Talk:Logitech

message: The current picture seems a bit old.  Shouldn't we post it of one of their leading products, such as the G5 or MX1000?  Also, this is an article focusing on Logitech.  I don't think there should be a Microsoft product right next to it.  If anyone has a G5, mind posting a picture?  My Logitech mouse is certainly a little bit more modern, but the G5 is probably their most well known product. --EndTasked 00:51, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

text: As of Dec 2019, the main picture of the article showed a grandiose complex, with the caption "Logitech's headquarters". That picture was actually of the entire EPFL campus in Lausanne, Switzerland. I replaced it with a public domain picture that shows the real offices. Amicotoni (talk) 10:10, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Picture 

message: Hello! So sorry that my first request wasn't clear enough @spintendo! Here are the reasons and verbatim text for each claim being changed. 
1. Please remove the last sentence in the opening section:' 
The name Logitech is derived from the French word for software, "logiciel".[3] In Japan, Logitech was established as Logicool to avoid conflict with the Logitec brand.
''
2. Reason for change being made:'''
This isn't general information about the Logitech brand, it is a part of the brand's history and should be included in the history section. Additionally, the Logicool information is not cited and therefor should not be listed.
1. Please remove the second sentence in the history section:' 
For a time during its formative years, Logitech's Silicon Valley offices occupied space at 165 University Avenue, Palo Alto, California, home to a number of noted technology startups.[6]
'2. Please add the following claim as the second sentence in the history section:'
The founders chose the name Logitech based on the French word for software, “logiciel”
3. Using as the reference:
Campbell-Dollaghan, Kelsey. "The Life and Untimely Death of Technology's Weirdest Logo". Gizmodo. Gizmodo. Retrieved July 30, 2019.
4. Reason for change being made:
The original information was not particularly relevant to Logitech as a company. It is not where their office currently is, or where they were founded. The information of where their name came from is a much more relevant piece of history. 
1. Please remove the third sentence in the history section:' In 2007, Logitech licensed Hillcrest Labs' Freespace motion control technology to produce the MX Air Mouse, which allows a user to use natural gestures to control a PC.[7][8]
'2. Please add the following claim as the third sentence in the history section:'
The company was originally focused on software, and wanted to develop a software product that would let users interact with a computer visually. Logitech realized that the computer mouse was a growth opportunity, and their decision to produce one became a turning point for the company. Logitech introduced its first hardware device, the P4 mouse, for users of graphic software in 1982

4. Reason for change being made:
Logitech made other hardware advancements. It's out of place and doesn't tell a cohesive story to include just one achievement.
1. Please remove the fourth sentence in the history section:
In August 2008, Logitech acquired Ultimate Ears, supplier of custom in-ear monitors for professional musicians and Bluetooth speakers for the consumer market.[9]
'2. Please add the following claim as the fourth sentence in the history section:'

A majority of this History section is just acquisitions/sales the company has made. Therefore, it makes more sense to break them out into their own section of the page. I will suggest that edit in a separate post. And as stated previously, multiple changes in leadership were made that were not accurately reflected in the original document.

Darrell has stated that “nothing is recession proof, but these categories are recession resistant. In a down environment people are going to cut their travel budgets, so video will go up. In gaming, in a down environment people don’t want to go out so much and spend as much money, so they will probably play more games.”

thread_title:  Logitech Page Refresh -  

message: Since a large part of the previous history section was giving information about Logitech's various acquisitions and brands, I propose that we create a separate section of the page to discuss those in more depth, and to ensure that the history section of the page is dedicated to only the company history.

message: Surprised by the lack of information on Logitech audio systems. Especially the "THX" speaker systems with 7" / 8" / 10" ported reflex and 6.5" ported bandpass subwoofers (Z623, Z-560/Z-2200/Z-680/Z-2300/Z906, Z-5500 and Z-5300/Z-5300e/Z-5400/Z-5450), and the systems based on the Labtec LCS-2424's passive radiator bandpass subwoofer design (Z-340/Z-540/Z-640/X-620/Z-3/Z-4/Z-3e/Z-4i).
