Seeing as how all the coolers are massive(using this as an indication of heat output) I think the Sea Hawk is really going to be a good solution finally. It was decent before but not really worth the premium.
Kinda like the Fury series I guess

So finally after sooo many years they get rid of the red but still cant manage to use 3 brain cells between them to flip the logo/image on the back-plate
in case horizontal placement = logo underneath no need cant even see it .... but in a vertical mount case back of card visible logo upside down ... OCD kicks in !!!
maybe tom can give them a ''hint'' when he gets to review them

I think you need to relook at the images. If any of these cards shown were placed in my current rig horizontally (don't have a vertical mount spot) then the msi logo and dragon would be facing me the correct way (aka readable). They would not be wrong - this is the logo and dragon the backplate, no one cares about the fan spot unless vertical mounted.
As for vertical mounted.....what is the point as you can't see it anyways as the backplate is facing the mobo. if this was about the front logo with the fans then sure but that is typically correct.
Unless I missed something in the bit you typed out I think you typed faster then you looked at the images
no disrespect, if I misunderstood what you meant then my apologies.scubasteve

no its ok........ ''but'' 
always a but ... be obvious when i say vertically mounted i mean cases that have a horizontal mounted motherboard other wise my rant would be one of a idiot , should of made myself more clear on that point i guess
eg:
logo/image upside down and even worse if its lit up
so if you get my drift its cost nothing to actually flip it, as you said if mounted horizontally yer they would face you, but otherwise as in the image above its always upside down and the asus ones look even worse
should at least try do it in a way were they make it so the image can be flipped round ... maybe on just some high end cards or print out a certain number

and there is plenty of cases where the motherboard is mounted horizontally , a lot that are above average price as well (what ever that is these days)
henc that's when the ocd kicks in
did that make scene or was it a waffle again lol
altho there is places like this if you cant make one yourself but that will just add up extra spondoules to the now obnoxious prices of cards --> https://www.jmmods.com/gpu-backplates

Yes on test benches it can look weird if you're looking from the end however Most Veritcal mount GPUS (that is, mounted in a horizontal mobo or by using risers have the fans face the window side of a standard tower so that's why they put the logos on the right way up for conventional mounting.
It's to appease the 95%+ (just a guess) of users that have a standard kind of setup.
I do agree it would be nice if you could put them on yourself although labels can peel after time in a hot environment. My 980 strixes had nice coloured accent labels for the front so I have red on one and black on the other so I can tell which card I bought first. They've survived the test of heat and time so it can't be that hard.
