Friend just pointed out to me that the Claude trademark represents a rectum.

I’d really like to see all the internal memos that led to this logo, and what they thought they were conveying with the design.
The cleaner interpretation is that it looks like splatter from a paintball, giving the impression of throwing crap at a wall to see what sticks.
