I'm afraid the latest proposal from Ripple's HoC is not as legible as I would have hoped. The lines are too close and the symbol can be confused with most any x, ❌, X, ✕, ☓, ✖, ✗, ✘, etc.
Given the need for a ubitiquous & forward-thinking icon, leave the serifs & swashes out (I've added in courier for fun); An X with a couple marks on the top & bottom is all that is necessary for connotating a currency (the marks) and the symbol (an X). Forget the 'Ripple' – this is an exchange token. Does the US Dollar have 'US' in it? Look at all the symbols here and tell me if it's necessary to add in any other lines.
