About cisco

A red, uppercase wordmark reading "CISCO" in a bold, geometric sans-serif sits beneath a row of dark teal vertical rounded bars of varying heights and spacing. The bars are evenly aligned along a baseline and have pill-shaped (rounded) ends, forming a repetitive, minimal pattern across the top of the mark.

The overall composition is simple and modern: the stacked arrangement (symbol above wordmark) uses high contrast between the deep teal graphic and the vivid red text, producing a compact identity that reads clearly at small sizes.

What's in it: vertical rounded bars (stylized)

Shapes: row of vertical rounded bars wordmark

Style: minimalist modern geometric flat stacked mark

Text in logo: CISCO

The stacked vertical bars visually suggest a signal/waveform or a simplified bridge silhouette (repetitive vertical piers), creating associations with networking and connection.
