Is there some connection to CarbonFive[0], the consultancy, or did they just.... um... completely duplicate their logo by accident or something? [0]https://ww

  Did CarbonFive completely duplicate the HTML5 logo by accident or something? https://www.w3.org/html/logo/ https://www.w3.org/html/logo/

    I don't think that's nearly as close to Carbon5's logo as the SiFive logo is to Carbon5's, but fair point, there's always overlap in these... when I posted that I actually couldn't see the difference between their logos and was genuinely a bit confused if they were connected, but I see a small difference at the bottom of the Pentagon now... so it seems unlikely there's an intentional connection, but was genuinely confused at first!

  Both were probably designed the same way - company name is "word five" so take the first letter and fit it into a 5 sided polygon and bam you've made each logo. SiFive's actually fits this design more even though it came out later. They don't need the added shape at the bottom and the embedded character can be seen as either "s" or "5" while the carbon 5 one needed the extra bit at the bottom and is a bit harder to see the "5".
