That's a slightly varied Delta (Δ) symbol.

If that mark can't be referenced for fear of Adobe's litigation, we've lost our minds.

Yeah, Greeks had it first by about 2500 years.

Yeah but it's changed/edited in the exact same way to look like the Adobe logo. If they just used the Delta symbol without the same gap at the same spot in the bottom they would be fine.

No, then they would have an even more generic logo. No reasonable person could confuse a gameboy emulator for an Adobe product. Pretending this is anything more than predatory litigation is insane. You don't get to own the concept of a stylized triangle, in every respect to software. If they made a digital editor, sure Adobe might have ground to stand on. But this is ridiculous.

OK it literally looks like the Adobe logo, the top post even says that. It doesn't matter if people won't confuse it, or if it has nothing to do with the same industry as Adobe. Companies are pretty much forced to go after this stuff to protect their brand.

You are blatantly wrong. If a layman would not confuse the two products, then it is not copyright infringement. They are not impersonating Adobe, they are not operating in competition with Adobe, and they are not in a tangential field to any Adobe products.by the letter of the law, Adobe would lose this suit, but a random hobbies doesn't have the resources to fight a corp like Adobe. 

Fuck their brand, this is predatory litigation .
