    God I feel daft - I've only just spotted that the oval SACD logo is actually made up of an "S", an "a", a "C" and a "D" arranged like this:

    Sa
    CD

    Please tell me I'm not the only one to have not spotted this before.

    Matt.

    I'm partially sighted and it was the first thing I noticed about the logo - sorry to disappoint you ;)

    It took me a while to spot it as well. I think it's a lousy logo to boot.

    Nope.

    I'd not noticed it either.

    Thought it was just a squiggle.

    I hadn't noticed either. In fact I had to just do a quick google to find the logo to check it out:

    A bit too stylised for my little brain I'm afraid. Although once you see it it's rather obvious...

    News to me. Has the Missus spotted the subterfuge yet? How I felt for you, the number of times I've tried to slip something new onto the kit rack:)

    To be fair the reason I noticed it straight away was because I was looking at Sony's SCD1 when it first came out and the logo was probably (I can't remember exactly) displayed on a poster promoting SACD.

    You are not the only one to have not spotted this before.
    Despite buying SACDs almost since they came out I never realised either. :yikes:

    I spotted it when I bought my first SACD a year ago but it's a really stupid logo (stupid like most things Sony do) to use trying to introduce such a potentially good format to a world of CD buyers who really couldn't care less about new formats.
    Enthusiasts (like us) are really a "small fry" minority who the record companies could care less about and would prefer didn't exist.

    Stange this, if you'd asked me I would have said I knew already, but when I looked at the logo it was the first time I'd really looked at it like that. I think it looks quite cool - reminds me the The Eagles album covers for some reason?
