Because it’s a brand logo, you either use it everywhere the same, or you just don’t use it. It’s called Corporate identity! 
And btw. this isn’t a choice for you as a user to make. If every change would be asked and discussed and voted and some are against it - that simply doesn’t work for such a big project. I’m with you regarding the communication about such changes, but that’s all.
Let me just ask a question: do you really think, that anybody outside of the dev team has a say in this? Look at this thread. This is the 83rd post, even if I don’t count that some do double or tripple posts, that would be 83 out of 250000 installations => that’s 0,03% of users…
I honestly think, you’re overrating this. The majority will just take the new logo for what it is: a new logo - period.
