I wonder if we will start seeing companies coming up with their official signs? I guess that should be happening already.

Although if the company isn't already plugged into the Deaf culture, I doubt that they will be able to exercise much control over what their own sign winds up being. It's easy to imagine a company creating a sign for themselves that's awkward and/or unnatural to use, simply out of ignorance (or because they're a special snowflake and the rules don't apply to them).
