bbarnhouse 0 #1 January 28, 2004 If PD produced the katana with the kanji symbol available for a few hundred dollars more, would you want to buy it ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 January 28, 2004 This was a poll option on PD's site for a while. Supposidly there was a lot of support for it, but the big-guys at PD didn't really care.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

diablopilot 2 #4 January 28, 2004 Nope. Wouldn't want the added expense or pack volume.---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumper03 0 #5 January 28, 2004 QuoteYep, but I wanna know what the dropzone.commers think. Is it going to make it fly better? I voted no. (but then, I won't even be thinking of jumping a Katana for a looooooooong while).Scars remind us that the past is real Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davelepka 4 #6 January 28, 2004 How about a few hundred dollars less for advetising their product? Nobody will be able to mistake your canopy for another model with that thingy on the bottom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supergeil 0 #7 January 28, 2004 Would not pay for that symbol! If it was a free option in different available collors maybe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #8 January 28, 2004 Kinda like the Cobalt huh? Hard to mistake those diamonds from the ground... Free? Sure as long as it was in other colors too, but I'll spend the money on jumps instead.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SkymonkeyONE 4 #10 January 28, 2004 Why would I pay any more for anything? I would think, though, that any sponsored athlete who is getting one would have the symbol on bottom. It draws attention to the parachute, much the way the logo on the bottom of my Sabre2 does. It's all about selling parachutes (which I am very happy to assist with).

AndyMan 7 #11 January 28, 2004 Would I pay a few hundred bucks for it? Absolutely not. Do I think it adds to the value of the camopy? Sure, just like Big Air Sportz and their triangles or Atair and their diamonds. Would I want it on mine? Yup, I just wouldn't pay a few hundred for it. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead.

Jimbo 0 #12 January 28, 2004 No way! Sorry, but there's no way I'd pay extra to advertise for PD (or anyone else for that matter). I think the new logo is pretty sweet, but no way I'd pay extra to have it on my canopy. - Jim"Like" - The modern day comma Good bye, my friends. You are missed.

theskydiveguy 0 #13 January 29, 2004 Agreed.. Logo = Nice.. But not worth extra $$ -> That translates into jumps! ~Jeff Monkey Brother #1 http://www.monkeybrothers.ca Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b1jercat 0 #14 January 29, 2004 I'm sure for the right bling bling it's available, but I hear it add drag to the canopy? Personally I'd rather have Big Johnson on my canopy. Just a thought, blues Jerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #15 January 29, 2004 When ordering my container I had the option of having the logo on both sides, the reserve flap and mud flap... ALL FREE. Why should a canopy be any different - yes it looks cool (I ticked every box on my rig) but at the end of the day we're only advertising it for them, it shouldn't cost.

lazyfrog 0 #16 January 29, 2004 I would get it if the price was a few hundred bucks les... On my saphire2 I don't even have the logos on the sides.

skybytch 273 #17 January 29, 2004 QuoteWhy should a canopy be any different Size. Complexity. Labor to put it on there. Container logos are embroidered. Even paying an embroidery shop to do the work, an embroidered logo of the sizes used on containers would cost about $10. Not nearly as expensive in materials or labor as sewing on the individual pieces of a design to a large area as PD does when applying a logo to a canopy. The couple hundred they are talking about is likely close to or even below the actual cost of putting the logo on the canopy. I've seen some canopies with artwork where the logo cost was more than the cost of the canopy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sdctlc 0 #18 January 29, 2004 It may look nice but I dont like to pay for providing an ad for the manufacturer. Not something I care to do and espically if I have to pay for that priveledge. I dont understand the concept of charging to put their logo on. If anything they should lower the cost for the billboard effect you would provide....
