9k stars in 5 days for a bunch of logos (and they're not even SVG!).

Interesting...

Edit: This repo is super weird. 400+ open issues from different accounts, 200+ forks (what are they forking exactly?). All in the space of a few days.

The logos were very popular on twitter, see the account of the author here:

The open issues almost all requests for different logos.

People have already made their own t-shirts, stickers, keychains etc. using the logos:

That's quite incredible. The power of having a such a large social media following I guess.

The larger follower count comes FROM this project. I've seen a lot of people being really excited for this style and hoping their own tech stack comes next.

It's just something cute to celebrate tech.

I don't know what's the name of that style, but it's used a lot in the vtuber community. So much so that searching "vtuber logo" on Google Images will return mostly images that look very similar to those from the repo.

Right, I can see they had < 2000 followers before this project, now 14.5k.
