Maybe you are living in Newark 
I haven't heard of Prudential before coming to USA, because the company does not have the anvergure of a Meryll-Lynch or Goldman Sachs. When the company is rather unknown, its logo cannot be better. It's not like we are talking about the MacDonald's M, or the two circles for Mastercard, or the hammer and the sickle. It is a national company, it could be your personal experience, but this doesn't make it worthy of a worldwide encyclopedia. Your propaganda is what will, in the end, make it a world-class logo.
