Some cables also don't have logos, or don't have the USB logo. The only sure fire thing is the shape and the two little pins, or spikes or whatever on one side.
See attached, section 4.5.2 and figure 4-5.

It is entirely possible to purchase non-standard cables, which does not change the description of how a standard cable is used or attached.

The mating orientation also depends on the board manufacturer getting the socket on the intended side of the board.
Nothing prevents them from putting a surface mount connector on the wrong surface.
