Any pictures of the certificate? How does it look?

Interesting options, I think the co-branded ones are good by themselves, you don't really need it coming ASU (AWS, Google, etc, I wouldn't want to or need to pay extra for the ASU for these, just to have their name on it...) I would look into these offerings closely and see if you need/want them...

In regards to the first two certs, they seem like a good stand alone option or if you want to be adding that to an associates or bachelors. It may be worth it if you're trying to add the ASU name brand for recognition. Otherwise, the foundation certificates are introductory level classes, for the most part...
