I bet the logo will be better as soon as they find someone to steal it off of. I really love the Ross bow, but I will not be buyinga G5 Quest, even though they are the same bow, strictly because of the logo, the company image. Looks like if God forbid Ross goes down, I'll be joining you Mathews boys[:'(].

RE: Well it does not look good for ROSS
To answer alot of your questions here, NO the logo does not make the bow shoot any better. But let me ask this, if you were at a show and you walked up to 2 booths and they were both brand new bow companies both selling a similar bow with similar specs and you shot those bows and they shot exactly the same. But Booth #1 was done up very professional with backdrops and signage and an eye catching logo, while Booth #2 was just a guy with a photo copied brochure and a cut and pasted poster and a folding table, oh and the prices on both bows were exactly the same. Owner #1 was dressed in a collared shirt with the company logo on it and kahki pants while owner 2 was dresses in a t-shirt and jeans. Now tell me which bow you would go and buy? My guess it would be from Owner #1. Look at that and tell me good graphic design and marketing don't play into your decisions.
Look at the camo's on the market. Camo design especially for the BIG 2 is nothing more than designing something appealing to the hunters eye, yes the patterns may work but they can extend their sales to maybe groups of people who may not be hunters but think the look is cool. Just like the gangs and kids who thought the raiders logos were cool in the 80's and 90's but may not have been fans of the team at all.

I was thinking the same thing! Its a statement the Logo is plain and simple and at that it is. It does absolutely NOTHING!

Man who cares its just a logo......The logo isnt what does the job, its the man behind the machine...I could care less if a logo was in block lettering...

RE: Well it does not look good for ROSS
There are a whole lot of you that have no reason to ever possess a man card again.
Last week there was talk of truck stickers,bow string colors,pretty wraps.
Turn them in boys, man cards deserve better.
You guys sound like teenage girls going to a dance,are you all getting your plans made for the HIN spring bash,we wouldn't want a camo clash or god forbid one of you showing up wearing a real tree tee shirt and an Ultimate camo hat.[
]
Man purseswhile shooting will be optional.[:-]
Its a sticker for gods sake,get over it.[:@]
