Many programmers lifted the name plate off their mainframe when it was
being removed.  S/360 only said System/360, but 370 also had the model
number.  After that I don't know if they bothered with nice large name
plates or other cool stuff.

IBM sold (or sells) contemporary THINK signs.

They sold a variety of stuff for their 100th anniversary.  But I was
pissed--I got a t-shirt and it turned out they sized them wrong; and
they (their marketer, actually) wouldn't take it back unworn.
