However, new research shows that one major brand that isn't necessarily tied to Colorado has been named the most iconic in the state, and while it is a household name, some may argue that its position at the top isn't exactly deserved.

Is This Really the Most Iconic Brand in Colorado?

The recent study shows that the most iconic brand to come out of Colorado is DISH Network. 

While DISH Network is undoubtedly a household name throughout the nation, its Colorado connection isn't exactly well documented.

In case you're not aware, DISH Network's headquarters is in Englewood, Colorado, a suburb of Denver just south of the metro area, and it's here that over 14,000 employees keep the company afloat and contribute to its massive reported $16.68 billion revenue.

While the amount of employees at DISH Network and the staggering amount of revenue generated at the corporation are impressive, it's still tough to concede that the brand is indeed the most iconic in the state.
