The new logo/paint is awesome, IMO. So much so, I’ll likely be repainting my 1st gen Speed Concept with a similar vibe/trek logo.
I’m not a fan. I like a logo on the downtube. I also don’t like how on the systemsix the C for Cannondale is blocked by the chainrings.
But everyone has different preferences. It does seem interesting how small the logos are on the new scheme. Seems like it would be hard to tell what bike you were looking at unless you were up close.
It’s kinda funny how things go full circle. Back in the day when Cannondale was one of the first companies in the euro pro peloton to put giant logos on every square inch of the bike, they were maligned for that. And now people are complaining that they took away the logos.

These posts hit on the aspect of this I find interesting. The logo being taken away is something that I don’t like, part aesthetically but also related to branding and the products’ ability to promote themselves or the brand. I’m just perplexed by the idea that they’d purposefully hinder the ability for their bikes to be recognizable as cannondales. From a business standpoint.
i disagree with the OP - I think the new style looks cool
.
I’m with OP. I like the EF black/purple, but wish the downtube logo was black or see through carbon.
The rest are UGLY…like they got all the hipster EF guys and their buddies together in Portland to drink micro-brews, wax their mustaches, and come up with graphic design for the new models. YUCK!
