This is actually very upsetting to me because how does this animation fit with the declared meaning of the logo? The “overlapping rings” is not part of the logo! The logo is supposed to include 4 “atoms” connected by the arcs.

Did folks realise that when you mouse over the ACS logo on their header, it’s animated. I need a cold shower. #chemsky

I initially thought it was supposed to be a Bohr model thing, but it’s not. What’s the point of making deliberate branding decisions and then ignoring them for fun visuals?
