Comment (by marybaum):

 Changes based on feedback:

 As Mel pointed out, the vertical label WordPress 5.4 and the Blue Note
 Album notation are both more visual than lexical elements -- and you've
 got to know how much that word lexical is killing me, the copy hack and
 wannabe standup comedian, to write. But I'll get over it.

 I have always understood this top illustration as evoking piano keys, and
 in this version those keys play the music over all else.

 As a [design] squad, we're willing to let go of the album notation
 entirely if there's still heavy opposition; we do still feel pretty
 strongly about the vertical WordPress 5.4.

 In a nod toward readability, you'll notice the tag line, "Building more
 with blocks, faster and easier." is bigger. It starts directly in line
 with the Privacy nav link and extends to the natural right margin of the
 rest of the type.
