Quite so. This is a simple matter of marketing. Bread-and-butter
companies need to distinguish themselves in the high-end marketplace.

- When Ford bought Jaguar, did they start sticking blue ovals on XK8s?
- When Electrolux bought Husqvarna, did they change the brand name?
- And closer to home: during the time Philips owned Marantz, did they
drop the name?
- Some companies even invent luxury marques for their top end models
(eg. Toyota/Lexus).

There's a pattern here, and I for one cannot understand how Logitech
can fail to take notice of the actions of these much more experienced
companies.

It's one thing to stick a Logitech logo on a Squeezebox, which can be
seen as a mass-market device. But to put it on a Transporter is plain
stupid, marketing-wise.
