I agree the hood for the 35mm f/1.4 isn't as nice as the square hoods available for the 23 f/1.4 and 16 f/1.4 lenses. For this reason, I picked up an aftermarket lens hood that is nearly as nice and allows the use of a lens cap instead of the rubber lens hood cover.

Looks good. Is it effective?

I haven't challenged it in any harsh lighting situations, but seems effective as the original hood, but with with better build quality with allowance for the lens cap. I prefer it.
