Just something thats niggling me...... WotC change the age old FR logo for 3rd ed. Realms.... but its never on the spines of the products! Instead they use some bog-standard font rather than show off the recognised logo!! why?!
Same with the new D&D logo. At first all the core rulebooks had the logo on the spine, but lately they are just say "Dungeons and Dragons" in a very bland font. I have the complete set of D&D rulebooks and they dont look nice at all on the shelf! messy! ... compared to the revised AD&D books which were all black with gold text and the AD&D logo at the top..... beautiful, like a good quality set of encyclopedias 
Yeah i know, im ranting about something trivial  But its all about image and product recognition.

| I know what you mean, Rad. I believe they didn't print the FR logo on the spines because it's simply too detailed for that much of a miniaturization. I have no idea why they made the change to D&D books, and it's annoying me too. Arrgh... |

Yayyyy  I thought it was just me being obsessively picky 
Although I can understand what you say Arivia, they managed to get a much smaller 2nd ed. FR logo onto the spines of much thiner products before.... so come on WotC, why the cheap-skate 1 color font instead of the 4 color logo eh?! |

| But compare the larger logos off any 3e release and any 2e release. The details on the 3e logo are much smaller, while the 2e logo has larger details. It would look like a shaped box around some unique text. |

im sorry but somone has to say it all goes back to money. It is cheaper in the long run. In doing this they make more of a profit. I have been ashamed of WOTC for this I pray to the gods that greenwood does not think the the same way. |
Some believe there is something more after death, if you really want to find out... go kill yourself and stop pestering me. |

Hi Rad.
You'll probably find find that WotC forgetting to put the FR logo on the products will result in a 3.6 edition of the books. I mean, now they've done all of the corrections  they are going to need some reason for people spending more money (or am I being excessively cynical?) |

hehehehe I wouldnt be surprised in the slightest At least we can be grateful that WotC have kept the format of the FR spine and cover art templates the same..... unlike the messy D&D rulebooks! urgh! |
