AMD Trademarks Updated Radeon Vega Logos - Now With More 3D for Radeon Pro WX 9100
AMD has filed a trademark for an updated design on their Vega logo. The original Vega logo was made out of two full triangles, arranged in such a way as to form the letter "V". The updated trademark has since made an appearance on AMD's professional line of graphics cards, in the form of packaging for the Radeon Pro WX 9100 - likely an effort from AMD to further separate its professional and consumer graphics.
The new logo is the old being revisited, with the same prismatic arrangement, but with added detailing for a 3D effect, which makes sense in the 3D rendering world that AMD's professional graphics cards are used in. Perhaps this AMD investment in updating the branding means a refresh could be coming for its professional graphics card market that still uses the Vega architecture, though this is mere speculation at this point.

:ohwell:
Besides, Vega reminds me of the Chevy Vega...
"The car became widely known for a range of problems related to its engineering, reliability, safety, propensity to rust, and engine durability."
Side note: I kinda sorta owned a Monza wagon(based on the Vega) when I was a young teen. My parents gave it to me and said if I could get it running I could keep it. Which never happened.
