The curious double-strike Nikon Z mirrorless logo math link

Comment on the forum

Nikon borrowed from the world of advanced mathematics for the design of the mirrorless camera badge.

A double-strike Z adorns the new Z6 and Z7 cameras, which will be officially announced in a few hours.

Sony also use a mathematical logo for the Alpha range.

Not only is Nikon determined to beat Sony in the mirrorless market, they are even employing the same logo ideas!

At the other-end of the alphabet we have a Z with a double diagonal, which means a set.

A nice in-joke at Nikon!

It's a perfect symbol for a set of cameras, which go by numbers... 6 and 7 for the first two cameras, with plenty of room under and above for differently priced models later down the line.

There is also a mathematical symbol for a set of imaginary numbers, which would be perfect for Canon's full frame mirrorless line-up.

The non-existent EOS-I anyone?!

What other mathematical logos do you think camera companies could enter the full frame mirrorless market with? Have your say on the EOSHD Forum.
