Hey if you really dislike the logo...
Do not download it. If some 20,000 people refuse to acknowledge its
legitimacy then it will not last very long.
To be fair to Cisco they did offer a survey offering at least two type of
logos. Maybe someone should have recommended keeping the old one.
However, since there are so many tracks now this will serve to benifit those
wil specialty tracks and multiple CCIE's the most.
And it will likely affect the majoroty of CCIE's in the other direction,
since a little bit of the halo "one logo fits all" aspect may be diminished
a bit. Kind of like being just an MCSE versus being an MCSE+Security or
MCSE+Messaging back in the day or a CNE versus a Master CNE, etc.
Don't feel bad employers are already asking for a CCNA or a CCIE to fill
positions with. Now the logos for everyone will make this even more likely
since the logos kind of look alike. How's HR to know the difference, who
keeps track of these things anyway?
