I would agree, purely on aesthetic grounds "1Password Park" sounds terrible. An example of how this can be done better would be something like the Institute for Contemporary Art in Richmond, VA [1]. The building itself is known as the "Markel Center" (Markel being the large insurance company that paid for it), and they have a small sign out front. I don't mind that at all. It helps that the name is a proper name, after the founder of the company, and it's not a well known B2C brand.

I think people are missing the point a ton. This isn't Bank of America buying the naming rights to an NFL stadium.

Not a single person will sign up for 1Password because of this park, and they know that. It's not marketing.

Someone with decision making power at 1Password loves this park (or this area) and is using the money they've collected via 1Password to keep it alive and going.

This is wonderful and I love it. It reminds me of how my (venture backed tech) company sponsors the Barnesville Potato Days every year in Minnesota. Not because we think we'll get a sign up, but because one of our employees loved it and talked about it all the time and when they needed money one year we were happy to part with it.

EDIT: Yup, they have an office near there and the founder is from the area: https://dteare.medium.com/14-years-of-growth-the-1password-s...
