I like it when companies offer extra when you pay extra.
I was a 'member' of the ROG. I really liked the specialist website you got to use for updates ETC. The problem with ROG was that the website whilst very pretty offered about 7k a second download speeds. Bit of a pain when you're after a 300mb file.
With my Foxconn I get to use the Quantum Force site which has a bunch of employee enthusiasts knocking up special beta bioses to really push the hardware
Marketing logos are a huge revenue maker. some would say they make a brand be it good or bad!
Would have though GB would have done some market research on the logo first and it must have come back with some positive results.
My future ( if i ever marry our lass
) sister in law works in marketing. ( Guinness / Camelot etc.. ) and the money spent on branding is phenomenal. Those who have had a past good experience don't require the branding.
The logo is indeed a bit tacky parts of it are nice if they just used a single part of the design but its far to busy with alot of stuff going on any way this is a computer forum not a graphic design one
! I hope Gigabyte do produce some quality gameing boards id be very interested in testing them out.
