Claude is the only one that looks like an asshole. The rest are just circular, or not even that. Does every circle in the world look like an asshole? Car wheels? Pizzas? Camera Lenses? Ferris wheels? This is like a Rorschach test.

OpenAI is more... open. Maybe that's what they wanted to communicate.

One man's trash...

And if I had to choose, I would say that the Claude logo is probably the most distinct / imaginative out of the ones listed.

Claude is the worst offender

GPT is kinda Celtic

None of the Chinese labs have this buttholeness

Yes, a lot of commenters here (and the author) outing themselves.

I didn’t realize Claude owned half of the companies.

> Ferris wheels?

Yes because the spokes are the lines that go to the center

> Camera [apertures]?

100% - they even "wink"

> Does every circle in the world look like an asshole?

Well every asshole is circular and every person has an asshole so we are biased toward seeing them everywhere. Any prominently placed circle will always trigger an evolutionary reaction. Do I:

A) Sniff it

B) Hump it

C) Bite it

D) Vibe code slop with it?

Why do you think so many squares work in tech? It's because they don't hire assholes (circles)

It's less about how most of them look like different stages of fisting party, and more about the fact that they have zero distinctive elements. Despite the amount of ads being shoved down my asshole, I still find it difficult to recognize different brands. Meta and Gemini being the worst offenders, if you show me these two logos in a week and ask what they are, I'd have zero clue they're even company logos. This is the level of failure we're talking about.

I think this is peak millennialism because the design is supposed to be as inoffensive as possible and therefore shows absolutely nothing.

Great... now every time I look at a fresh pizza in the delivery box, cross-cut into 8 slices, I will think of Vonnegut's drawing and buttholes. Thanks a lot, SkyMarshal, for putting this association in my head!!
