Ai is much more easily recognized as Illustrator that Il is. (capital I, lower case L. looks like roman numeral 2)

InDesign is the only camel-cased product name. (They probably should’ve gone with In, but i think they were trying to avoid the capital I / lower case L ambiguity altogether.)

After Effects is two words.

I assume the decision to use upper/lower all-caps for InDesign and After Effects was because of their unique naming when compared to Photoshop, etc. Also, they couldn’t use Ae for After Effects because of the corner they pasted themselves into with the Illustrator icon. “Ae? Adobe Effects?”

Just my stream-of-consciousness though process! :)

Additionally (although I freely admit it’s nit-picking): why does the lowercase “i” in “Ai” extend higher than the “A”, when the uppercase “D” in “ID” and “E” in “AE” are shorter? Makes no sense at all. *Sigh*

@Kate No Bridge because John and Amanda don’t really use Bridge in their day to day work flow, they wanted to make the pillows that correspond with the software they use most.

@sclizott If there’s a program error, you’re more than welcome to punch it, throw it, and then later… apologize and cuddle with it.
