The old type cap seems more popular.

Now that's what I like to see!

 

I'd really rather they went back to pressing the seal into the resin like they used to do. That was "way kool!"

I just received my first Pelikan with the new logo. A green stripe M400. I really do not care for this new cap logo. It looks cheap and too flashy. I'm returning it.

 

Why does everyone think it's metal? I bet it's simply plated plastic.

 

I agree with the prior comment, an embossed or engraved logo on black plastic is the best.

There are plenty of older M400s out there with the pre-2010 logo if that is more to your liking. Pelikan thought that the change would boost sales by adding a bit of elegance and distinction. I didn't care for it at first but it has certainly grown on me. Sorry that you didn't care for the aesthetics of the pen.

😲 that's a cruel picture! So that's where all the old M800s went ...

I too prefer the older engraved Pelikan logo, but as it's my favorite brand I'll take whatever they dish out.

That said, there is room to dream...like the embossed, high relief, gilded Sailor end cap logo or the floating end cap logos of TWSBI or Mont Blanc Starwalkers!

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >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,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. 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.
