The EXACT same logo has already been trademarked by Valve for years.

No shit, but Valve OWNS the lambda logo with that circle and typeface.
It's literally the exact same thing when you compare it with the trademark file

No Valve trademarked Lambda. They already announced that they will trademark Sinus next year

My Dad works for Amazon. The whole Borealis plot has been cut. Half Life 3 is a time skip where Gordon Freeman has a new job ensuring fast deliveries and that he has everything from a to z in stock.

There's a difference between just using a lambda character in a logo and using the exact clone of the Half-Life logo.

It's a marketing scheme to get social media hype by selling like five TVs and a bunch of sex toys at discount.

Anybody remember the first one?

Prime Day? I've never heard of that. Isn't that just their name for Cyber Monday?

>>343857589
So you must know that the lambda have more uses than a game logo. The slenderness ratio of a beam, for instance...

The Lambda logo, in that typeface, surrounded by a circle is a graphic trademarked by valve.

>>343857451
The majority of sales happen during the holiday, they want to try and boost sales during the not holiday period by making a new """holiday""" for buying stuff during the off season.

Looks like that's what amazon is doing to me.

>copyrights
Trademarks, anon. Trademarks.

While not universal, Valve could take them to court if they can justify in court that people might be confused about the typeface, logo, and color combination being associated with Half-Life software products. It's not like this is a sports goods or food label - this is software, the domain in which Valve maintains its trademarks, so it's not too much of a stretch for it to be contested and won.
