The Golden Gate Bridge will be celebrating its 80th birthday on May 27th, 2018—a very special occasion for San Francisco and Cisco alike because of the company's bridge-inspired logo. The name Cisco, of course, comes from the latter section of the name "San Francisco". The construction of the Golden Gate Bridge started in 1933 and opened to pedestrians on Thursday May 27th, 1937. This bridge connects the city of San Francisco to Marin County, a symbol of connectivity that has become a California icon to the rest of the world.
It's so iconic that the founders of Cisco decided on the Golden Gate Bridge for the company's logo in 1984. The original logo was inspired by the orange and red color of the bridge and looked much like the actual shape.
