I try to make an effort to state things simply and clearly. I don't always succeed but I do try.
I don't claim to be an authority on the matter but from the information that I have seen to date, it was indeed the company ( The Perfume/Flavor Apprentice ) itself that introduced the new logo 'Fa' and not specific vendors. Why they chose this particular route is anybody's guess but I personally never cared for it. If you want to change your logo that's fine but at least make it so it doesn't create confusion with another brand. I can't imagine they didn't think this would potentially be an issue otherwise why bother to use the lower case letter 'a'?
Just for the record lol, I have also always listed base percentages as PG/VG ... probably because that is the way I was introduced to it and well, because P comes before V in the alphabet.

True but they did post in some forum a few months ago that they were going to switch to Perfumers Apprentice and Flavor Apprentice and more of my bottles are coming in with Flavor Apprentice on the labels. NR and OSDIYS are the two that pop into mind without looking. Fa or FA is on the invoices as well.
Not feeling combative at all, just stating from my personal pov. I do actually agree with some of what you are saying. I am just pragmatic, it is what it is.
It's true we can do nothing to change it but it still makes no sense to me.
Since I use high vg and see vg/pg on labels that is what looks normal to me. Labels are often higher %/lower % in most instances today. Frankly I find it easier and less confusing to just post 80vg. Then anyone reading will know my base %.

Yes they are still using TFA. What I had to get used to when I first started ordering from them is they often don't use the brands name for the flavor. Now I'm used to it and have since realized since they order in bulk it could be the way the bulk containers are labeled.
We should fight that. It's internet slang. They can't have FA, it's already taken. The internet slang doesn't have to go along with their change that would create confusion.
Rat Snot (there is a reason for the name) All %
FA apricot armenia 2
Cap cucumber 3
VTA persian lime 2.25
Cap sweet mango .35
New recipe and haven't a clue how it will taste.
Tangy SB CC
INW biscuit .75
FW cheesecake 3
RF(SC) strawberry gelato 3.5
Cap sugar cookie 1.5
Cap sweet tangerine 3
This would be too sweet for you but the flavor profile might work for you. If I like the base will do another with raspberry-citrus. Should be good for tasting in a week or so.
The way I see it is it's their company and can do as they please. Since they put it out there as a heads up I'm good with it. They want the vendors to use Fa but some are using FA. Guessing it's the way they set up the program that prints the labels.
I'll be honest, I never knew that pg was supposed to be listed first. I just always write pg or vg after the number so there's no confusion.
Maybe @Skunk! can remember what thread that came from, I don't. I promised a rat snot recipe and that's what I came up with. Was probably on a Wednesday.
...and also have a Rat cheese ball that I haven't mixed yet.
Every flavor under The Flavor Apprentice at BullCity is listed as TFA. Clearly at least they know their audience. lol
Whomever at The FlavorApprentice decided to make a logo with "Fa" clearly did themselves a great disservice as well as their customers. However, since the places I shop from are still listing TFA on websites/bottles, that is what I use and it is also clear they realize it and are not pushing the issue. And I hope TFA replaced that designer.....lol
