Interesting, I never realized the Y wasn't symmetrical. The left branch is slightly lower and to the left of the right branch in the Y. This also creates a gap in the center of it at high resolutions: https://i.imgur.com/vwPnz2j.png

If this wasn't intentional, here's a symmetrical version:

    <svg width="100" height="100" viewBox="0 0 100 100" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
        <rect width="100" height="100" fill="#FF6600"/>
        <path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M62.1762 23.7426H72.6857L54.3948 51.6515V76.9391H45.6048V51.6554L27.3143 23.7426H37.8233L49.9988 42.3233L62.1762 23.7426Z" fill="white"/>
    </svg>


Perhaps the asymmetry is there to subtly evoke a dip and recovery of a company's stock price. The subtext could be "we build resilient companies".


Fun fact: "Y" in your comment is not symmetrical either. Letter shapes are usually not symmetrical, Y/X/etc. even in gothic sans typefaces add asymmetries that make text easier to read.


Imperfections in vector images make me twitch
