Well, it depends on the environment. For example, if we are powering a
computer lab in a school or office setting, then this branding will be
highly visible.

Your concern is based entirely on a single-user system, but I think
we're *hoping* that Workstation will be useful in multi-user
environments, particularly those cases where the machine is joined to a
domain (so auto-login is not really an option, since you will need to
authenticate against a domain controller to get SSO credentials).

That being said, yes I think some post-login branding is also a really
good idea, but there are fewer places we can put that in Workstation,
given its commitment to minimal chrome.

The only thing I can think of would be modifying the background image to
include (an overlay of?) the Product logo over the image.
