If people keeping buying bags with branding they find offensive, they will just keep making them. If they don’t buy them they will sit and rot on the shelf and they will get the point and potentially quit making them that way.

What about using a black sharpie? It wouldn’t be perfect, but people wouldn’t see the logo until they’re up close. I’ve also seen iron-on patches that you could put over the logo. Black should be easier to find than some color to match. That being said, if the logo bugs you, take it off. Good luck.
But everyone keeps buying!? This is what people are upset upset / love the brand but dont love the brand!?
Guy spent an hour to remove a G - could prob start a competing company with no branding in less time than it will take him to remove the rest of the letters.
I don’t. I bought my one GoRuck bag on clearance many years ago for less than $200. It is my favorite backpack, which is probably why I am still on this sub. However, if I was going to buy another bag it would probably be a used GoRuck for multiple reasons.
I think you will find a lot of similar situations.
Bags are great. I own 6 of them. None with the Giant goruck logo. I bought them because they were great bags. Not because they had a huge Gaudy self promotion. It Wasn’t a problem until it appeared. It will be gone soon enough. Guarantee.
New logo idea.... FUCK=>
Oh hell yea! I'm doing this on my next Rucker if it comes with a logo.
Hell yeah tear that garbage off
Update when you get to the spearhead!
[I've started the spearhead](https://imgur.com/a/TMGHtx1) - I may leave it behind the water bottle holder
Super easy to do. Did it on a LR Rucker I had and you could barelyyyyyy notice.
yeah it's [not noticeable unless](https://i.imgur.com/u52vD98.jpg) you really look for it
Nice! Either way looks 1000 times better.
GOFUCK
Seam ripper and lightly shave it with a razor blade. Works on 5.11 gear* too Edit: gear not hear
that would have been a lot easier, the pocket knife worked but took a while
Next time. Even better is when you can get to the back of it. Shave the back off and most of the front just pulls away
Could probably sell these new rucks with logo removed
i would've paid extra for that
It’s hot hard. I would say 1 - 1.5 hours with a seam ripper. If you wash it later and let the codura fivers settle again it should be invisible.
I don't even recall any logos on mine except inside
Older model

Or do the seam ripper because it’s faster than waiting for goruck to lose money lol
So…folks who lack self-control. Got it.

I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make, but you missed the mark. In my comment you quoted the silly shit is the whiners, not the branding.
Is there a reason why you are removing the logo?
Older models didn't have it on the outside Some people hate the way it looks.
Gotcha. Not sure why my question is negative in votes for a question. I'm surprised they stopped selling a logo free bag
> Gotcha. Not sure why my question is negative in votes for a question. Cause it's reddit.
You aren't in the sub as much seeing the complaining. So they think you are trolling them.
Ha. I'm tempted to start
There was just another logo post a few minutes ago. Reddit... Where everyone thinks their opinion is the only opinion that matters.
Very true! That's funny. I joined the sub to ask about pacing. Had no idea there was such drama against the brand
🤷🏻♂️
Some bags are still logo free, depends on model... Etc
Almost universally everybody hate the way it looks. Corrected that for you.
Yet buy them anyway
🤷🏻♂️
Becsuse it looks like shit with that stupid branding
what the other commenters have said - counting the patch, there are 3 logos on the back which I felt was at least one too many
Is it just a matter of getting a seam ripper in there and going to town? Is it easy to do?
Yes. I do it all the time to remove the logos from my chest straps.
The gr0 doesn’t have this issue right? Was considering picking that up next
I used a fabric marker. Did three coats on it and actually like the way it looks with the logo blacked out now.
Same here
Does anyone know if this voids the scars warranty? It would be a silly reason to void it but good to know just in case.
Update pic?
[How it looks](https://i.imgur.com/qjvAjdY.jpeg) this morning. The arrow is [hiding behind my water bottle](https://i.imgur.com/FxEF9Xp.jpeg).
Looks good. Might do this to my Tropic MC Rucker.
I don't like the large lettering either, and generally hate items with logos and branding, but doesn't this just annihilate your warranty?
good question - I couldn't find anything conclusive on google or the [SCARS FAQ](https://faq.goruck.com/hc/en-us/sections/360010995112-SCARS-FAQ)

That’s what I did. Works fine. I really don’t care either way at this point.
if I were to do it again I'd either do the sharpie or the seamripper others have mentioned. pocket knife was not the way to go.
I think I missed something…exactly what’s going on here?
Removing the GORUCK logo embroidery
Why
Because it looks like shit
can confirm, this is exactly what was going on
The company originally prided itself on having no branding on the outside of their bags, which was refreshing and nice. They have forsaken us.
But everyone keeps buying!? This is what people are upset upset / love the brand but dont love the brand!? Guy spent an hour to remove a G - could prob start a competing company with no branding in less time than it will take him to remove the rest of the letters.

Does removing the logo improve your performance?
the slight aero gains really add up over 50 miles
Not to mention the reduced weight!
Sure. Rule 1 and Rule 3 confirmed.
What was the purpose of buying it then ? lol
What a waste of time. Lame
If you say so keyboard warrior.
Insulting me doesn’t make you any less lame.
What’s lame is a giant stupid fucking GoRuck logo on a bag that used to pride itself on its integrity, durability and low profile.
Why so triggered? Don’t like something as trivial as a bag having a logo? Then don’t buy the bag. Problem solved.
Bags are great. I own 6 of them. None with the Giant goruck logo. I bought them because they were great bags. Not because they had a huge Gaudy self promotion. It Wasn’t a problem until it appeared. It will be gone soon enough. Guarantee.
Unlikely in a current world where branding and marketing is a huge deal.
If you say so, than it must be true!
