People will complain about anything.

I think it originated from the UK?
That's a term I've heard for a long time!
We must mix in different social circles?! 🙂

Different ends of the country if your location is correct 🙂

Looks nothing like the Quake symbol. People get on my nerves..

Tramp stamps were popular maybe a decade ago. Its mostly a sign that displays that this particular female is not wife material and is a one night stand.

might as well be a bullseye

I live in the UK and have heard the term used a lot but it was made popular by US TV shows. HIMYM (How I Met Your Mother) even dedicated an episode to the topic.
While I wouldn't go that far to call it a 'Tramp Stamp', it does look like a crappy and cheap tribal based tattoo. However, my main concern is the use of a static colour within the logo. The colour itself is a horrible choice being a rather dull, putrid yellow. Is that really anyone's choice of colour for a logo design?
The new logo should have been a static colour much like the Corsair 'Sails' logo is with the option to have it in different colours. When I saw the new CG RGB-MX keyboards, the only thing that was an issue was the logo sticker thing that by all reports is not easily removable. I though Corsair missed a trick here as they could have had that as an LED logo much like the logo on the 'i' series AIO coolers and then it would light up in the chosen RGB colour of the user's choice.
As it is, it is a rather ugly 'Tramp Stamp' indeed on a very luxury product.

I think people are absolutely justified in not liking that new glyph.
When I saw it I immediately thought 'tramp-stamp' tattoo. I know, that's an unfortunate name - I know some women that are wonderful people and have such tattoos.
Anyway, I'm a big fan of the triple-sail. It just makes sense, and has become kind of iconic seeing how I look at it every day when I reach for my keyboard or mouse 🙂

Idk I dislike the gaming logo. The corsair sails were cool, stylish and not gaudy like most gaming designs. I understand that companies like to brand things and I'm sure it helps with sales but in this case with the backlash I kinda hope they just revert it.
I'm glad I bought my K70 RGB before they switched.

Lol, true that. Back tattoos on girls have a quite specific sexual meaning.

I have to agree, I prefer the Ship/Sail logo.

Ha, sheltered life eh? It's been here years. My sister got one years ago - and she's married with three kids at this stage!...

A decade I knew girls in the 70's that had those but they were mostly strippers that had a biker boyfriend 🙂.

Probably one of those things where you don't notice something until it's brought to attention, bet you'll hear it all over now.

It's not commonly used in my neck of the woods either tbh, and I'm in the north east UK.

Who cares about a logo? It's about the product not a stpid picture.. Seriously, ppl get upset about stuff like this?
LOL
