Ryzen logo looks like Alexa logo.

It's really interesting timing for both companies to come out with a logo so similar within 2 years. Who had it first?

It's just a circle. Pretty common.

oh come on you don't think that's interesting?

Amazon Alexa logo is supposed to be a speech bubble with a blue background. Likely emphasizing the speech part of their branding.

 

Ryzen's enso has a quite a bit of meaning behind it...

A symbol of perfection: Ryzen’s enso

There’s more behind Ryzen’s name, though—literally. The brushed circle behind the logo is an enso, either a closed or partially open circle in Japanese calligraphy. Naturally, there’s a Zen connection: A closed circle represents perfection, while an open circle symbolizes further development and growth.

An enso from an unknown artist.

AMD sees the enso, a “single unbroken creative stroke,” as representative of the human creative spirit, Taylor said. “There really are tons of people doing amazing things on the Internet every day,” he said.

The final element is the font, which you might have thought was simply added to express the brand name. Nope. Even that has a significance, Taylor said.

 

“The font adheres to Zen principles,” Taylor said. “There’s utter symmetry throughout this. Our team created this in house. They’ve done all the mapping to how all the letters follow Zen principles and balance.”

Sweet man, thanks. I still think Amazon is copying that

Come on, aren't we stretching it quite a bit?

Watch Yakuza: Kiwami 2's loading animation.  It's exactly the same.  A brushed circle.  Surprised we're not seeing lawsuits left and right considering Apple sued Samsung over rounded corners.

I don't think there's any crossover here.  If you want to look at logo copying, lets start with Microsoft and Microsemi or Sony and Coby

It's almost as if circles have little to no variety associated with them..

I don't think it's fair to point out similarities in basic geometrical shapes.

The Alexa logo looks like outline of the Hangouts logo.

too bad Microhard didn't follow the same design style with their logo.

 

that or a new start up company called Microerect can fill that void

I can think of a very NSFW joked about those company names.  You'd laugh...hard...

If you still don't get it

No, trust me, I get it.  I thin @Arika S had the same idea
