Exactly, but my point is does a protocol need a logo? Nostr can be many things and each client/service can have their own logo. As for people not knowing what Nostr is, this will come with time, if they’re included to research. People still don’t know what the internet actually is, but use it everyday, so one could argue, do they need to know what nostr is? As an example, I bet barely anyone on Bluesky knows what the AT Protocol actually is. Main marketing channel for Nostr will be the clients/services that run on it. This is why I think it’s important that they highlight this fact and why (decentralisation).

I’ve been on Nostr almost a year now and I still don’t know what it is. 😂
Bluesky apparently has 3m users now. (Not sure what their daily active user numbers are tho). I mean it's all optional, no one needs to use any of the logos, you could just use the client logo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
But I do see the logic in having this as a button icon. Especially with the reality of what people actually interact with as nostr are the the microblogging clients (atm at least).
Basically, it's like tumblr but without the girls
I agree that an official logo is rather strange for a decentralized protocol. But a "sign" can be useful to connect all applications, indicating the network in which they live, and showing that they are "Nostr compatible."
That's why I thought of a logo that can be customized with colors, while maintaining a strong graphic sign:
