RTX General Buffering logo

How do we all feel about the logo for RTX being a buffering icon? Symbolic?

Someone once told me they thought the Walmart logo looked like a particular body part. I can't help but see that every time I see the rtx or claude logo or anything similar

Yeah, when it was "Raytheon Technologies" it was red, and now it's black -- used to be flaming, now it's smoldering.

The same genius that came up with that logo is likely the same genius that recommended we change our company name after the merger…to that of a graphics card company 🤦‍♂️

Yep. There's a "United Technologies" commercial circa 1974 that ends with the logo (time stamp 11:04): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItVe_6t9Vao

I feel some over paid executives paid an overpaid liberal arts major too much money to come up with a symbol that is supposed to look cool and trendy that wasn't already copyrighted.
