I think we're stretching the definition of "logos" here. Just sticking text in a square doesn't make it a true logo.

Think of Apple or Nike, those are real logos. The recent logos and icons, including apps like Photoshop's, seem more like we're prioritizing metrics over creativity.

This is definitely a logo, by all definitions of the word. It’s not just "text in a box", it’s:

- text, with a specific font, position, size, weight

- a specific color

- a box radius in 3 corners

- some variants

By your definition, the Coca Cola logo is not a logo because it’s "just text"

CSS gets a new logo and it uses the color `rebeccapurple`
