Quote:Originally Posted by SilverAgeFan You know, it was probably more involved than that even. As I understand it, a lot of marketing firms will hold workshops with the employees, to elicit how people view their company, and how they would like the company to be perceived. I think that's where a lot of the symbolism came from. I'm thinking, more and more, that simply letting people chose one label or the other just isn't going to happen. Which sucks, but it is what it is. I'm thinking about the logistics here. Right now they input the grading info, etc., into the computer, and then probably send it to the printer in a fairly straightforward process, choosing one of three different colored stock pre-prints for the base, and then laser jetting that sucker. If they let everyone choose, that involves not only getting more stock in, but redesigning that system to account for six, rather than three choices. Or getting a separate printer - and where the heck do you put it? Or doing it by hand, with the paper stock in the printer; or having an "old label" day and a "new label" day. And what about the yahoos who want half old label and half new? It could get very complicated. So, I don't think the old label will be coming back. I think it's gone for good. Which is a shame. Aesthetics matter, dammit. |

Quote:Originally Posted by The_Curmudgeon The week of the 25th definitely seems like the most likely time to get a full response. Longer than I'd typically like, certainly but given the time constraints due to the show, I can understand. That and I doubt they'd want a press release undermining all their trade dress and marketing materials at SDCC all week. |

| Just so everyone is aware of what is happening at the CBCS office... We have read your comments, complaints, and are discussing them internally. We will be at San Diego Comic Con this week at booth #1101, where we will continue talking to our customers about the new labels. We have heard you. You are not being ignored. Once we have come to a decision, we will make an announcement. Until then, we appreciate your patience. |

Quote:Originally Posted by SteveRicketts Big thanks, Steve. If I were attending SDCC this year I'd drop by the booth and engage on the topic in person. I do have raw books that I want holdered and some reholdered (CGC), but will wait 'till this sorts out before making any decisions. I can always bring books to Chicago next month for direct submission (rather than shipping) if the eventual outcome is positive from my perspective. Really appreciate the update.  |

Quote:Originally Posted by DarthLego This dinner is just something I just organized myself, hence the "Unofficial" in my thread title, with an open invititation to anyone on the forums that will be in town for the convention. Steve took me up on it and it looks like a few others from CBCS will be able to attend as well. I'd imagine you could organize something similar for other shows. |

You know what, all this label talk and I totally forgot to voice my displeasure that the surprise was not @SteveRicketts jumping his motorcycle over the grading room shark tank.  |

| @matterus023, Hi Matt, actually, you don't necessarily need to come to the United States to understand all the different types of comics we have. If you've been paying attention on this forum, you have already seen that we have some really good comics, some average comics, and some comics that are not worth even threepence! |
