Meraki Miles! He was retired following the acquisition because it’s hard to take an “Enterprise“ Networking Company seriously when their logo is a smiley face. Now we use the a Capital M from the Cisco Font Family for an abbreviated logo.
Damn. Thanks for the backstory!
Why not use the Cisco logo directly?
Negative connotation
The logo is the Cisco logo with Meraki in Cisco Sans font as shown on meraki.cisco.com
This is the current logo. The M is just an abbreviation. This is the same logo for other acquisitions such as OpenDNS, now Cisco Umbrella.
Now that's more like it!
They do, it’s an M lol
