| CBCS, looking back at the history of your labels the facts are clear. You need to hire a professional experienced graphic designer to brand your company once and for all. It's clear to me you are using somebody who fancies themselves a designer but has no formal training or experience in the field. A good pro design usually only needs to be designed once and only slightly tweaked over the years. To do that you need somebody who understands timeless design. CBCS you have a great service and great case but your labels have never looked professional. If you realized that and fixed it, it would put you way ahead of the competition. This new Branding set you back a few steps. I hate to say that but it's true. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Thanos_of_Titan I have to agree about the new brand setting CBCS back a few steps. Although, in my opinion, the previous CBCS brand looked clean and professional. The logo, label, ads, website, etc all looked like part of the same quality service family. |

| It went down like this: CBCS boardroom meeting Tuesday - Person: Guys we're leading the way in the grading industry, we've had no missteps and everything is running smooth. What should we do to further our lead in the business? Other Person: I've been getting reports that our customers have been asking for the graders notes to be added to the back of the labels, others have mentioned we should make the logo a holofoil and darken the font a bit. Person: Sounds good, but I've got a better idea! Let's completely change the label! We could make it all shiny and rivety. It'll be great for business, just think of those super cool bank vault doors! Person 3: We don't want to take resources away from processing books, with all the business we've gained from the CGC case epidemic we can't afford to fall even further behind. People are starting to complain about our turn around times and our two day work week during this 9 month convention season. Person 4: I've got a cousin that just started graphic design in Highschool, he's really good, and would probably do the work for free. Every Person: Sweet! Let's do it! It'll be awesome! Person: Now that that's settled let's go take a lunch break. |

| Has anyone gotten a book back in the last couple of days? I've gotten different responses but according to my last email from CBCS customer service NO new labels are going out. Can anyone confirm this? | ||

| Lucky for me I only collect labels. Crack the case, Toss the comic, and I keep the labels. I have cornered the market on comic label collecting. | ||

| My bad, totally misunderstood what the CBCS rep was telling me about the new label. As far as I know according to my last contact, nothing is being with the new label right and all books are getting the "bolts and shield" label | ||

| I have seen books on eBay that I want, now with the bolts and shield. The label is really terrible, esp. with the older books. I hate to say it, but they look more like something pgx would develop. | ||
