I know, it's gotten quite silly pretty fast. Each time someone replies to me with the steem-t or steem-- way of talking, I explain to them, it is only if you are promoting and marketing your own stuff using the brand name and logo (as if it was your own or you were authorized) does it become a problem.
Prior to this new logo, people were printing steemit and the blue logo on t-shirts, mugs, posters, everywhere. You can't do that with this new green logo.
Steemit is the new Voldemort.
