Hey David, what is the latest word on the new and improved Ascend logos?
Yeah....I was just thinking about that yesterday while dusting off my 170's!
Please read the newly-posted announcement in the "Announcements" category. We'll take care of you asap!
Nice to know the new logos are ready! My surround speakers (CBM-170s)are wall mounted and it'd be hard to see the serial# on its back. I'm sure there'd be many people in similar situation. Is it okay to send the serial #s of just the front speakers?Quote:
Please provide us the serial number for each speaker.
We're pretty easy to work with. That's an understandable concern, Abhi. I would suggest that if you saved your invoice, you can find the serial numbers of each speaker there. If not, then don't knock yourself out removing the speaker from the mount. Just send us what you can and specify how many logos you'll need.
James,
On a similar note, my CMT-340 is a pre-production unit that has no serial number. :D Hopefully I can just put a note to that effect along with the serial numbers from my other 6 speakers?
Thanks,
Brad
Duly noted, Brad.
The envelope send us and taken care of you shall be.

James - how 'bout us Canucks? Not sure of the postage required for you to mail them up here to me (or how to go about obtaining US stamps up here, as I don't think Canadian stamps would work if point of origin was in the US). Would you accept a Canadian check (with US conversion factored in of course)?Quote:

The new one looks like the logo in the upper left corner of the site. The old one looks like an 80s metal band logo. :D :eek:Quote:

Thanks Curtis.
Just sent off for mine. Can't wait for them to arrive.....

Dumb question, but....
is a letter size S.A.S.E. required, or can we use a regular size envelope(smaller)?
This is a tricky subject. On the one hand, I can't just throw you Canucks a freebie at the expense of us hard-working Americans--just not fair. On the other hand, it's such a trivial amount of cash that a check is more of a hassle than it's worth.Quote:

If too much time goes by without coming across any US money, then just send the SASE.
Let's give that a try. :D

I guess it wouldn't be ironic then that the two guys who designed the old logo list among their favorite bands Metallica, Van Halen and Iron Maiden. :cool:Quote:

Okay jamesg...
I'm at work ready to drop the envelope in the mail and I realize I did not put the Serial No.'s with it........D'oh!!
Can you guys look up the No.'s and match them to me? (1) pair CBM-170's.
Thanks
I understand the logos aren't free but is the market for the new Ascend logos such that proof of serial numbers is needed? I guess I should be watching ebay to see what the highly collectible Ascend logos go for. Hmmm, I wonder what the "retired" logo will fetch.
" Hmmm, I wonder what the "retired" logo will fetch."
Before I put mine on ebay, I feel I owe it to my fellow forum members to offer two retired logos at substantial discount. For all of you it's just $29.95 and that includes shipping and insurance. For the next 48 hours, no additonal charge for our Canadian members.
Hurry! This offer is limited to the first victim, I mean caller.
:D

Did I detect a note of sarcasm in the last few posts? :eek:
Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them. :p
Mag, I'll let the serial # thing slide just this once. Let's not make a habit of it, shall we everyone?
Thank you thank you thank you!! I'm humbly greatful, Sir!
Hi Guys,
Yeah.... I know.. the Serial # thing is somewhat of a hassle. Your customer ID off your invoice from us would work just as well, provided you let us know just how many new logos you need...
The problem is not the expense (our logos are made in the USA and are not inexpensive), it is simply a matter of inventory. Hate to run out of logos well before our forecasts indicate :rolleyes: ... Probably happen anyway ;)
Hey quinn and bikeman, I've got a few of the "old ones" laying around too.. let me know what you fetch on Ebay...
Dave you trying to kill our market? It is not "old ones" it is "Classic Ascend" logos.
Will be mailing off my request for 5 new logos tomorrow. Has anyone had any problems removing the logos, any tips?
Well -I have 50 pesos from my last trip to Mexico - but that won't do it either I don't think :)Quote:

I realized I should have written "envelope" instead of "SASE" if you can't scare up the US change for a stamp.
Two stamps cost $0.74 American until the rates go up. Again, it's not about the money (doesn't that mean it's always about the money!?), it's about being consistent. If you drop a dollar bill in the mail, I'll provide change.
Just peel off the old logo. You'll see a pattern of glue points on the grill fabric. Remove the backing from the new logos (a utility knife works well, as does a fingernail). Align and center the new logo over the old glue points. If you would like to better secure the logo to the grille, turn the grille over and apply a few drops of "school" type clear glue. Leave the grille inverted as the glue sinks into the fabric for 30 minutes or so while it dries.Quote:

Are the new logos acoustically transparent like the "Classic" logos?
Any estimates on turnaround time for the new logos once Ascend receives our envelopes? (gimme a break........this will be the only thing I have received from Ascend since my 170's 2 1/2 years ago!)
Turnaround time on logos:
The amount of time it takes USPS to deliver the envelope from us to you!
[I've kicked the procrastination habit--SASEs I receive are going out no later than the next day....]
James,
Is it safe to assume that the 170s I just ordered will have the new logos?
Thanks,
JR

All speakers shipped after the middle of January 2005 have the new logos. Hope you enjoy!Quote:

Got 'em yesterday when I got home from work.
A bit larger than the originals, but much more hi-end looking....nice!
Peeled off the originals, lined up the new ones and stuck them on. No problems at all removing the old logos.
Thanks Ascend!
Received my new logos today in the mail! Thanks to David, James, and Co. for your customer service before, during , and after the sales. Excuse me, I have some rebadging to do!
Close to the Edge is one of my all-time faves. Siberian Khatru is the definition of a$$-kicking music. Steve Howe is hands-down the most underrated guitarist in rock history. All my most humble opinions, of course.
Re Logos: Glad to be o' service!
Man, those are some sharp-looking logos! Is it my imagination or do my Ascends sound EVEN better now? James, glad to hear you're a Yes fan; if you have not seen the dvd "Yes Symphonic Live" do yourself a tremendous favor and get this disc as soon as possible!
Thanks for the tip, Ben. We Yes fans must stick together. I shall consult the Oracle of Amazon forthwith.
Just for the record, the new logos DO NOT influence the acoustic performance of the speakers in any way. We now return to our regularly scheduled programming....
