However, USB Type-C cables and chargers will receive new power rating logos.

However, the USB Implementers Forum announced new certified USB Type-C cable power rating logos to clearly indicate the power capabilities of USB-C cables to consumers.

 In line with the new specifications, USB Type-C cables now feature special logos highlighting support for 60W or 20W of power.

Finally for the uninitiated, the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) is the support organization for the advancement and adoption of USB technology.

Additionally, the USB4 cables will also feature a new logo that shows not only the new 20Gbps or 40Gbps data transfer speed, but also the charging speed (via: Business Wire).

These new certified logos will be present on product packaging, in the briefing, on the device, on the charger and on the cable itself. USB-IF will remind consumers to only purchase these certified products from trusted sources to ensure interoperability and backwards compatibility.

“With the new higher power capabilities enabled by the USB PD 3.1 specification, which unlocks up to 240W via a USB Type-C cable and connector, USB-IF saw an opportunity to further strengthen and simplify its certified logo program for the end user,” said Jeff Ravencraft, President and COO of USB-IF.

With our updated logos, consumers can easily identify the USB4 performance and USB power delivery capabilities of certified USB-C cables.

They support an ever-expanding ecosystem of consumer electronics from laptops and smartphones to monitors and chargers, he added.

However, USB-IF doesn't appear to have done anything to stop anyone from using replicated logos on products that don't meet quality standards (via: GSMArena ). Indeed, there is a lot of room for misuse.

A better implementation would have been something similar to the HDMI LA solution in that not only logos but also a holographic image and a QR code are required to confirm authenticity.

Finally in this case, a user can very conveniently scan the QR code on the packaging to confirm authenticity.
