Q6/Q8 logo/marking what should we propose to Thorfire?

Hey, don’t look at me! I’ve never even owned an SRK. I just recently got my M6. I wonder if this 4-up reflector would fit in that… hmmm

Either c or d

BLFFIRE

Sure why not?

heheh, I am happy this is not part of the poll :wink:
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 :stuck_out_tongue:

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 I’ll do both. What allowed Miller to race past me was that I slowed in order to find the best host since there’s so little current info on them. The old recommended hosts have been ‘Chinafied’ into lesser beings than they once were so I’m hoping the Thorfire will prove to be that host I’ve be seeking. I’ll know when I get my hands on the BLF Q8, and then I’ll have to be sure my build does even better :smiling_imp:

I’d 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 1/2” (88.9mm) head, quad xhp-50s, and extension tube. I understand how inclusion of the manufacturer’s 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 there’s little threat of legal action over the planned Audi Q8.

I prefer the larger Thorfire logo of choice ‘B’ where it is a white outline and black fill, but I also prefer the white text on black background. I know ‘E’ 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 ‘D’ but if I could have the logo from ‘B’ on the ‘E’ choice of white text on black, I’d rather see that. Anybody understand me?

I get you, but on E it didn’t look good with an extra white outline… What can be done is to keep E, and reverse the color of the logo so it’s black fill white outline while keeping the separation with the border, haven’t 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 I’m 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 :wink:

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 “E” looks like a Club patch!!

Wrong topic :wink:

Oh man, sorry :person_facepalming: got to many windows open, he heee! :smiley:

How about “BLF FE” 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.

Uh… an 8-pointed star? WHY? :confused:

Some crude hacking and slicing of the top three vote receivers lol

Uhh…if you’re asking for opinions I like the thorfire icon much better. Plus thorfire is the one building the light (so far) so I see no problem with them getting a little nod on the branding.

same here emarkd, hence the designs in the poll

How about milf.ire

Question from the uninformed…

I am curious about the name “Q8.”

To what does it refer… from where does does it originate?

Thanks
