Is the name of the company "Oxide" or "0xide" (with a leading zero)?

All text seems to indicate the former while the logo seems to spell the latter?

The name is "Oxide Computer Company." But since "0x" is often used for hexidecimal numbers, and "0x1de" happens to be one, we play around with it from time to time.

Yeah the logo is a bit confusing, but the full name is "Oxide Computer Company".
