Corsair's new logo is now no longer the new logo

There's been some fallout over Corsair's decision recently to change their familiar "pirate sails" logo to the new logo that looked like two crossed swords.  Fans of Corsair were not happy about this and voiced their opinion quickly, stating that they wanted no part of it.

Today, Yellowbeard, who is one of the prominent members of Corsair's tech marketing group, made the following announcement on their forums:

Our customers spoke, we listened. 


We hear You.

As many of you know we launched our new Corsair Gaming line of peripherals this week. We’ve received a ton of feedback on the products and new logo. We are amazed and humbled by the passion our customers have for the original Corsair sails logo. The ship + sails are here to stay and will continue to be used on all Corsair PC component products. 

However, we know many of you prefer the classic logo on our keyboards, and you’ve made your voices heard. For those of you looking for the new K70 RGB with the original sails logo, it’s currently available in North America from Newegg – just look for the SKU CH-9000063-NA. What’s more, as a direct result of your feedback, we will continue to sell and manufacture the Vengeance K70 and Vengeance K70 RGB with Cherry MX Red switches, with the sails logo, via select retailers and Corsair.com.

That didn't take along at all.

Corsair is one of the leaders in PC components, especially with keyboards, mice, and memory.  Their fans were not happy, talked about boycotting, and now they have their wish.

Take note of this, every other company:  If your fans aren't happy, you need to listen to them.
