It's just a stock vector image I found. But I love the thought of Chad Smith throwing up at the new logo![]()
I think Chad would find that amusing! But the gang at Sabian, not so much.

I sincerely hope someone at Sabian reads this entire thread. The reaction to their new logo has been merciless, and for good reason. They need to understand just how hated it is. For some reason, I get the feeling their heads are way too far up their arses to grasp just how bad the reaction has been.

"HHX is the bomb, they are dark cymbals that cut."
"B8X cymbals are hammered for more projection and complexity than any other B8 - So you'll get noticed on stage. And the O-Zone crashes work in *any* set up - They're that rad."
"SBR Yes, these are brass cymbals. No, they don't suck."
I feel like I need a shower.
Sorry, Sabian, you guys are way off the reservation.... But I guess that is the problem with things that are "UNBOUND"-they have no boundries...like class or style or dignity.....lol.

Not as if...they DID hire a 2nd rate ad agency. They promoting themselves is just as bad.It’s cringeworthy, if this was an April 1st gag, i’d say well played. But it’s embarrassing. It’s almost as if they hired a 2nd rate ad agency and reminisced about the good ol days while high like 19yr olds.

A video of DWs Almond set was posted the other day. JG, like him or not is talking about the history of how the set came about. He’s pandering to emotions and trying to get you to fall in love with the looks and history of the model. Contrast that with Sabian’s new F this, screw that and FU if you don’t understand it campaign and they too are pandering to emotions.
All I can think of is the other half of the Zildjian family has got to be loving this. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if they dug in deep and went for a hard core Zildjian legacy and history campaign.
You forgot - AA "Tight, Controlled, but loud AF when you hit it hard."
Paragon - "Designed by Neil Peart - Need we say more?"
"AF"? Really? Copy by Twitter.
Meanwhile, namechecking Peart -- did they momentarily forget their "they can have the past, we're taking the FUTURE!" ethos?
I just ordered a Sabian from the GC up the road for pickup later (it had a really good price); if it has that stupid-ass logo on it I'm going to return it before I even leave the counter...
