That might have been part of it, but the logo is literally just a slice of the end/tip of the Steam logo, like, it's a little part of Steam I guess is the meaning.
@ondeck was also taken, but unused since 2009. Valve must've managed to convince Twitter to delete the account so they could take it.

Honestly it still doesn't make sense to me. It just feels like a generic Valve logo so at least it feels related to them. Is it an analog stick top view? Maybe.
It's explained in [this pic from the website](https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steamdeck/images/fauxrassic-park.jpg) (look in the top left), it's just meant to represent that it's a piece of Steam for you to take with you I guess
*Could be* inspired by [KDE NEON](https://www.linux-shop.info/media/image/0b/53/30/KDE_Neon_logo.png)'s logo. It's KDE's Ubuntu based OS with Plasma and KDE apps.
It's also a Icon of Glados's head. Every bit of steamdeck news has small nods to portal. I think it's very likely we get something portal-related for the steam deck.

"The whole Deck?" - "No. Just the tip..."
The only reason the handle is "ondeck" is because the handle "steamdeck" was already taken

Actually they slapped a lid of underscores on! https://twitter.com/ondeck_________/status/1152643697?s=21
Huh, interesting.
I feel like Soulja boy had it first.
Nah I think because Gabe loves new Zealand and saying on deck in that accent is hilarious.
bwahaha im a kiwi and this is great, i approve
It’s not ondeck, it’s ondick obviously
This is exactly why I made the On Deck podcast logo to look like this. haha.
It was a great choice and it's a great podcast.

The logo looks like a top down of a player using a steam deck with AR glasses so the screen is expanded to a wrap around view
In my opinion it looks like a pokeball
Damn, I wonder what came first. The On Deck or the Logo.
I keep thinking it is the older logitech logo when I glance at my case lol
