Forgive my ignorance, but I'm curious as to why the Voron logo looks more like a "Z" than any other letter, at least to me. Anybody have any insight as to where the logo design originated?

Logo symbolism
The crow or raven motif is central to the Voron identity. While my search results do not provide a direct description or image of the logo itself, the name's origin and the consistent use of black in early printer designs suggest that the Voron logo likely features a stylized crow or raven, reflecting both the project's Russian roots and the color scheme of the initial printers.
There is credible community discussion suggesting that the Voron logo resembles the letter "Z," which is the last initial of the founder, Maks Zolin. A user on the official Voron Design forum directly states, "It's the last initial of the Voron founder Makes Zolin," in response to a question about why the logo looks like a "Z"
. This indicates that the logo's design intentionally incorporates the founder's surname initial.
However, in interviews and official histories, Maks Zolin primarily emphasizes that "Voron" is the Russian word for crow or raven and that the original printers were all black, tying the name and theme to the bird rather than to his surname
. There is no direct quote from Zolin himself in the provided sources explicitly confirming that the logo is meant to be a "Z" for his surname, but the forum post reflects a community-held understanding or possibly inside knowledge
. This symbolism aligns with the project's emphasis on sleek, reliable, and high-performance machines.
Nice article with Maks but it does not explain the logo either.

Why use ChatGPT to create an answer?
Maks already said, both on the Discord server and on video, that the logo was created for MZbot, his defunct 3d printer company, and he hired a graphic designer on a platform like Fiverr or similar for that.

Sorry for the pplx answer, I did not create it instead of my own opinion or feeling. I could not find any reference to his initial and I was generally interested. Then finding the link to a crow or raven I thought that was equally appealing. You are absolutely right I was lazy and copied what pplx confirmed to me. Won’t happen again as I will wait next time till I finished my first coffee.
