Notice how the Cisco logo is just left of the button. So I like to imagine some Gavin Belson type executive demanded the logo be put there at the last minute. Probably marketing, it’s always marketing.
Reminds me of the brilliant Coca-Cola campaign of putting random names on cans. Is someone more likely to buy a Coke that says “Jerome” of their friend happens to be named Jerome? Absolutely. And if they’re not? I don’t think it bothers anyone.
And then it got watered down, likely by committee. Now they say “buddy”, “pal”, etc. so that they can apply to everyone.
This always reminds me of the Gavin Belson Signature Box III from Silicon Valley.
