I too would love to hear counter-arguments to the new logo, especially from large investors (I refuse to call them "whales", which always sounds derogatory to me) . To me, a simple cruncher, the new design was obviously an improvement, so it makes me wonder "What am I missing, that maybe turned off the larger investors? Are there angles to this new design that I hadn't considered?"

Unfortunately, I don't see any counter-arguments in the discussion thread. And a big "reject" just doesn't give me enough information to go on. I'd feel so much better with an overwhelming majority vote. But then again, nobody really owes anyone an "explanation" for their vote. It could just be they didn't like the aesthetic. I think talking about these differences openly is much better in the long run. Better to disagree in a civil manner than developing an "us versus them" mentality between the crunchers and the investors. We're all on the same team.
