Problem with the new plaques isn't so much the logo...it's the color
scheme. Can't read any of the writing on them.......

Quite honestly the new Cisco logo SUCKS! It looks like a an F16 military

if it will remain as the way it used to be! They must have hired someone
who
has done all these changes and his aim is to screw them up!! :-)
