Well, except all the legacy symbols on devices older than current gen.

The USB-C standard and particularly the USB PD (power delivery) is so complex it almost feels comical.
The PD standard document (freely available on usb.org) is over 800 pages long and features a lengthy part about the role of the cable alone which is mostly hidden from the user. Here's a short video about this issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bZ0y9G-4Pc

My laptop has two USBC ports. No logos of any kind. They are Thunderbolt 4. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Every device I have just has a couple of blue ones and a couple of black ones, perhaps some orange ones and some USB-C ports, and good luck figuring out what they all can do. No symbols anywhere.
I believe yellow or orange ports always deliver charging power regardless of device's power state.

Came here disappointed to see no one said anything about Black D inside white P
Edit: yes, I have the humour of a 16 yo
It's the other way around 😘
Every computer store should have a poster about this.
No symbol for power-only ports?
These are found almost exclusively on PC/laptops/tablets. Which I've never seen a power port only on.
That meme sucked
Thank God there's a standard for USB. And another one. And another one. And another one. And another one. And another one. And another one. And another one. And another one. And another one. And another one. And another one....

Thanks for succinctly explaining what thunderbolt is
Those will legally do pretty much anything depending on what cable you use anyway. (and what cable you end up using is pretty much a surprise until you've tested it.)
All thanks to USB making our lives more simple. (yay)
Ok, I suppose it is more simple in quite a few ways.
