Oh wow. That’s incredibly similar.
The Edge logo looks like an "e", not a fox hugging a globe.
The new logo looks good in my opinion. It has earth tones, looks like an "e", has some edges.
I have a bunch of icons in my dock and the only two that look similar are browsers. (I hacked up a copy of the Edge logo from the article and slapped it on a applescript to put it in my dock)
