12 years after the Bitcoin image appeared, a flaw was found in it

on November 12, 2010, bitcointalk.org member bitboy (no relation to the YouTube blogger BitBoy Crypto) posted vector files of the iconic bitcoin logo, which has gained wide recognition around the world. The enlargement of the original bitcoin logo shows a small orange line from the background turning into a white «₿».

This was first reported by Twitter user @_Bosch_, who then shared an updated bitcoin logo, removing the mark and improving the stylistic proportions. Upon further investigation, community member @skyler_fs found that one of the curves of the ₿ logo was also not smooth.

Cointelegraph’s investigation of the above claims confirmed the imperfections of the original bitcoin vectors. The image above shows two places where microscopic design issues exist.

However, this discovery does not affect the way bitcoin works, and community members have not expressed any concerns about it. Even if someone creates new vectors after fixing the flaws, they will not be generally accepted unless the community decides otherwise.
