Good design doesn't need to be explained

I see that the Art Institute of Chicago has a new logo.
And while I envy the design studio that got that project, I am not a fan of the end result. It looks like a typo was made. And while I read the rationale, there seems to be a disconnect. Perhaps is the Roman U was done in a completely different type face, it would seem more deliberate. Good design doesn't need to be explained, it needs to be understood.
