The WCA logo is not possible

[Doubleoh8]

If you look at the WCA logo, you may notice something. The WCA logo has an impossible color scheme for a normal cube. The red should be orange

yeah.

The World Cube Association governs competitions for mechanical puzzles that are operated by twisting groups of pieces, commonly known as 'twisty puzzles'. The most famous of these puzzles is the Rubik's Cube, invented by professor Rubik from Hungary. A selection of these puzzles are chosen as...

I mean as long as the logo looks nice then I don't really care. Technically it is possible if you use a color scheme that is different than the standard "western" scheme. @OreKehStrah uses a very different color scheme from whats considered "normal"

I think it's funny that they say this, when a significant number of the official Rubik's Cubes in existence in 2005 had exactly this color scheme. It exactly matches the cubes I bought in 1981 in an ordinary store in Virginia when they were first available (and so apparently matches a lot of American cubes from 1981, when the initial Rubik's craze started and so many cubes were sold), and also apparently matches most cubes sold in Japan by that time.

I actually used to swap yellow and white on my cubes so that would have been what my color scheme used to look like.
The reason was that when I started, I ordered an AoLong v2, stickers, and a sticker 1x1 to use as a reference for the color scheme. I ASSUMED the 1x1 was correct but it actually had white and yellow flipped lol. Eventually I realized and restickered, but I used the cube with w/y swapped for a couple weeks.

As a BYO colour-scheme solver, I find it pleasingly correct.
And I use BYO because that's what my first cubes had back in the 80's , and I stuck with it ever since. BYO and BOY seemed comparably common back then ( in the U.K ). My hunch is that the factory workers were instructed to apply the stickers 'red-opposite-orange' , 'white-opposite-yellow' , and 'blue-opposite-green' , but the details of exactly how were left to chance, hence the vaguely 50:50 production split.

It won't matter when the logo gets oversimplified

For a few months when I was into custom shades and stickered cubes were still largely the meta (early/mid 2016ish), I accidentally swapped red and orange on my OH cube so it would have had this exact color scheme. I used it for a really long time too before I finally swapped the colors back, although not before I competed with it I believe.

I don't see anything in their statement denying where the colors selected came from. I have no doubt they picked that particular arrangement because it was the original US color scheme. They're just saying it doesn't specifically show a 3x3.

Color schemes can be changed. There's nothing impossible about this color scheme.

The 3 letters represent the Holy Trinity. The 6 colors represent the days God worked (the seventh day He played with a Rubik's cube)

We can keep it that way for historical reasons. Personally I propose that it be modified by inverting the red and blue of the cube and the circle and also by inverting the green and the orange of the circle. Finally, so that the colors of the circle are opposite and centered to those of the cube, I also propose to turn the circle 30 degrees clockwise.

On the other hand, I am opposed to any change if it entails too high costs.
