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.

One is still fresh, the other ones trashed

As was often said in my Sculpture program (and more often for other parts of human anatomy) ... 'recurring forms in nature'

I guess it has to do with the fact that everything is greyscale nowadays ... did you notice there are no more coloured cars, and the few that are there are all faded.

The cars are primarily an efficiency thing; it's more efficient to just make a few colours. The requirement for those colours to be boring _may_ be coming to an end, though; see the Renault 5. It only comes in five colours, but two of those are yellow and green. Anecdotally, pretty much every Renault 5 I see around is yellow or green, so apparently people like it.

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

i remember it's similar to one of the symbols in Vonnegut's books so not entirely original
