Gateway 2000 was known for its distinctive cow-spotted boxes, which became a recognizable symbol of the brand. The company’s success was driven by its focus on delivering high-quality products and excellent customer service, and it was widely praised for its innovative marketing campaigns. During the 1990s, Gateway 2000 expanded its product line to include not just computers but also a range of peripherals and accessories, further solidifying its position as a one-stop-shop for all things computing. To modernize their brand, the name was changed to simply “Gateway Inc.” in 1998.
