Totally it's a very solvable problem w not many variants. It's unfortunate the USB group chose these particular labels. They're so ugly that you'd never want one on a cable, and they don't reduce to small sizes well. It's like they were never designed to be put on cables, or they never consulted anyone who ever used or sold a cable as to whether they were going to use it. I'd have preferred something that could be depressed into the plastic mold of the connector with two icons, a bolt and a dot: - default (USB2, whatever min watts) is blank cable - 60w has one bolt, 100w+ has two bolts - 5gbps has one dot, 20 has two, 40 three, 80 four That way you avoid the uncleanness of labels and their eventual scratching off, while maintaining at-a-glance (and even physical feel) understanding of cable capability. It also scales to future improvements. Honestly I think this would solve like 90% of people's complaints with USB-C.
