Yes, I really wish they made it clear they're a search engine. If I didn't already know better, I would probably think they're a security consulting firm or some kind of native app for my computer (like antivirus for trackers).

Regardless, I hope this at least makes them more recognizable to the general public. People often put more trust into names and brands they frequently see.

The billboards I saw in Des Moines the other day were definitely in prominant locations and the design is vibrant enough to grab attention.

You're right, there is something to be said for this billboard being more about building name recognition than anything else...I just worry that they're jumping the gun on it a bit, and honestly would have loved to have seen something that made a case for privacy. That would be very difficult to do with a billboard, though.
