santellavision Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 OK, my new pet-peeve. The size of logos on manufacturers products. Is it just me or are these a wee bit over-the-top in size???
Feynman Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 My (least) favorite: However, this one doesn't bother me at all for some reason.
polotska Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 At least the Seymour Duncan logo is easy to remove (and they'll gladly make any pickup without the logo, if you order it that way).
MCChris Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 I was gonna say, isn't the stadium logo worshipped around here?I like the SL on 6-on-a-side headstocks (or 4-on-a-side headstocks for basses) and the Impact headstock. I don't like it on 3+3 headstocks.
atquinn Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 My (least) favorite: ... I've grown to love Tyler headstocks. Nothing beats his Joe Guitar headstock though -Austin
Devnor Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 Another big fan of the Tyler headstock & logo. Took me years to come around.
cynic Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 OK, my new pet-peeve. The size of logos on manufacturers products. Is it just me or are these a wee bit over-the-top in size??? +1 on this one....the picture doesn't give you a good idea of just how large it is...it would look huge on a 4x12, much less the 1x12...I got to looking at mine the other day and discovered it pulls off/out fairly easily if you're gentle with the few glue spots that hold it in place. Now I've got 4 eraser size holes where the grill cloth was stretched to make room for the posts, but MUCH better imo.
Steve Haynie Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 I thought this was going to be another Peavey bashing thread. Stadium logos are OK with me.
Siaip Ciuvas Posted April 28, 2010 Posted April 28, 2010 However, this one doesn't bother me at all for some reason. if you remove the logo, it loses certain dimension in tone.
DavidE Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 This tiny cabinet sounds as big as that logo looks.
santellavision Posted April 29, 2010 Author Posted April 29, 2010 My bass player has a Mark Bass amp where we practice. It absolutely kicks for it size.
Rodan Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 Right ON!! I hate branding on traditional-style, exposed-coil pickups. It looks CHEAP!! It's a glaring example of Marketing defeating Design. I mean, I get that there are alot of replacement pickup makers out there... Should the hardware and the wood and the knobs and the nut all have logos on them, too?!I don't care about the rationale(s). It's a sign of OUR times.
HSB0531 Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 I'll have to talk to Andy about the FUCHS billboard. A little more understated:
Paul Hamer Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 OK, my new pet-peeve. The size of logos on manufacturers products. Is it just me or are these a wee bit over-the-top in size??? I quite agree. I always thought that the larger the logo the less content there is in anything. I was against enlarging the Hamer logo and prefer everything to be more subtle. It is way more fun to have research and discover something than it is to have slapped in your face. Paul Hamer
hamertek98 Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 The Seymour logo is crooked... if it was smaller I wouldn't have noticed.
Thundernotes Posted April 29, 2010 Posted April 29, 2010 I thought the "stadium logo" looked good on some of the shredders, myself. There was also a logo slightly larger than the current model, I thought - mid 90's maybe?
