To me, it's fine to honor a company's preference, or even its trademark, if you choose. And it's fine to ignore it, if that's your preference. Not sure it qualifies as an "issue," though. Some things simply are.

Ooh thanks Monique, this is good news if a company is getting rid of camelcase in their logo! I'm really sick of wasting extra keystrokes to type some company's precious camelcase trademark. I've already been typing Linkedin, Github, Latex etc and gleefully ignoring picky capitalization.

ÂÂÂ I don't know when, but I noticed a while ago that it now seems to be

ÂÂÂ way I noticed that on their website it uses "Snagit", both in the logo
ÂÂÂ and in their text ([1]https://www.techsmith.com/screen-capture.html).
ÂÂÂ So they must've changed it. Because I'm just certain that it wasn't
ÂÂÂ like that "before".

Good luck, John!

I think Chris has a really good point. When I look at resumes, I tend to discoun
t people who make mistakes on products. For instance, SnagIt is one of the most
popular tech writing tool and most people spell it wrong.

If you can't take the time to correctly spell products in your resume, how caref
ul will you be with the documentation you write? It could even have legal conseq
uences when you don't pay attention to things like that and trademarks.

Thanks Chris for just sayin'...
