I was rather proud of that logo as a bit of her was in that logo.
 
To further the explanation of the logo....   (Truth is I should write a book about this experience)  When Heir Audio began, it was began with little money, and on the scale of things, some would say it was began with no money.  Just a closet for a lab, old dusty tools that I dare say were nicked from a "lost and found" bin and we didn't even have a microscope in the lab at the time. 
 
In fact about the first 20 CIEMs were built in a bathroom, as the bathroom would contain the dust, and a small space heater was adequate to keep the room warm.
 
But in relation to the logo, we did not have a laser machine, as at the time the cost was too high for one. But we felt we could afford a vinyl cutter. (Essentially vinyl cutters make "stickers.")   Thus we were subject to the restrictions as to what a vinyl cutter could do, which isn't much. Also keep in mind, the logo will be placed on a surface area not much bigger than the size of a jelly bean, it is difficult for a vinyl cutter to make small intricate cuts, a laser can do a better job, but even it has limitations.
 
So, the logo was born, from the hands of a disabled mother, from the restrictions of a small bank account, and from a Head Fier that dared to follow his dreams.

Hello Wizard,
 
I am always quite astonished at the fact that you would share such things. Apparently quite a few members admire / enjoy this.
 
I am will certainly get much hate for saying this, but I usually like to talk my mind : I think the headfi forum is definitly not the place for this. I do not see any other professionals sharing their life difficulties.
 
Of course it may sound insensitive or even mean to even say this, but I think such private details should be kept private. I am not sure what the objective behind such posts are ? Such details I would share only with my very best friends..
 
I am sorry if some feel this is insensitive, but I FEEL it is very insensitive to share such things on a HEADPHONE FORUM.
 
Please anyone who disagrees, stay civil, just as I am stating things in a very polite way.

If he wants to share this, why can't he? Its his choice, Mim, its not yours. So don't act like it is your choice.

Not my choice in any case, that is for sure. Just stating my opinion...and that is my choice.

I'm sorry if I'm being "insensitive" but dude did you read the thread's title?

I see his post as relevant and yours absolutely not.

He's sharing personal details about getting started in making headphones, not about how he took a poop and found out it was green. I'd say talking about the beginning of a HEADPHONE company is pertinent to a headphone forum, specifically in a thread about said company.

The thread's title is the first problem...as many have stated...but do not worry, I will bother the adoration no longer.

His mother's input is evidently quite an integral part of how the Heir logo came to being. It's rather disquieting to think that someone might misconstrue such a personal anecdote as containing ulterior motives in this case.

But why can't he share those details with us if he wants to? Explain please.

It's like the Wizard is an iem making superhero and here his origin story is being presented as a part of a reboot of the franchise.

I never said  he could not.
 
I just find the tone of these posts quite tasteless and not alone in thinking so...but of course given the reactions on this threads, no other likeminded person will say so.

It is rather disquieting that someone might NOT construe such motives.

Tasteless = wanting to share a story with people?
 
To be clear I don't even like my 4.Ai's, so I'm not a fanboy.
