nice, what did you use?
The sabian cymbal cleaner I used was absolutely horrible and if a drop even touched the logo it would come off. I free handed the series and the Sabian logo. Haven’t got to the rings yet. Not sure what to do there. But it definitely looks better. Here’s a pic of the series and just the S done. More Pics to come.

Wouldn't it be cheaper and better just to send it back to Sabian and have them do it for $40 bucks?

wow that turned out great! Sharpie FTW!!
Nice! Yep, free is always better, lol
Very nice, but, begs the question......why?
I did this before on an old b8 crash about 5 years ago. I used it for about a year or so and the logo still looks flawless.
The problem with those liquitex markers is that it might come off sooner than the permanent sharpie. Not sure though
I found that after wiping over the logo lightly with a cleaner gets rid of the glossy look and makes it look more like it was stamped.
Very cool idea! Thanks for sharing.
What if you put a piece of clear tape over the logo, cut the letters out with an exact-o knife, then remove the tape sections over the letters? That would leave a stencil that you could paint or color over. Then just peel the stencil off once it’s colored in. Might be less teadious than going freehand with a ruler.

Here’s the lettering done. If you look close you can see a little streaking on the letters on the far right. Nothing major at all. You need to look right in the light to see them. I enjoy free handing. These letters were all done that way.

see now that turned out GREAT
Even if your putting tape over it and cutting out a stencil you are still in essence free handing. Ya have to be just as tedious and careful with an exacto knife as you do with a sharpie.

Sabian should pay you for your tedious marketing efforts.
I have two outstanding Zildjian "A" cymbals that long ago lost their stamp-logos from my cleaning routine.
I have had them many years and they sound (to me) absolutely fantastic..................these two are in the category of "I'll never depart with them".
They have no logo and I don't care.
I have other (newer) cymbals that have logos and if they should get in the way of my cleaning routine and disappear, so be it.

Like Rick, I don't care one way or the other when it comes to cymbal logos, but I certainly understand those that do. You did a fantastic job on the lettering. I just don't have that kind of patience anymore.

Looks awesome! Heck, it’s better than a lot of the ink stamp I’ve seen on Chinese made cymbals!
