Aha, yes indeed!  It's our new corporate identity!  Kind of anyway...  It's on the website as well now, and there'll be a few other tweaks coming just to modernise the site a little.

Nasty fizzy lager replacing the Real Ale behind the bar, a 60" plasma screen in the snug and a jukebox playing tunes I don't recognise at a volume that prevents conversation?  ;) ;D

Was the recent price increase just to pay marketing consultants for a skinny logo?

Sleak and Slimline - Thats the most Un-Wargamer like thing I can think of.  Last Hussar gets lots of micky taking because he is not a "proper wargamer " Shape.  Now Pendrakens Logo is not "proper Wargamer" shape .

Ray says in quivering voice   "Things  were better in the old days, I liked my gas lights, tin bath in front of the coal fire, the logos were better then too!" ;D

The only thing that was definitely  better in the old days were that tights had not been invented so all the  Totty had to wear stockings and suspenders  :-bd :-bd

Firm I used to work for paid a 6 figure sum to some image consultant to dream up a new corporate logo. It was a 3D capital "O" casting a shadow.

Within half an hour of the suits proudly revealing it to the staff, with all the accompanying waffle about "Circle of perfection representing how good the firm was", some wag had turned it on it's side and sketched it up as a toilet, the shadow being the bog seat lid. Firm henceforth known as "The land of the bog seat".

The suits were suitably less than impressed when it got back to them. Dunno what they were bitching about, it raised morale no end  ;)

Do you think our grandchildren will have to be taught about these things we used to have called "seasons"?

"Some months used to be hot and dry, some were cold and very often you could get snow that lasted for a few days without the country coming to a halt."

"Don't be silly grandpa."

"Yers. It's true, and when I were a boy ..."

"You're not going to mention banana oil are you?"

"No, but political parties could be told apart by their polices and not just by their ties."

"What's a tie?"

Dear Leon,

I think in this so called "rebadging", you've missed an opportunity or two. Now, I may not have many years of experience of running a highly successful and beloved miniatures company, but that doesn't stop me having an opinion, nor indeed feeling permitted if not obligated to share my excellent opinions with you.

Personally, I like top right, but free free to use any or all of these ideas. I'll get my people to talk to your people.
