| 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. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Kinzebac I didnt really press them for a time frame. If you have books that havent shipped back yet I would think you could put them on hold also. Im just glad I had the chance to put everything on hold. Before this whole label thing started I was getting my next 20-30 books ready to ship. Now Ill have to wait and see. |

Apparently bringing up the old label is now considered a microagression? It's probably because there's no need to open another thread on the subject. Maybe I could just post it here instead? Wonder how long before this will be deleted? Lol   |

| It's called beating a dead horse. The point has been made and answered. So what does bring it up, again, achieve? | ||

| Oh, so what was the official answer? They can't revert because of legality or is it simply an issue of pride? | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by Oxbladder This, I haven't even looked in the 'New logo- not good' thread because I can't imagine anything new is in there. And what I don't read won't bug me. The only reason I keep coming back here is because I've posted in the thread. Really, that's not even a good enough reason. Some like it, some don't. Change the label and I bet some will like it, and some won't. |

| @Evangelon nothing official but I would think that is it is a draw on finances to play around too much more and there are other things that are of much bigger significance to many other folks like a census, registry, website and forum fixes. To be blunt all of these other items mean more money than the losses they may take if people can't get over the label. They spent cash to do the change and spending too much more is just going to ensure that other items people want are going to get delayed or, possibly, permanently shelved. |

| While I am holding off to send books in until a different label comes out mainly because I don't care for the design, if that is even being considered by CBCS. I still feel we should give CBCS more time to address the issue, in the meantime, those who love the new label, continue to send your books in, those who don't, simply wait for an official word from CBCS. Life goes on.... | ||

| In the grand scheme of things it's not really a big deal, but "surprising" customers with a new label and appling it to orders that were already processing is unprofessional and reminiscent of the way CGC does business. The transparent and professional thing to do would have been to announce the new label, then apply it to orders processed after the date of announcement. | ||

| While I wouldn't go as far as saying unprofessional, ill advised is what I would say, I agree that it should have been announced. Collectors are an odd lot and very aesthetically motivated and messing with that is taking an unnecessary risk. Marketing a new service feature is what I would use to market the way they did. | ||

| Does anyone know the best way to contact cbcs? Do they answer emails more often than trying to call them or are they pretty good at answering phone calls? The reason I ask is I love their product and have an nyx3 graded by cgc in a green label that I want to convert to a red label with them. The only thing holding me back is their new label design. I know others have complained on here about it, and I don't want to repeat what others have already said, but I really can't get behind this new label. I understand it is only a label but I plan to keep this book in my personal collection and want to display it, but with the new label, it'd just be an eye sore for me. Anyway, I figure maybe if they get enough POLITE phone calls of concern about the new label, that maybe they can tweak it a little bit more. I'm sure there is a way to make it more eye appealing without huge drastic changes which may cut into their finances. I know a fellow board member on here showed his design for a new alternate label before cbcs announced their change, and it hit a lot of marks for eye appeal and still being classy in design. | ||

| They have a prototype (as you have mentioned). I do not know if the shown changes are what the actual final label will look like. In the meantime the new label is what you would get if you submit now. If you call them I think they would listen to any suggestions, within reason (and unless the new, new label has gone into production), and you might be able to get a timeline on when the new, new label is being released. | ||

| I held back submitting to see what the big announcement was, now I'm still holding back waiting to see what happens next. I'd bet a few others are doing the very same thing. At the very least, it should do wonders for T-A-T's! |

Evangelon private msg quote post Address this user | |
| My point was they don't have to work on a new label, they don't have to use resources or finances to make changes, they already have a winning label, the one they've used for the last few years. So they've legally rebranded their logo, slap the frigging shinny shield on the old label and call it a day. I really wonder what went behind this decision? Someone, with alot of pull made this choice, that much is obvious. CBCS usually doesn't operate without giving their customers full disclosure and notice on changes. Sounds to me it has something to do with legality, which demanded immediate change. "We heard you" doubt they were referring to the customers. | ||

| Okay. There has always been talk about the labels though. I have no clue how many people they talked to in person about it. | ||

| @Evangelon I did hear (and see) some complaints from people about the original label. I don't know how vocal they were with CBCS at cons. I didn't love the original label myself but in hindsight it seems like a good design that could have just been cleaned up a bit. I have no problem with their decision to re-design the label. Just could have been executed better. Both the design and the logistics of the switchover. |
