Tiny design detail: nested border radii look really funky if they're the same. To maintain the same curvature, the outer radius = inner radius + padding.

We always mimc each other. Aren’t the previous version the same? If you look at Revolute, Airbnb, Spotify. It’s not homogenization of tech logos. It’s homogenization of homogeneity.
