As I have no experience in office situations, I cannot answer that.
However, it would've been an interesting experiment to just swap the
logos and see how long it'd take for them to notice.

Hm, that makes me recall a dark and distant past in which I preferred
the look of windoze 3 over any other WIMPy GUI I had seen, even though
it was the least useful of 'em all, and in hindsight is certainly one of
the ugliest.
I was a little kid at the time. I suppose I was just not mature enough
to appreciate alternatives to what I'd been given. Besides, I had (and
still have) little use for WIMPy GUIs. As now, I mainly used them for
games that I like but are so broken that they will only run under them.
And beancounters hate 'scruffies', not to forget, and that hate tends to
be mutual. Using something associated with an opposing tribe is
something that primates tend to rather frown upon.
If the beancounter was of the somewhat more mature variety, his
disappointment may just have been an 'it was nice while it lasted, but
we all have to grow up' type of reaction, though. I couldn't possibly
judge this.
If none of these explanations apply, I guess it's plain familiarity.
Or the groupthink that primates are well-known for.
