Due to TSMC's recent history of issues with new lithography processes (40nm & 28nm), I think that a redesign of their logo is in order.

Current logo:

Proposed logo:

The background squares remind me of punched cards.

Silicon foundry humor. After a wafer has been manufactured, all the chips on the wafer are tested. If they are defective, they are marked, usually with a black dot. I'm almost positive that's what the black squares are supposed to be on TSMC's actual logo. With all the rumors about yield issues at TSMC, I thought covering most of the wafer with defective chips would be funny :lol:
