Cisco has a new logo on their web site. It was leaked out by someone and noted last month by
Charlie Demerjian. Charlie obviously has never been to San Francisco, he's never seen a picture of the Golden Gate Bridge, and didn't take a minute to
watch this video where John Morgridge gives the history of Cisco Systems, Inc. so he's missing out on what the vertical bars represent. Ah well.
My take on the new logo is that it's just a standard update to keep the branding current.. and Cisco is trying to get more into the home market with their acquisition of Linksys and Scientific Atlanta. So having a more friendly looking logo that will appeal to the average consumer is a good thing for them.

Cisco decided to change their logo in order to reach a new ?˘‚Ǩ?ěconsumer-centric push.?˘‚Ǩ¬ů The new logo looks much simplier compared to the very pixelated logo of the past and I can agree that the move will improve brand awareness for Cisco amongst a very competitive industry.
It was through extensive market research focus studies, Cisco found that they had very low brand awareness compared to their competitors. Cisco will be using television, radio, billboard, and mobile advertising along with their new slogan and logo starting Thursday.
