Kojima-san himself took to Twitter to encourage the fans to imagine the full body of the character represented in the logo:
これは新しいロゴマークですが、皆さんが送ってくれているように、頭部(横顔)だけではなく、全身の設定もあります。想像してみて下さい。 pic.twitter.com/fIoQFgQZgw

“This new logo, as you have sent me, doesn’t just have a head (profile), there’s also a full body. Please, try to imagine it.”
Personally, I find quite refreshing to see the creative juices flow between Kojima Productions and its fans. Hopefully, it’ll bode well for the future.
One thing is for sure: those who loved Hideo Kojima’s past work have definitely rallied around him. We’ll never know what really happened between him and Konami, but the fans have clearly made a choice.
