of discussions from
points like this one is a bad idea.  History teaches us that doing so
quickly makes the discussion fruitless.  We should first discuss the
content, not the form and/or order of items on menus etc.
