He's making some nice watches at decent prices but that logo is killing me! Good for a website and your inspection gloves in youtube videos, horrible for a watch face. Thanks for listening.

Re: I just can't get past the long island watch logo
I’m OK with it. What I don’t understand is the recent inclusion on newer models of the brand name. Seems “reasonable,” most companies do that, but brand names are also logos, and ISLANDER shown in plain font isn’t impressive. It’s also redundant as a brand identifier if using the round logo.

And no New York Ranger fan would ever buy one!

The brand name is on the dial because of the quite vocal group that hates the logo – not entirely unlike some who start threads about how they dislike it.deckeda wrote: ↑Fri Nov 04, 2022 12:26 pm I’m OK with it.

Marc has been clear that he's not changing the logo, so "at least put the brand name on there" has been a popular request.
No, I don't understand it at all.

Re: I just can't get past the long island watch logo
I agree on the logo. The hand going down to the right gives a ‘decreasing’ impression, which is not the greatest. Would much prefer just the word ‘Islander’ on the dial.
That being said, I do like Mark and his site, and have purchased from him a few times.
