It does make for a cool modern medic cross though
Not going to lie, when I first saw the logo scrolling down, I also thought it was for playstation.
Funny enough, Sony came up with that shape because Nintendo patented the standard cross shape until 2005.
Seems kinda petty, no?
No, not petty. With IP, if you don’t defend it, you can lose it.
Like when Sony didn’t defend their IP against Blue Force Gear and subsequently lost it
