I am a little weirded out by the explanation to hide the manu. I definitely like the subtle yet standout colorscheme of the set, but yeah I feel if there are questions about who is manufacturing the set and that info is being kept in covers, it invokes a little skepticism (like say if recently I got a set from a manufacturer and it exhitbits smudging issues, I wouldn't likely go ahead and get another set from the same manu unless and until there is a solution to their manufacturing process, with the fear that a similar issue could be reproduced). Again I know IV works has built a brand name in the community, but if people want to know the name of the manu, they should be given the info. And ofcourse I know people who are scared could simply just not buy the set, but if they like the colors and if the info can help them make a decision, getting the info would really be cool.
