\"\"<\/p>\n

A dedicated button for Facebook<\/a> on your phone? With super awkward placement?<\/p>\n

While this Fb x Real Life mashup is unnecessary, I wanted to look at other examples of company logos on real life buttons<\/strong>. Most companies that produce hardware are content with having their logo printed onto a surface instead of a pushable button.<\/p>\n

Note: images are used only to illustrate hardware buttons. Each logo is property of their respective owner.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Blackberry<\/a> has been doing this for some time. Note the natural location among the keys.<\/p>\n

A natural category for buttons is remotes. Specifically TV remote controls.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

TiVo<\/a> has been doing this for a while with their quirky logo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Netflix<\/a> is rolling out their logo as more and more devices ship with an embedded Netflix app. Apparently, Yahoo<\/a> got onto this remote as a bonus.<\/p>\n

Another category with branded buttons is video game consoles. Their controllers have gained logo buttons with the current generation of hardware.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The original Xbox<\/a> had a giant logo, but it wasn’t one you could press. The Xbox 360 has a pushable logo for Xbox’s dashboard.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Playstation<\/a> 3 getting its logo on.<\/p>\n

An easily overlooked category would be the keyboard. Countless keyboards have the Windows logo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Here is an example of the ubiquitous\u00a0Windows<\/a> keyboards that exist. The Windows key is useful for certain shortcuts (Win + D<\/em> for desktop), but a pain when you’re in the middle of a full screen game.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Some Mac keyboards have an Apple<\/a> logo.<\/p>\n

While the Facebook logo above is placed awkwardly for dramatic effect, most company logos are placed logically in a manner that consumers use every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
