How about Miller Lite?
Lol, pretty sure thereās going to be a trademark issue with that name. But then again weāre having them made in China, so it probably wouldnāt matter much.
Trademarks only apply within the same industry. Itās why nissan.com is owned legally by a computer company, even though thereās a large car company with the same name. I could even sell a line of mattresses called Nissan, without infringing on the trademarks of the other two. So, unless the beer company makes flashlights, āMiller Liteā is probably fair game.
Anyway, I like logos B and E, in that order. Itās too bad BLF doesnāt have a ranked voting system to express full preferences.
Well no problem with a BLFBARRYTOMEDJOZZMSDNFTHEMILLER branding I think, let me get a trademark for this swell sounding name
Without the Thorfire logo?
looks kind of ā¦ boring but I must say, is should have been in the options for sure.
booooo keep the eye of sauron!
I think āBā is easily the best, Iām shocked itās losing
E would be my second choice.
Either way I probably wonāt be in on this groupbuy, Iām getting bitter that all you peasants can so easily attain the treasures that us modders have previously had to ourselves :smiling_imp:
No we newbies were getting bitter that every time the SRK comes up our hopes for a hefty light are smashed by veterans who remember the quality ones.
Somebody needs to put XHPs or whatever in them
Hey, donāt look at me! Iāve never even owned an SRK. I just recently got my M6. I wonder if this 4-up reflector would fit in thatā¦ hmmm
Either c or d
BLFFIRE
Sure why not?
heheh, I am happy this is not part of the poll
like it as clean as possible
1 logo hmm ok since it seems all flashlights need a logo and I understand a manufacterer likes its name on it (and having BLF on it is a cool engraving I do like on a light)
but no specs or anything else, what if somebody mods it into a super thrower? that text would be out of place
Well phooey on you (JK)
I had already planned a SRK build and had began acquiring components when Miller got this rolling, so I figure Iāll do both. What allowed Miller to race past me was that I slowed in order to find the best host since thereās so little current info on them. The old recommended hosts have been āChinafiedā into lesser beings than they once were so Iām hoping the Thorfire will prove to be that host Iāve be seeking. Iāll know when I get my hands on the BLF Q8, and then Iāll have to be sure my build does even better :smiling_imp:

Iād prefer a balanced logo with some degree of symetry to the text like d or e. I would probably buy two, one to keep as-is and one to decapitate for use with a 3 1/2ā (88.9mm) head, quad xhp-50s, and extension tube. I understand how inclusion of the manufacturerās logo might appeal on that end but a un-corporate-tied logo might make it more distinctive. Something like an eight pointed star to represent the quad cell, quad emitter design. The Q8 could actually become a distinct product line. Good thing thereās little threat of legal action over the planned Audi Q8.
I prefer the larger Thorfire logo of choice āBā where it is a white outline and black fill, but I also prefer the white text on black background. I know āEā is white text on black and it has the larger logo, but the logo on that one is black outline and white fill. Then the outline is lost to the background, which is also black. Ultimately, I chose āDā but if I could have the logo from āBā on the āEā choice of white text on black, Iād rather see that. Anybody understand me?
I get you, but on E it didnāt look good with an extra white outlineā¦ What can be done is to keep E, and reverse the color of the logo so itās black fill white outline while keeping the separation with the border, havenāt tried that one yet but once the logo style is chosen I will make several versions of it; these are not final versions, many details need to be corrected and Iām waiting for a high res logo from Thorfire as well.
Like all the ideas.
That 8-pointed star instead of Thorfire logo, nice idea.
Barry is going to discus our wishlist with the engineers this week, because well that is slightly more important then a logo
We have not even asked for a high Res logo, will do tomorrow. (And tonight I am going to hack and slice in kolourpaint to see how A D and E look with that 8 pointed star instead of the Thorfire logo.
I would like (1) Q8 and (1) extra battery tube/tail cap please!! :cowboy_hat_face: I voted for āEā looks like a Club patch!!
Wrong topic
Oh man, sorry :person_facepalming: got to many windows open, he heee!
How about āBLF FEā I will put it next to my BLF TE, which I like very much by the way.
Flooder edition and thrower edition. Cant wait to see them side by side.
