"powerful persistence" and a picture of two floppy disks.

I'm in my early 30's and I haven't ever personally owned a computer that included a floppy drive. I did buy a USB one with my late 90's iMac, for compatibility with the school but I think you get my point.

Your point is wrong. Even kids who were born after floppy disks fell into disuse recognize the symbology as representing "save" or "persist". Apparently the letter "A" used to represent a bull. Doesn't mean it is useless to us today, far from it.

They recognise it because software uses it still, nothing more.
