SF E1E, When did they change the Logo?

[F250XLT]

I just received the bottom one today, when did they modify the logo?

I actually took note of this change when it happened! 🙂
If I remember correctly it was late January/early February of last year.

SF started putting the new logo on everything last year. They even managed it on large batches of stuff they then clearanced out (still scratching my head on that).

So only 2010 and before have the older one.

Is it just me, or does the old style look better?

 

[ElectronGuru]

I like the new swoosh, the new font is overdone.

Old school look better!

I suppose turnabout is fair play. Maybe Solarforce won't sue them for copying their logo.
I do like how they made it uglier and more obtrusive-looking, but harder to read at the same time

Not just you, I also like the old style. I didn't even notice the change until this post. My E1b backup and C2 Centurion have the old, while my E1E and E2E have the new.

Did the logo change coincide with whether the light has E1E or E1e on the flip side? Mine with the older logo has E1e on the other side, while the new one has E1E.

I too think the old style looks better.

I didn't notice the change, but I have just checked my E1E's. 3 are the old style and 2 are newer.

Forget the old style, why did they eliminate the crosshair logo before the old style? :shakehead:

I always thought that was an interesting move.

I suppose it takes their employees a few minutes per light to upgrade the logo and costs nothing to change the laser engraving machine's programming, but why the hell do that to nearly every light when they are all about to be discontinued?

The new logo is probably going to be pretty rare a few years from now.

I like the old style better.
Crosshairs looks best in my opinion.

I have a few SF's and noticed the change when I had a chance to pick up either an old- or new-logo C2 HA. While I agree that the new swoosh thing is better, I still prefer - and chose my C2 with - the old logo as it's easier to read.

Funny how the new logo looks cheap, almost like you'd expect to find on a knock-off. I wonder how many people got their light thinking it was a "replica"...
