Those look dope there! Don't look the same as what we're all up in arms over, though, do they?
Edit: Nevermind. They're the same, didn't see that they go with the large round label for the larger pieces. Still, they look better here, perhaps b/c of lighting, than in the video I saw Benzito post earlier.
Edit 2: Nevermind, again. They haven't been baked on yet. No wonder they look a bit different.
Edit 300: I think the skinny label would be much more fitting for the HT, IMO. Don't know if there is any going back at this point, though. Keeping fingers crossed and will wait till I see it in person before I get my hopes up too high, or get too critical. Still more concerned with functionality than aesthetics.

All the folks commenting on Instagram seem to love the new logo! I'm not a fan...but...If any fanatics are interested I'm totally willing to trade my EB tube for an unhappy fanatic's!!

i wish that logo covered more... LOL just kidding.
man, that logo looks nasty.. it looks like a sticker, but
.. it would be better if it was sandblasted or at least not a solid logo(outlined).. or even better, not there at all.. i'm kind of tired of that logo being pimped out on products anyway.. i personally know at least 4 people (new age hippy types) that went out and got that tattoo'd on themselves w/in the last year 
.. and then bitched at each other for 'copying' each other.. but they all got it because they saw some one else w/ one, and realized it was 'cool'.. for no real reason they can explain.. monkey see monkey do, kind of thing.. anyway, i don't think the hydratube needs a flower of life on it.. clear (as possible) would always be better IMO.

Sticker? Looks more like stickers, as in 3 of 'em. Call me narrow, but IMO that piece is ugly.

These past few pages are making me laugh my ass off. The response to these sticker things is hilarious. Lol @Buildozer's anecdote. Lol @ the piece with 3 sticker things on it. Lol @ the picture with like 30 pieces all with stickers thrown on. Lol @ having a giant sticker block half the water action. Swagger really fucking likes their new stickers.
Okay, sorry.. But really, I don't think any fanatics want one baked on their hydratube like that. Good thing everyone is saying so earlier rather than later.

I am a graphics designer and work in marketing... that logo is awful. wow. Look at this picture: http://instagram.com/p/eYBl2DNY_S/# I have a swagger double and I really like the way the hand written logo is drawn on the neck. its subtle and elegant. The new logo looks very amateurish and garish.

I'm on board with this, too.I liked the minimalist Swagger logo too
Don't know that I would have gone that far. As I stated before, I liked the logo as a "sticker." But it's amazing how that opinion changes when you start telling me how many and where I gotta put 'em.
Don't know what'll happen here. I fear it can't be undone for our (or most of our) HTs.
EDIT: Could we possibly be over-reacting? I mean, why does it seem that everyone but us here at FC just LOVES these new perm. labels?

In the case that these do end up on indiegogo glass, what is the procedure to remove it? Soak in PBW every night for a few weeks?

I think it's pretty damn cool because it has the water action area transparent and it has great coloring and custom work everywhere else. I was half suspecting something like this when I bought the $1k perk, but what we have is awesome too. Hopefully this little decal debacle will be solved for our VXL Hydratubes.

I know recently there was a bong for sale on MassDrop.com by a brand named FLO.
Over 100 people agreed to "go in" on the order.
Every individual had the option @ purchase to choose: "Decal" or "No Decals"
Now, I'm not necessarily for expanding out logistics for vapexhale..but it certainly has been done before.

That is the problem, here, if you ask me. In that "30 piece" picture, the beaker bong on the far right is the one with the label applied most appropriately...at the very top of the tube, far away from the percolACTION!

since i made the first comment, i'll post up again
i'd prefer blank
i'd prefer old small swagger label
i'd prefer the label was more clear, w/ only the outlines & swagger in color and
NO SQUASHING THE LABEL. by altering the tree of life you are in fact destroying it.
and yes swagger is a dated term. they should rename,
outside of that, it looks great.

and honestly, i have doubts that a group of blowers called swagger has anything to do w/ sacred geometry. it seems pretty incongruous.
but i agree w/ @Vapinghole , that video is the best by far of the early bird perc!

I routinely disappear non sandblasted logos in the cleaning process. Limonene will fuck any normal applied logo right the fuck off you glass. This 'baked' deal might be different.
I'm perfectly happy with my OG showercap but mostly use vapes upside down on a bubbler can. With a mobius logo discretely blasted or some custom honeycomb bubs, that I prefer actually. No logo by design.
Anyhoo, I'm not in this particular game. I got in the crowdfund for two EVOs. No glass. Don't see using the dry mouthpiece .
I would way prefer having two heaters. I never ever again as long as I fucking live want to have to spend another six or seven months without a cloud. This hiatus is having some pronounced negative health effects.

i have used aircraft paint stripper (that's what it was called IIRC) to strip powder coating off of steel.. and it worked great.. came in a spray can.. and if i understand correctly, powder coating is baked, and very tough.. i bet it would likely work for logos on glass.. i'm sure there are other options.. but i bet the odds of this working are pretty good.

The new logo on the pinnacle tube is some kind of glass enamel label, CLR wouldn't touch it... I still vote little logo
