What calibers?

It's just a lower. It can be any caliber you want.

Why the heck is it so hard for companies to come up with decent-looking logos these days?

Agreed. I just ordered a couple Spike's lowers, and that was one reason for going with Spike's (not to mention the great quality).

Because they don't have me designing it.

Seriously though, I do agree. The whole initial thing has been done before and there are plenty of good graphic designers out there for this reason.

I like it, if they do a run with the INGO logo, or INGO serial numbers like Calvary arms was going to do. I'm in for at least one, maybe two for a group buy. Maybe one otherwise anyways.

It's not the use of the initials that gets me, it's the font and arrangement. The "DM" in Old English looks like it should be made of diamond-encrusted platinum and hanging around some rapper's neck...

But then, they didn't ask me. Neither did Stag, DPMS, Oly, or any of the other companies with silly logos.

Funny stuff that is.

Yup must also agree. A 'no name' brand with a big logo carved in the side does not make me want to part with my cash.

tagged 4 wathicng for possible INGO group buy.

That is the worst lower engraving design I've ever seen. I'd pay extra to NOT have a DM that looks like a BM (if you know what I mean). I hope that the makers of the DM lower aren't too proud to be open to changing their logo.

I'm with shooter, it looks like something someone of questionable character would bling out and wear around their neck.

All things equal, I'd like a lower from an Indiana based company... but are things really that equal? In the market of competition, I'd take the best made lower for the lowest possible dollar.

I do not care for "extras" like a plastic box over a cardboard one. They get thrown out when I build the rifle. Cardboard should protect the lower just as well as plastic. Cardboard, I imagine, would be considerably cheaper. If they are worried about the price of the lower, why not use cardboard?

Reptiles and animals are over done as logos, I can see not going that route, wonder why they didn't use the logo from their web site ?

No doubt! That's much, much cleaner and more professional looking.

The box seems like a total waste. Its garbage that doesn't compost. The concept of a protective box is to be used to store the item safely but the concept of an AR15 stripped lower is to build a rifle that would be used, once you build it up it won't fit in the box! So now you have a box, well boxes are good but they come with cigars, shoes and all sorts of other goods. I see no value in the box and really its just a waste of money. Ship it in bubble wrap and save a buck.

I bet the plastic boxes cost pennies, so don't think they are causing too much extra cost.

I bet these guys will come out with a bunch of logo/engraving options.

I sure hope they can engrave Mitch Daniels picture on there

This isn't the post I had emailed to me, I thought it was right on and pro Indiana business.

I put the post in question in the abyss that is deletion....

...that post was so inflammatory and vocal, it would have probably turned this thread even more into an undesirable direction. I deleted it so as to keep the thread on-track.
