back in the initial Prodigy V2 logo contest thread i put out the idea to keep it simple...see posts 10, 35, 52, and 86).
but puresmoker didn't include that as an option to vote on in this thread. that's cool, but nonetheless there seems to be a growing number of voters who have voter's remorse and/or like myself, just wish they could have had a simple, sleek option to vote for in the first place.
having said that, i'm among the biggest puresmoker and biggest grimmgreen fans on the forum. to me, the two are a perfect marriage for new users, and having grimm do review of a free prodigy v2, with or without his "winning" design on the unit itself just seems like smart business sense and a great way for those not already firmly committed to purchase the v2 (i.e. nonforum users that comprise the larger YouTube viewing populace) to get an enthusiastic and entertaining 10 minute sensory introduction. grimm's design is cool, and honestly all of the submissions were great, but just not what i'd like to see on the latest, greatest pv from a classy company like pure smoker. that's my two cents, and it doesn't even by penny candy in this day and age.
so while we wait for steve and casey to chime in, maybe we can all think about how much we'd like to see grimm's design, or any others, replace the tried and true ps and/or prodigy logo at all. if grimm's is even possible, would we prefer to have the ps logo as the default option, and maybe grimm's as a limited edition???
i thoroughly appreciate the fact that steve and casey even thought to have a contest and involve customer feedback and individual submissions. i think that says a lot about the value that we as customers have in their business approach. but nevertheless, keeping it simple takes the existing consumer base in mind while also appealing to an unknown aggregate with a myriad if aesthetic desires and disidentifications.
