Art and design is subjective. Unlike the NFL which is judged only on wins or losses (black and white)...
Design is only as good as the person who is viewing it and what they think of it, period.
What's that saying of you can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time?
Yup. Welcome to graphic design.

There are some universal aspects of design, such as balance for one, that are aesthetically pleasing in certain proportions.
This phenomenon can be illustrated musically - hum 2 consecutive notes in a pentatonic scale and most people can identify the third without hearing it simply because it "fits".
Similarly when you are balancing graphic elements, there are pleasing arrangements that just "fit". The rule of odd numbers in photography is an example. In print layout, the inverse pyramid - reflected in journalistic writing style and reinforced with page layout - is pleasing while the "chimney" of splitting a page vertically from the top to bottom is discordant.
I don't find harmony in the current layout - and that may be the intent, so I am not saying it's right or wrong; just that I don't find it harmonious. The mass on the left is not balanced on the right, there is an odd tangent between the base of the 2 and the grey bar, and given that the base of the 2 is the same height as the green box to its immediate right, the 2 doesn't have sufficient vertical separation to establish its own alignment so appears out of horizontal alignment with the green box. The negative space below the logo is inconsistent with the space below the green box, and the space between the circle on top is different to the space on the bottom.
All may be design choices, but perhaps not ones I would agree with from a classical design perspective.

Whatever. Life goes on.
