The developer behind Delta was threatened by Adobe's legal action, forcing the game simulator to change the icon.On Friday, the Delta game simulator updated its icon, which is a bit unusual.The upper part of the icon seems to be broken and moved to one side instead of an incomplete triangle (representing the fourth letter delta of the same name in Greek).

In an article by Mastodon, the interpretation of this change is the threat of legal proceedings.The challenge is not from the competitive application market or application developers, but from the creative cloud manufacturer Adobe.
In this post and the Delta App Store list, Adobe claimed that "Adobe threatened to take legal action because they thought our logo was too similar -- so we changed it!"
The new version is Caroline Moore's "inspired design", which imitates the original Delta logo to a certain extent.
The change of logo is regrettable, especially after the App Store starts to allow the simulator to be submitted.Delta is a well-known application in the field of iPhone game simulator. Changing the logo and other brand logos at such an important moment may cause great damage.
The previous icon of Delta really looks like a mirror version of the Adobe logo, which is a registered trademark of Adobe in the United States and other countries.According to the regulations of the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the company has the obligation to protect its own trademark, or it may lose the trademark right eventually.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office said: "If the trademark is not properly maintained for a long time, the original owner of the trademark may lose any trademark rights to the trademark."
