OLD^ NEW^
So just yesterday Corsair released all their K series RGB keyboards, however the changed the logo last minute to a crablike tramp stamp tattoo logo.
The new logo looks awful as you can see. Can you guys please sign the petition to ask Corsair to keep their old classic logo as they have on the first batch of K70s?
This means alot to me and the now 1000 other people who don't want to see Corsair succumb to "tween gaming".

Interesting. I had no idea. Out of curiosity why does this mean a lot to you? What personal stake do you have in Corsair's logo?
Edit: I'll go ahead and sign because I always thought Corsair had one of the classiest logos of all computing equipment brands.
@Jason, Do you not see the dedication and passion put into this post and our requests. A logo is not just a silly little picture. It is what represents a company, and entire organization. The reflects the organization's beliefs through its symbol and type face. Such a small change/image can say so much about a company. At first i was like, i don't like the logo but i was going to buy it anyway and mod it out. But through the dedication here i have slowly decided to wait in hopes of a possible change. Now, after this lengthy post i've decided to withdraw from purchasing the K95 RGB and wait for a proper revision to Corsair's mistake. And if the revision is not delivered i will wait for a new product once the MX RGB exclusivity expires. I've waited over 6 months to spend $189.99 on a keyboard when there are other option available for over half the price. Furthermore, the timing and manner in which the new "Corsair gaming" logo has been introduced is undesirable. Throughout this entire wait we have been presented with a wonderful product, only to have it altered (and delayed) at the last minute. I care so much about this, that i took the time to create a petition to persuade Corsair to revert to the original logo. And i continue to actively look for petition supporters.http://www.overclock.net/t/1457106/tpu-corsair-debuts-first-gaming-mechanical-keyboard-with-cherry-mx-rgb-switches/1040#post_22892479 (http://www.overclock.net/t/1457106/tpu-corsair-debuts-first-gaming-mechanical-keyboard-with-cherry-mx-rgb-switches/1040#post_22892479)
This keyboard was going to be my first official Corsair product. (Iv'e bought 6-8 corsair PSU now, as i build PCs for friends and other customers) Now i have been disappointed by Corsair before i even got a chance to purchase/pre order my first Corsair product. I was planning to purchase a 900D (or whatever flagship case you would have available) when i graduate college in 2 years. Also, i was going to switch from Patriot memory which i have been loyal to for some 8 years. Now all of this may not happen. Please fix this before it's too late. I will forgive you if you (corsair) if fix your mistake. I end with a quote.

My god, what were they thinking?
it's clear to me. Instead of representing the "good" or "quality" components, they want to represent the "junk" "gaudy stuff that will sell to noobs" and they are changing their logo to match.
I mean, if I: Noob collector of gaudy trash for 1337 skillz want to buy something, I want to buy it from a company with a logo to match (to put on the side of my case) not some "respectable company" logo like corsair's older one was.

The old logo looks old.

Signed.
If you look at their facebook page, 95% of the comments are about how horrible the new Logo is.
EDIT: I was reading the Corsair forum, sounds like they're set on the new logo because they spent over $1,000,000 in the new campaign. So they can't just change it now. Talk about money well spent....... :rolleyes:
...people actually LIKED their old logo?
it was a bunch of sails am i correct?

So much arrogance in those responses. I miss the old Corsair. Their quality, designs, and support have been going downhill.

you guys are still going to buy their **** so who the hell cares?
I quite like corsair products. The tramp stamp is certainly not a good match for the brand image that they have created. I'd love to see them step into a professional quality keyboard in the %60 space but it's pretty clear that their target market is 12 year old boys that think 1980's retro tribal tattoo are cool....
The motif confuses me personally but I'm not a 12 year old boy. I am though the part of the market that actually buys $200 keyboards. I expect a $200 keyboard to last a long time and fit in on the job or at home for play. It should be practical, rugged, and aesthetically pleasing.
On an up note I ordered a cherry bro poker 2 and a nice aluminum case from qtan today so now all I have to do is wait patiently and decide which pcb to choose from for a custom build.

I actually don't think I have any corsair stuff, but I always thought that sails logo was pretty "dope".
We hear You.
As many of you know we launched our new Corsair Gaming line of peripherals this week. We’ve received a ton of feedback on the products and new logo. We are amazed and humbled by the passion our customers have for the original Corsair sails logo. The ship + sails are here to stay and will continue to be used on all Corsair PC component products.
However, we know many of you prefer the classic logo on our keyboards, and you’ve made your voices heard. For those of you looking for the new K70 RGB with the original sails logo, it’s currently available in North America from Newegg – just look for the SKU CH-9000063-NA. What’s more, as a direct result of your feedback, we will continue to sell and manufacture the Vengeance K70 and Vengeance K70 RGB with Cherry MX Red switches, with the sails logo, via select retailers and Corsair.com.
Let’s keep talking!

The old logo is actually relevant to their name. The new one not so much.
To the people mentioning the Corsair PSU's.
Corsairs PSU's are all made by Seasonic, Channel Well(CWT) & Flextronics. Edit: I forgot Chicony Power Technology and the CS series is made by GreatWall.
Interestingly, I have never seen a bad Seasonic PSU I know they have to go bad I just have yet to catch one in the wild.
Oh, and not so many years ago the majority of Corsair products were crap, they just managed to dig themselves out of that ditch without anybody noticing.
new logo gave you 10wpm more and you guys ruined it.
i hope you like your ****ty branding more than l33tn3ss, n00bz
Speacking of polls. How DO you do polls here?

Yeah mods, how DO you make a poll here? :rolleyes:
They've always had a good standard out of the gate.. but they can only do so much if buyers WANT an inferior product.

That logo is truly terrible. It is like they intentionally made it to look cheap.
I would pay extra if they removed all logos. I hate advertising for people and not getting paid for it :P
well... that's unfair to the logo..
The perverse use of emblems of that type above butt cracks is what makes it look cheap...
The logo itself if unassociated with buttcrackage is sound all to itself..Show Image(http://emoticoner.com/files/emoticons/onion-head/embarrassed2-onion-head-emoticon.gif?1292862502)
They've always had a good standard out of the gate.. but they can only do so much if buyers WANT an inferior product.
They're (Corsair) still selling PSU's at the same prices but have strived to reduce the quality much like Razer have done with their entire range of products.
It's ALWAYS the manufacturer who cuts corners on quality and durability because how can 'planned obsolescence' work if every one of your products last's for years? Welcome to 2014/15 where manufacturers are no longer gullible when it comes to extracting maximum profits from their customers ;D .

Which model lines are you talking about, the lower end units or the HX/AX? My 4-5 year old HX1000 is still purring along, I'd be rather upset if the HX/AX aren't as good when it comes time to upgrade my whole system.
I don't get whats so bad about it, not that I'm going to be buying any corsair products anytime soon anyway but that is besides the point.
Clearly corsair wants us to see our keyboards as weapons so by throwing dual swords out there we will be inspired to go for the win, every time.

The logo mark objectively is terrible. It's typical of that phase of awful and crudely made 'designs' from the mid-2000s where random ornaments would be overlaid and made symmetrical, mostly used for products like teenage backpacks and random junk. The typeface by itself is fine, they should have made a better logo mark though (if any).That's a very bold claim. I wonder if I am mistaking your irony or hyperbole.

You say it's "objectively terrible" but by what objective standard? I can only think of subjective aesthetic ideals, but if objective ones do exist, than I fail to see how they would apply to a logo. Just because it evokes negativity for you does not mean it's obvectively anything.
