I really don’t like these logos that are boxes with text in the lower right. The post cites a “common design language” with other tech but this has to be the most low effort language imaginable.

I think Adobe started this trend. A box with "Ps" inside for Photoshop, "Lr" for Lightroom, etc. for all their products.

An entire generation of web designers grew up with their heads stuck in the Adobe ecosystem, so this must look like the gold standard to them.

At least Adobe made an effort to make their logos look like symbols on the periodic table.

To me these made sense, as I was able to quickly, visually distinguish PhotoShop by the “PS” letters instead of trying to decipher a 32x32 logo.
