I've been around a company that was 180+ years old (so rebranding was non-trivial ;)). They switched to an acronym based on the original name, so there was was 1) a direct link between old and new, 2) old branded tgat was mussed wasnt a big deal for bew customers, and 3) everyone called it by the acronym going forward.

A similar approach might work for you and allow an incremential phase out of the old brand over time. Instead of HxHxHx, it's now HITD (HxHxHx IT Desktop)

It's not fair to mention this and NOT tell which company and link to the story about this! :)

There may not be a story to link to.

I once did a write up about Aflac's rebranding because I worked there for over five years and couldn't find a write up of it anywhere. I think that blog is no longer available to the public, so we may be back to "It doesn't exist anywhere online that I can tell."

KFC is 180 years old?!

Only 89 (it wasn't KFC). But yes; common pattern.
