Hello all I am new to this forum so I am sorry if this topic has already been covered.

 

I recently bought a Pelikan M800 black/blue and was puzzled that it had an all metal logo on the cap.

I have contacted Pelikan today and this is what I was told, please see the attachment. Hope this is useful.

 

Best to all,

 

Bob

I'm sure that this has been discussed in other threads but it doesn't hurt to have the link. Thanks for providing it. Personally, I rather liked the older logo. And, since I'm well stocked with M800s and M1000s it is probably just as well.

Thanks for the replies.

I'm new to this game and hadn't seen this new type of emblem before.

I like the pen though, and was surprised how dark the blue stripes are in real life.

Mind you the UK is like Mordor at the moment so everything is dark I suppose!

 

Regards

Thanks for the link, lookfar. Pelikan management have always provided prompt responses to any questions I've asked about their products, both present and past :thumbup:

I like the new metal cap and logo. Why would you want plastic instead of a 24k gold plated cap? Definitely looks classier.

People are often more conservative than they think.

 

I think it looks good. Over two years or so in pens, I have changed my mind to what looks good, more than once.

Modern Pelikan nibs are excellent.

 

It's a myth that EN/PF/vintage nibs are better.

 

NICE. Now if Pelikan would only bring back the E|N nibs too...

I never really thought the old logo seemed appropriate for pens that cost hundreds of $, but there was something so nice and comforting about the understated character of the old logo. It reminded me of Pelikan's seriousness and committment to quality over other luxury pen brands that make so much of their corporate logo. I think the new logo is alright -- it just might add too much 'bling,' especially on the models (800, 1000) with larger caps. I'm about to order an m1000 so curious to see if it'll have the new logo.

I also like the modern Peli nibs, like M800 that is stiff, but buttery smooth. However I like more, if nib has a bit of flex, like modern M1000. Of course, M1000 nib is not a flex nib, but, for my taste, and everyday writing, a springy nib (like M1000) is the heaven. Souveran nibs from the 80's and early 90's are soft (or springy) too. They are great!

 

Pelikan vintage nibs, like semi-flex from the 50's are also nice, but, in my opinion, not for my everyday writing. I have 2 of those Peli from the 50's and just use them at home. They provide a great writing pleasure.

Will the matching ballpoints, mechanical pencils and rollerballs also get the new metal logo? I'm especially curious about the m400 ballpoints and mechanical pencils that have the push button mechanisms. Thinking of buying a set and would like it all to match.

It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
