Spot-on, I could not agree more fully!If they HAD to muck with it, they shoulda done this:
But alas the new logo is exactly as it appears on the SBGA031 photoshop above...
It's somewhat obvious. I'm not sure who's running their design department.If they HAD to muck with it, they shoulda done this:

Sadly that probably wouldn't be practical in volume. The "Seiko" on many Grand Seiko's is raised above the dial slightly on little posts - feasible when the text is all joined together, but not when each letter is separately rendered.If they HAD to muck with it, they shoulda done this:

Kind regards,

Put in a reservation after they announce it at Basel :-!Hmm, SBGW033...

Yes me too. The "GS" looks really nice (and was used historically). I think the "SEIKO" up the top, and the "GS" down the bottom without the "Grand Seiko" in gothic font would have been great. The thin visual width of the "GS" also helps to make a nice contrast to the movement-related dial text so it doesn't look like just a MS word "justified" block of writing.
I don't think so...
A few models had "Grand Seiko" but lots didn't. No one expects "International Watch Co." on the dial...
I posted this picture in another thread of a vintage grand Seiko a while back. I don't even know if it's a genuine GS or not, but if it is, then it proves that besides the first GS posted earlier in this thread, throughout history not all GS had the large Seiko logo at the top, and that Seiko have chosen to omit the large Seiko logo in the past.

They were badly influenced by the word salad Rolex dials.I always thought that was odd tho.
I'd think it was a reason why they started explicitly stating "Grand Seiko" on most dials.
Citizen's (weirdly named) "The Citizen" line is still out there and just as discreet as ever:

Even more so...for the person with a strong desire for pretty expensive watch that really is "just a <<Your Brand Here>>"

I've been patiently waiting for a few years to see if they'll drop the power reserve on more of the solar models. The still don't compete with mech movements, but quartz is...and has been...another matter altogether.
