“We decided to retain our signature triangle logo, although we have simplified it.”

Is this satire? Can’t tell.

Same with this:

> Vercel strongly connects to the words versatile, accelerate, and excel.

It also "strongly connects" to the words "vermin" and "decelerate".

Also, "verizon" and "incel".

It sounds like a new car name. 2020 Toyota Vercel. Wasn't there a model called the Tercel?

Also "vermicelli" (even closer in sound to "вермишель" in Russian) :P

They removed the gradient present on the full logo (which you sometimes see).

It's not. It was previously considered signature because it was a prism with a gleam on one corner. Post-simplification, I would still consider it signature, but definitely not unique.
