I personally love the original logo. My PA gear and my cabs are all older and they have it. My new custom shop Cirrus (built early 08) has the new block logo though. I wasn't aware that they changed back.

i honestly think you cant top the orginal but heres this quickie:
Needs more lens flare.
Nothing wrong with the original - even if it divides opinion, at least it gets people talking. WIN!
Wow your really well informed,considering Meridian Mississippi is where most of Peavey products are made and unless someone changed the U.S. Maps Meridian is still there,unless your talking the
BXP and the import line.

It seems that many people (not everyone) really dislike the current Peavey Logo...

...so I thought maybe it'd be cool if we had a little re-design contest here on TB.
Post your Peavey logo ideas in this thread - maybe if there's some good ones Peavey will take notice. I'll kick it off with a quick idea...
Have fun!
IIRC, the company's founder and CEO designed the logo himself back when the company was no more than a gleam in his eye. The wisdom of letting an engineer get anywhere near graphic design notwithstanding, I'd hazard a guess that he's pretty attached to it.
Beyond that, the primary function of a logo is to provide recognition in branding, and IMO the Peavey logo accomplishes that in spades. For Peavey to change it now would be (IMO) incredibly foolish.
I love how people just can't let it go. They MUST pine for the old logo.
Why should they? Whether it's pretty or not is irrelevant. If a logo is doing its job, then it ain't broke; don't fix it.

Have a drink on me (if you're >/= 21). That's what my sentiment is, and I wrote it in response to the subscriber who said s/t about "call me an old ****, but" he likes the old jagged one. That's no "old ****." That's a person with perspective and respect for a fine company with a history of solid biz-ethics, as well as creds for being as American as all the good stuff we (Americans at least) know and love. And don't anybody rag on my two foreign addys: I was born in the USA and darn proud of it.
Yep, that's what I wrote: Peavey's old logo screams "MERIDIAN, MISSISSIPPI, USA" and, besides, those constant logo-changes reflect an (unjustified) sense that there's some less-than-good history that needs to be superficially spruced up with a new logo. C'mon, that's what some automobile companies we know so well did before the roof caved in on them and many of the rest of us.
Peavey does a whole lot less offshoring than most companies, and a whole lot less across-the-bordering as well. IMHO, that deserves props. People in the USA need jobs, and Peavey always presented itself, honestly, as an American company that was mighty proud to be that way.
Heck, with the dismal econ we're wallowing in, maybe Peavey could become a major employer of all those laid-off auto-workers, laid-off you-name-the-industry skilled and semi-skilled workers, laid-off-professionals.... Peavey, under the old logo and with the old 'tude, might just be able to help desperate people in our 50 States while turning into a MONSTER of a company: Any new hire will work to the max to retain a new job with such an honest, rock-solid company.
This might read like utopian ramblings but I don't care. The bean-counters certainly haven't made a dent in the psychotic umemployment-rate.
