I am in agreement with you. I travelled past Imperial College
(Paddington) today and was reminded that this institution, on its
divorce from the University of London had the prime opportunity to
"update" its name, and has chosen not to do so. Good for them!

(a) The secession is not totally complete yet;
(b) The current Rector of IC[*] has already committed one re-branding;
I expect the new one (due later this year IIRC) to go through another
one.

You may, of course, have seen deprecated signage (dark blue with the
crest) that is yet to be replaced. The new brand is, of course,
ridiculous.
[*] The Rector has banned such an acronym, but I have always been of
the opinion that he can call it what he wants, but he can't make me
call it anything other than what I want.
