Shouldn't it be?
I'm sitting here very early in the morning looking at the logo and have finally seen what I consider a discrepancy in the Arch logo. Tell me if I'm wrong but don't you see Aarch? Shouldn't it just be

nope, because not everyone recognizes that the logo describes the letter "a" at first glance.

Either way looks fine to me. arch0r drives a good point home as well.

It's a designing rule that once a stylized logo letter reaches an unreadability level of over 9000, you have to spell it out.

It's better the way it is. Arch has the coolest name and the most simple yet beautiful logo than other distros.
True !

Re: Shouldn't it be?
I can see how the logo resembles the letter A, yet I don't read "Aarch Linux". How funny is that? I think the logo just doesn't blend in as a letter with "arch linux", since it is in such a different style.

I'd never thought about that. But the logo isn't enough of a real 'A' for it to be read as "Aarchlinux" in my opinion. It's fine the way it is I think

It's Aarchlinux, because it's Aaron's.

The logo change did happen soon after the shift in power 
, although the old logo had the same issue.

archlinux - please read this and this — twice — then ask questions.
