| This might as well be my first post. I'm really hoping this is a prank. Like, cbcs is pulling a April fools joke in July. I'm seriously crossing my fingers that this label is a gag and the real new one will be revealed later. If not, can we request the old label? And if not, get refunded for orders currently there? As a first time submitter, this really concerns me. I really really really don't want my books to have this label. This is pretty disappointing. I hope you guys are hearing that too. Please don't CGC this and just keep plowing forward with it. | ||

| Well, I may be in the minority on this but I really like the new logo. It pops, it's modern and up to date, it's got a cool kind of moder yet retro look. I like the foil appearance to it. It's going to become an instant classic in my mind. I just my books shipping today have the new logo! | ||

| My biggest dislike is the border trim. The rests doesn't seem too bad. The logo looks far better on the label than it does online. | ||

| That was alot of hype for a whole lot of nothing. Personally don't care for the change, and it definitely didn't deserve the promotion. Could have made actual useful changes to the labels, like putting the graders notes on the backside. I'd of rather seen my tat shortened. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by SilverAgeFan I cannot disagree more. I find nothing modern or up-to-date about this new logo. It looks like a relic; like an amateur version of the Unreal Tournament screen from 1999   |

| Here's another thing: CBCS has been in business for around two years, as I understand it. CGC has TONS of books out there, so CBCS is still playing catch up in terms of numbers. (And you got a HUGE boost with CGC's recent stumble.) To do that, you guys have to certify books like crazy and get a whole bunch more of your holders out there, build up a large presence in the marketplace. But now, after only two years, you are changing the label? Like another DC reboot? That doesn't make sense. Now you have to stop and reset all that progress. A new label means you start from zero, in terms of the actual numbers of books floating around in the market with the CBCS "look." Ten years from now, do you really want five different CBCS labels out there? With none having much penetration? Or, instead, do you want another eight years progress, adding to the two years with a consistent look that you already have under your belt? Do you think a serious collector, who *likes* displaying all his best comics, will appreciate a single, consistent look more? Or instead, will he like to see a progression of five, six, ten different looks? Call it a test. Ask for community input or votes. It's just paper ... throwing it out and reverting to the classic look is easy now. But will be more and more difficult as you start to actually use the bad labels. And if it isn't a bad idea to have two different looks out there (since this is the natural consequence of switching) then maybe it isn't a bad idea to let customers choose which style they prefer? |

| @dpiercy I'll concede that it looks better as a hologram but I still don't think it looks good. Unfortunately, even if it looks better as a holo sticker, the rest of the label still looks cheesy | ||

| Those rivets are so ugly. Seriously someone should be fired over this. CBCS, were you feeling so sorry for Aspen that you felt you'd take some heat off them by doing something even stupider? |

| Please give the option for the old label. I have books that have been sitting and waiting to be graded, and I would not have sent them if this was the label advertised. I've seen a ton of feedback in just a few hours...don't CGC this and pretend nothing is wrong. | ||

| Well, seems this will be the first test for CBCS regarding how valuable customer input is to them. It would be very easy for them, at this point, to say, "we have heard your concerns, and we will stick with the old label". Is that what they will do? I don't know, but it would differentiate them from the competition if they did. |

| I have to say that I'm not a fan of the new logo either, sorry to pile on. I understand what CBCS is trying to do, but the new label is a fail. The old one was understated, clean and simple. The label should not be the point of attention, the comic should be. The new one just looks silly. Sorry. | ||

| how about they do a multi design label and make a poll which one the consumer wants and go from there. Even better how about they do a contest on new labels and let us vote to which we would like to see on our case? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Captain_Aspirin I can understand how people are upset over this change. I'm not exactly in love with it either, but REALLY?? How can you compare this to the CGC Frankenslab disaster? This all boils down to peoples opinion. There were no comics harmed in the changing of the label design. CBCS has ALWAYS been open to hearing both negative and positive feedback. Let's reel it in a bit. |

| All I'm saying is to not ignore your customers, like CGC, when an issue arises. I do not recall mentioning anything about damaging the comics. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Captain_Aspirin Previous experience is the best indicator of future behavior. Are you aware of any instances where CBCS has ignored their customers? Or tried blaming CGC?? All I'm saying is don't make a nonissue an issue. I'm not aware of CBCS EVER ignoring their customer base. That has never been an issue. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Jesse_O We are all very grateful that you did not change the holder. This is no where near the magnitude of the 4/4/16 disaster. But seriously, you're a moderator and even YOU don't care for it. I hope that CBCS will continue to listen to their customers, and offer some sort of compromise. For example, allowing us to select the "new" or "original" label when we submit books. Your old label was absolutely perfect as-is. |
