Their logo is a robot. "Go dot" rhymes with "robot". I always assumed that it was a purposeful misdirection using the popularity of "Waiting for Godot" to lead people to mispronounce it as "guh-doh". I know I'm wrong, but I like that story better than the real one.

Actually not, it's

/ˈɡɒdoʊ/ GOD-oh

pronunciation is where phonetic alphabet shines[1] and English totally sucks [2].
