Stop it, no one cares...making it look like something recognizable to the masses is the idea. No one cares about it looking like a real proton or electron.

What's wrong with a soft poke to the icon? It's all fun discourse if you are geeky enough. I did find their comment amusingly nitpicky and enjoyed it.

Thanks. 😀
I know that most probably don't care, but I kind of do. Not in a big way, but enough that it irks me a bit.
I'm guessing there are others with a slight streak of introvert autism OCD that feel the same way, or at least find it funny that they'd make such an erroneous logo. 😋
That said, of course I'm all for Proton getting a logo, even if it's a tad stupid.

Stop it, no one cares

On a post about the logo, I should stop commenting on the logo! Is that what you are saying? Really?
Apparently someone cares, you wrote your trash comment, that's caring too. And some upvoted my post, probably either because they found it funny, amusing, interesting or even informing.
I'm guessing your intellectual curiosity is at the low end, for sure your tolerance is.
I don't see why there shouldn't be room for an observation regarding the logo design???

Because it's a pendantic and contrarian remark that makes you look like some kind of self-indulgent prick. The fact that you can't just say "you're stupid" and had to make sure you sound intellectually superior just reaffirms my observation.

Who is or isn't intellectually superior isn't the issue here. You may find my comment pedantic, which you are entitled to.
But what do you think entitles you to ask/demand me to stop commenting my observation? When it regards the subject matter, and was all polite and only described a couple technicalities?
How do you claim to know nobody cares, and talk on their behalf, on a post that was already upvoted when you commented?
Seems to me that you are the one who has a sense of entitlement and is pedantic and a prick here.

I wrote earlier. "I’m guessing your intellectual curiosity is at the low end, for sure your tolerance is."
Seems I was spot on.
