that looks like AM modulation on a chinese carrier
can someone do a FFT?
Just eyeballing it, I'm guessing it would look like a raised middle finger. Hopefully aimed at the competition and not the customers.
It's unquestionably a poor logo, but the people and the products are what's important, and they're doing fine there from what I can see.
It's also surprising how well logos can hold up over time. Nobody was especially complimentary of the Agilent logo when they announced it, or of the name for that matter. But the Agilent logo looks good now for a few reasons. One, because the new logo is worse. Two, because it wasn't really that bad in the first place. Three, because the company itself was, and is, still H-P under the hood.
The Lucent logo, on the other hand... wow. There is, and was, no possibility of redemption for that one.
