But there are crappy expensive cables, expensive cables that aren't better than cheap ones, and great cheap ones. What I'd like is a mark for servicable USB-C cables so everyone can just compete on price on that. These logos kind of solve that, but personally I'd like the threshold only being the combined certification. But at least most people can just filter on one logo and compare on that, even if they don't understand exactly what each logo entails.

> But at least most people can just filter on one logo I doubt many people ever look at the logo. For ordinary people it's just USB and "this is a shitty cabble" if it doesn't work as they expect, geeks will look for a specs table on the page/box. The intention is obviously good and sort of addresses the problem but nowadays (even with Micro-B, not just C) I don't feel like I can trust any logo really. I have to read the specs, the comments, consider the brand reputation and buy the best cable I can find (which is a game of luck anyway) to minimize the chance it will surprise me unpleasantly.
