Turns out the Bitcoin logo has a tiny design flaw

It's hardly the most famous logo around, and certainly wasn't the work of a hugely well paid design agency. The Bitcoin logo was created by a community forum member back in 2010 – so perhaps we can forgive a few design imperfections.

Nearly 13 years later, a Twitter user has shared how a slightly infuriating defect has endured on the vector files – the kind that, while tiny, would be utterly unacceptable on a big brand design. And it turns out it isn't the only issue with the Bitcoin logo. (Looking for inspiration? Check out the best logos of all time.)
