SACD logo

[Matt F]

God I feel daft - I've only just spotted that the oval SACD logo is actually made up of an "S", an "a", a "C" and a "D" arranged like this:

Sa
CD

Please tell me I'm not the only one to have not spotted this before.

Matt.

I'm partially sighted and it was the first thing I noticed about the logo - sorry to disappoint you

 

[Slaphead]

It took me a while to spot it as well. I think it's a lousy logo to boot.

 

[MO!]

Nope.

I'd not noticed it either.

Thought it was just a squiggle.

 

[MartinC]

I hadn't noticed either. In fact I had to just do a quick google to find the logo to check it out:

A bit too stylised for my little brain I'm afraid. Although once you see it it's rather obvious...

 

[Dev]

Noticed it straight away.

 

[chris.gally]

Only recently noticed it myself... :shame:

Chris

 

[Philip King]

Nope never spotted that either :shame:

I'll stick my head back in the sand now....

News to me. Has the Missus spotted the subterfuge yet? How I felt for you, the number of times I've tried to slip something new onto the kit rack

Always looks like something off a Led Zeppelin Tour jacket to me!

 

[Dev]

To be fair the reason I noticed it straight away was because I was looking at Sony's SCD1 when it first came out and the logo was probably (I can't remember exactly) displayed on a poster promoting SACD.

 

[garyi]

Led Zep? Surely Yes.

What's SACD?

Steve, I do ask myself that question, quite often also

You are not the only one to have not spotted this before.
Despite buying SACDs almost since they came out I never realised either. :yikes:

I spotted it when I bought my first SACD a year ago but it's a really stupid logo (stupid like most things Sony do) to use trying to introduce such a potentially good format to a world of CD buyers who really couldn't care less about new formats.
Enthusiasts (like us) are really a "small fry" minority who the record companies could care less about and would prefer didn't exist.

Logo here in case people wonder what the conversation's about. I only noticed it after staring lovingly at my Marantz DV8400 reviewed here.

Mine not good enough for you?

Stange this, if you'd asked me I would have said I knew already, but when I looked at the logo it was the first time I'd really looked at it like that. I think it looks quite cool - reminds me the The Eagles album covers for some reason?

sorry i quite like its almost art nouvea in style..an antidote to the typical 'techno' style of logo coonected with digital and hifi...
