I knew someone would bring up the utility of the key as a meta-modifier.[0] Sun keyboards had a diamond to mark that key, which is better to my mind than a third party commercial OS logo. I wouldn't even mind if it was the keyboard manufacturer logo. [0]: https://deskthority.net/wiki/File:Suntype7sf.jpg

I got custom keycaps for unrelated reasons that have that on the super key and I wondered what it was.

Comically to me, it has both the diamond and Apple's command key logo. Windows is the only one missing.

Originally that diamond was the Sun logo, which was diamond-shaped.
