Default Cigarette gone too far with logo's

I don't have a Cig buthave always liked them. Does anyone else think they have embroiderd, stamped, stickered, etched and painted their logo too many times in one boat?

Love the paint and power but if you start counting logos it becomes apparent. A logo on each gauge, battery boxes, seats, keys, cabin doors, porta potti lid, etc.
People generally bag on Reggie for being gaudy but this logo thing is way out of control. CRT seems to be the only boat company doing it to this level. It is approaching the Harley craze of imprinting HD on every piece of the bike and rider possible!

Can you build a new Cig without everything logo'd? I would love to build a white hull with a single stripe (like older TG's/Cafes) with minimal logos. Build it with the intent of the least amount of logos possible.

Just write the check I'm sure they won't mind.

Each to his own, I personally think this rig looks good. It is no different then me saying I dont care for the one stripe down the middle. That's just not me, but works for you, all personal preference. I think this boat actually has less logo's than most of the Cig's that I have seen lately, they forgot 4 logo's on the headrests. Jeff

I agree, they have gone overboard with the logos. However, I don't have the coin to buy one, so I'm not the guy they need to worry about impressing.

It's called "promotion". Who's going to promote their product if they don't? Not to mention, the type of personality that buys a Cigarette, loves that kind of stuff. CanDo

Jass,

I like the paint scheme just not the overlogo'd parts. Just for comparison does Nortech logo this much? I have been on a 39V and don't recall this much labeling Just seats and sunpad from what I remember.

I counted over 40 logos on my 38 Top Gun. I'm sure I missed a few!
