So, I've been looking at building a board with Gateron blacks, and I really would like to have an aluminum case and rgb backlighting. Well, to my surprise, there is a keyboard out there that fits the bill! The Varmilo VR68M RGB looks great to me.
-HOWEVER-
DAT LOGO?
I can't tell on mechanicalkeyboards.com if this board has a the comic sans logo on the front of the case. Does anyone know? It's really hard to find information on this keyboard for some reason.

Oh no, say it ain't so...

I think it's there :(

Contact the Varmilo rep, they might be able to send you a custom one without the logo. I vaguely recall the rep mentioning a logo-free custom option for one of their boards, don't remember which, though.

That logo is indeed hideous
They were selling un-built kits without Logo's, but not the RGB version
-
People get way too emotional over the logo. Like, irrationally butthurt. You're seriously considering skipping out on a great board because you don't care for the font they used in the logo? Bro...
It's not even a big logo and its in a pretty inconspicuous location. If it were almost any other font I bet $100 you wouldn't be able to name it. Comic Sans isn't even the worst font they could have chosen. Would you rather have Papyrus? Ravie? MADNESS!
Be reasonable. If it's any consolation I did hear that Varmilo had redesigned their logo a few months ago because of all the (wildly unecessary) backlash. So if you happen to get a newer revision then you should be fine.

I would prefer no logo at all on the front, but I'm still thinking it over. Definitely want Papyrus or Joker font verions! Oh god, don't let Varmilo see that, they may think I'm serious.

Hmmm.... how in the heck would I go about that? They don't even have a website do they? Maybe I could send a message on their facebook page as a start?
-UPDATE-
Just saw the new rep email address listed on the vendor board here. I sent an email and I'll report back with what I find.

I agree, logoless would be best. Or at least put it on the bottom of the board like they did for the VA87M.

That glorious logo graces the front of my case

Just sort of cover it up there a little...

Not so bad... But really, it's not bad. If it's a deal breaker, you could send the case off to any one of the millions of anodizing or powder coating services on Craigslist to get media blasted and re-coated.
