Reminds me of the OS X logo honestly. Maybe apple has a leg to stand on in terms of trademark? Though I find that highly doubtful due to it being a letter of the alphabet.
- simplicio 3y agoThink the x.org foundation has the better claim, since they pronounce the name the same way (think OS X is "OS ten", from what I recall), and their logo is closer.
- bleepblop 3y agoUnderstandably and I concur. However, I haven't met anyone outside of the apple company that would pronounce it OS 10. That being said, they don't even use the nomenclature anymore.
- vmladenov 3y agoI came over to Snow Leopard from Windows and always thought OS X til I heard it at a WWDC. Later, I met professors that had used OS 9, System 7, etc. and they always said OS 10 consistently.
- whywhywhywhy 3y agoOS X was never an X it was a roman numeral 10 and when used on its own it was mostly serif. Pretty sure apples own presentations used “OS Ten” not “OS Ecks”
- foooorsyth 3y agoBut users definitely said “OS Ecks” and “iPhone Ecks”. Using X to represent 10 is a branding disaster. Doesn’t matter if you get it straight in your keynote that only nerds watch.
