Identity Crisis?
I'm amused by the advertisements for "AT&T, formerly Cingular." They might as well tell the whole story: "AT&T, formerly Cingular, formerly AT&T, formerly Cellular One."

How much lower would my cell phone bill be if they hadn't had to redesign their logo, their building, their stationery, their business cards, their collateral material, and their advertising so many times?

Usually, brand loyalty is the driving force behind keeping your name unchanged. Is there really enough negative market energy behind those old names that it was worth the trouble?
