Branding for USB-C devices is changing to reflect data transfer speeds.
The organization responsible for maintaining the USB standard is killing the previous branding with version numbers and the SuperSpeed moniker.

If you’ve ever found yourself in a dilemma with all the differing USB version numbers and names, you’re in for some good news. The USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF), the industry body managing the USB standard, has come up with much simpler branding for USB-C cables and connectors.

Instead of using monikers like SuperSpeed or USB 3, USB 3.1, and such, the rebranding will reflect the data transfer speeds of USB devices.

USB-IF has also decided not to name the new standard USB 4, and instead go with the new naming scheme. Branding for USB-C cables will also reflect their charging wattage, apart from their data transfer capabilities. You can see the rebranded logos and names for different USB-C versions below.
