Logitech, in the space of a few years has acquired Harmony, Slimdevices and Ultimate Ears. I think one is probably misjudging what they stand for, nowadays.

Maybe I just don't get it, or you are really trying to be hard headed or just keep the thread alive. I truly hope that you were not excepting a call from Logitech to see if it was OK to ask for your opinion and use your e-mail address to do the asking?! Facts: 1) You gave your e-mail address to Slim Devices. 2) Logitech bought Slim Devices 3) The banner at the top of this page says, Slim Devices, A Logitech Company 4) Logitech now owns Slim Devices, lock, stock and barrels that includes all info given to Slim Devices over the years to include your e-mail address. 5) Logitech, within limits, can use the info given to Slim Devices as it now sees fit as it is now the owner and caretaker of that information. 6) There was no choice. Choice is not part of this equation. Are you really that surprised that the new owner would like to get your opinion of how Slim Devices has performed for you? You should be pleased that the new bigger company cares enough to ask you for your opinion on something they really have no stock in because it was from the Slim Devices time line. To me it shows that they have stock and care about the original customer base that Slim Devices developed. Personally it seems to be a good fit. Two new products in under a year (granted the Duet was already being developed) and products being sold at Big Box Stores can only be seen as progress. Logitech left the same people in charge (why interfere with a good thing) and left the product line intact. I was worried that Logitech might do what other companies do after an acquisition, try to recover the investment immediately by downsizing product lines to the minimum most profitable IE say goodbye to the limited production Transporter. They have made acquisitons before and are smarter then that.

Re: [slim] New hardware without the Logitech logo ?
There is some truth in the associations that product and manufacturer's names give to things. People don't just buy products because they are the most functional or sensible to purchase. Advertisers and marketing people know this. After all, you don't see a Ford badge on a Volvo or a Jaguar ( OK, it should now say Tata of India!). The vehicle would still be of the same quality, but the badge would downgrade it. In fact, even the slightest association with Ford in the US knocked the sales of some Jaguar cars. -- Lesu Lesu's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15321 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51752 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] New hardware without the Logitech logo ?
Great players anyhow and they keep on getting better. So logi has so far proved to be god owner that develops it's asset. But the logitech's logo and colorscheme is ugly. Couldn't slim get themselves bought by a company with nicer logo ;-) I like the fact the logitech logo is in discret black and white on my controller. The Receiver looks nice to with the logo in relief black in black subtle, looks nice. what IS the logitech logo anyway ? it's looks like an e-coli under microscope :-) Big companies usually have some meaning built in to their logo's ? -- Mnyb Mnyb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4143 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51752 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

A shop offering replacement parts with the SD logo would probably sell good (before getting sued :)) I also have the SD logo on the SB3 itself (cool) and the Logitech logo on the remote (not cool). -- Uluen SYSTEM: MUSIC - EARS Uluen's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12166 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51752 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] New hardware without the Logitech logo ?
Agreeance. I bought my Squeezebox last September and got it through Amazon. Both the 'box and the remote have Slim Devices printed. I was glad because I was thinking they both would say Logitech. Slim Devices is cool. Logitech .. not so much. It might as well say Walmart. Logitech, to me, makes mice and keyboards. Not cool stuff. -- NFLnut NFLnut's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13180 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51752 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] New hardware without the Logitech logo ?
Branding stuff. Logitech probably bought SlimDevices and assimilated the brand name because over time they want to be known for more innovative technology than they have been up to now. If they crank out great products it will become the case after a while. If I had been Logitech, for now I'd kept the SlimDevices brand and added A Logitech Company in the back, discreetly... as they do on top of this very web page... -- pablolie pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51752 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
