Logos - offputting?

Davenhurst · #1 (**permalink**) 07-06-2006, 03:18 AM

I remember reading a forum post by someone who found the logos on cymbals put him off his playing, so he'd remove them.

I'd never even considered that it could be a problem, and I'm never bothered by them myself. Logo removal isn't straight forward either, different companies use different printing techniques so for each brand of cymbal you need a different product which will attack the ink but not the cymbal itself.

I know lots of people remove logos, any of you guys do it? Also, it was the first and only time I've heard of a logo putting someone off, has that ever happened to you?

What do you mean by a logo putting someone off? Does the logo distract them or something?

If anything, I think the logo is sort of a status symbol (cymbal.. haha) if they're top notch..

Exactly right, they were distracted while playing.

I keep the logos on just incase I sell the cymbal down the road.

I have a 14" sabian hh thin crash that I will never sell.

I'm sorry but that's just ridiculous. Out of all things why would a cymbal logo be distracting to the point where you have to take it off? Just doesn't make sense to me.

I agree with you.

Me too, I couldn't quite believe it as I read it.

I'm not sure how one would do that, but I've never considered it, and they don't distact me......as a matter of fact, I dig em.

My cymbals are paiste, but the logo wasn't on when I got them. When your playing drums you shouldn't be focused on whether or not you're gonna hit the logo or not. Never really thought of it as being a problem for someone.
