Hi guys,
I'd be interested to know your thoughts. I think it's time to change the logos on the HT rods. I heard a comment from the USA that "Hot Torpedo" sounds "gay" Which I found quite funny - however it's common practise for companies to have different names for the same product around the world (look at cars for example). The name "Hot Torpedo" came from the Spinal Tap movie - my sense of humour and not taking life too seriously...
Anyway I'm looking to simplify the look a little bit. Maybe change the Hot Torpedo logo to a simple HT906. I'm also looking to change the Sexyloops logo to a more simplified Sexyloops logo, probably without the loop. Possibly keep that all on one side and the owner's name on the other for example "SEXYLOOPS HT906". Not sure really, which is why I started the topic For customers who choose not to have their name on the rod maybe we have a small SL logo on the opposite side, not the full one (or a fish, or a skull and crossbones, or a flag... all of which have been done!). I'm looking for the understated however, not the overdressed!
The blank will be the same, the fittings will be the same. I might look at different colour whipping options. We also have a few build experiments which I can't tell you about at the moment! Maybe standardise orange whippings on the Instructor rod.
We are thinking of calling this the "200 series", since Lee has built to number 196 - excluding various builds which utilised different numbers and the HT10 series which started from 1. That doesn't include the Hungarian or Trevor's builds either - we're actually on about 400 but that's not the point
Naturally for those of you wanting that all your rods look the same we still have plenty of the current labels.
Thank you for any thoughts that you may have!
Cheers, Paul
