December 18 edit
When I moused over the soccer ball and shoe icon in the search bar indicating "World Cup final coverage", I noticed that in the Games for you from the web section, each of the four tiles I saw there (Mahjong FRVR, Fish Merge, Kitten Force, and Lines FRVR) had an infinity symbol on the bottom-right corner that was colored like this:
I know the rainbow infinity symbol is associated with the autism acceptance movement (especially the portion of it that prefers to call it that instead of awareness), but I wonder if the particular symbol I'm talking about was meant to mean something else. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 11:59, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- This is apparently just the logo of FRVR, some kind of marketing-focused games company. FRVR might be a contraction of "forever" (or fervor, forgiver, frugivore, or fibrovascular). Card Zero (talk) 16:43, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
- FRVR use the slogan, "Change the Game, Forever." They have a "press kit" about their brand and its logo,[1] which mentions the colours but does not assign a symbolic significance ("Our colour palette plays a vital part in how we present ourselves. It’s what makes us feel distinctly FRVR.") The rebranding was done by BRND WGN;[2] their page also shows the old FRVR logo, a rumpled cubistic infinity symbol with a confusing jumble of eight colours, some rather drab and together not evoking the idea of a rainbow. BTW, "BRND WGN" stands for "Brand Wagon",[3] but, what with the high tax on vowels on Malta, these have been dispensed with. --Lambiam 21:05, 18 December 2022 (UTC)
