From San Francisco and Pegasus come…..
Truncate the name San Francisco and you have Cisco… the big networking company founded in the San Francisco Bay Area. That is why their logo is half a golden gate bridge (cut lengthwise)!
Now I find out that the big and upcoming Chinese high tech company was going to be called Pegasus (good luck on getting that trademark worldwide), but truncated it rather to be Asus so they could be front of the alphabet. That is a very bad reason to pick a name nowadays. If you are relying on people finding you at the front of the yellow pages directory, then you have much bigger marketing problems. Google searches sure don’t care if your name starts with an A or a Z. In fact, even in alphabetical searches, 3Com, for example, will be ahead of this ass like name.
Around here, every time anyone says Asus, all the latino men named Jesus jump up, as that is what it also sounds like unless people emphasize the H sound of Jesus.. which they don’t do!
