Damn guys , give the guy credit where credit is due. SWEET parts Chris. I will buy some for sure.
The majority of DSE's logos are on stickers, which can be removed by the end-user if desired. On the hinges I've never noticed their logo, it's so small it doesn't stick out.

I understand where Chris is coming from, and he has every right to establish a logo and use it on his parts. I don't mind subtle logo's but some manufacturers go overboard in my opinion. Something small on the hinges wouldn't be an issue with me, but on those door jam vents it's quite distracting in my opinion. Instead of looking at the billet vent my eye immediately was drawn to the logo, initially thinking it was a scratch or something.

I think it would be smart on Chris' part to get feedback on this. The bottom line is to sell as many parts as possible, and if he's losing sales because of a logo he would like to know I'd think. I know Ron Davis has dramatically reduced their logo, mostly from the feedback I would guess. I will buy Chris' hinges when they're available for my car, logo or not, but prefer either none or at least a subtle logo., not something that is the first thing your eye is drawn to rather than the part itself.
