<div class="IPBDescription">Are they morons or just jackasses?</div> I was browsing the <a href='http://www.thermaltake.com/cpucooler.htm' target='_blank'>thermaltake</a> website, like I always to because I am a huge nerd with nothing else to do, when I knowticed a feature they have implimented that I never remembered being so stupid before. As some of you have probably knowticed, thermal take uses a logo system so the features of thier products are easy to recognize, but on further inspection you will realize that these logos are a FRIGGIN BUNCH OF CRAP. Not that they are ugly or anything, its just that there is like a million logos, with each new product getting at least 4 new logos being made for it, so you might as well just read a spec list since the logos are compleatly and utterly unessicary anyways.
For instance here is one of the logos for thier new case:
<img src='http://www.thermaltake.com/images/shared/marks/new/sharkstyle.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
Clearly you can tell what that is, can't you? well let me tell you, it is a 'shark logo' which is obviously compleatly nessicary, because when you first catch a glimpse of the logo you haven't read the name of the case or looked at a picture of the case yet have you?
For another example:
<img src='http://www.thermaltake.com/images/shared/marks/new/12025fan.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
This is the '12025 Fan' logo, and this
<img src='http://www.thermaltake.com/images/shared/marks/new/LEDfan.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
is the 'LED fan' logo, it is obviously crystal clear what the difference is just by looking at the logo is it not?
Here is some more logos:
<img src='http://www.thermaltake.com/images/shared/marks/new/usb.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> The 'USB 2.0' Logo
<img src='http://www.thermaltake.com/images/shared/marks/new/Performance.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> the 'preformance' logo
<img src='http://www.thermaltake.com/images/shared/marks/new/universal.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />the 'Universal' logo
<img src='http://www.thermaltake.com/images/shared/marks/new/4-in-1.gif' border='0' alt='user posted image' />the 'four in one cooler' logo.
The stupidest thing about all these logos? you would be hard pressed to find some of them used more then once, on the entire site, ever, SO WHAT IS THE FRIGGIN POINT? Personally I just think they like thier costomers to feel patronized.

What a retarded logo system...
Agreed.
This logo system doesn't seem to serve any purpose.

The others could mean something, but a shark logo?
