there's companies with slick marketable corporate design and then there's companies that are like "our logo hasn't changed since 1980 and looks like it was drawn in mspaint by john from accounting. we supply components to 97% of the worlds manufacturers and make billions per year"

@halcy I feel like sure, they could have the fabs rigged to blow but it only makes sense as a deterrent if everyone knows the fabs are rigged to blow so they could just say they are
