Wow, I was prepared to mock it after seeing that w3.org actually had to design something, but it's rather good.
Think about its purpose; it needs to work with a huge range of styles, each of which will have specific and varied audiences.
The choices made (collegiate typeface / bright orange) are quite bold; I don't think it lends itself to sympathetically supporting a broad range of differing styles of design.
Also, when this is used, it's likely to be quite small - the gap between the tail of the '5' and its upper curve is slight. I think it will have a tendency to resemble a '6' at smaller resolutions.
Maybe I'm being too negative, but on top of all this I don't think it looks visually appealing or balanced. I don't think the proportions (forced perspective / surrounding gap vs. typeface weight) are pleasing to look at.
But then again, maybe once we see it everywhere, it's ubiquity will create new associations and familiarity will win out.
Is that how HTMTL5 websites are supposed to look like? With the cluttered layout, the various fonts and sizes, the flashy colours and the interactive content I find this page incredibly difficult to parse. It's hard for me to extract the important informations from the text. Is it really about the new logo? What's the deal with the "HTML5 semantics" on the middle? I know nothing of web development, so I have no idea…
The class semantics section appears to be related to the other logos that the w3 has created for them. Personally, I think its extraneous information. If you came away with knowledge of what the logo looks like (and you should since it took up fully 2/3rds of the first page), then you're set. As for the rest of your criticism: > I know nothing of web development, so I have no idea what this means. Although HTML origi…
EDIT: I stand by my point regarding the layout though. I think a website promoting HTML5 should try to keep it clear. Trying to mix an informative content with an HTML5 demo page might not be the best idea.

Because it's cool, and we can. Haters gonna hate.
but what does it mean? No user will know/care. I guess it's just like putting a badge on your website that says your site passes some html verification test.
Anyone know who made it?

HTML5 logo ~= Autobot Logo http://t.co/p8lQ9xp
Looks like a stretch to me...
Tsk.

Someone realized this. If you look at the favicon, they've dropped the tail.
