The USB logo dropped in 1995 with USB 1.0.
One theory says it's Poseidon's trident. Circle for memory. Square for processor logic. Triangle for data flow.

@ sign existed in merchant books since 1536 as "at the rate of". Symbol sat unused on keyboards for decades. In 1971 Ray Tomlinson needed to separate username from host. Good design decision nobody planned for.
