Mine came with the logo, and I bought the board about 5 months ago...
For the record, my skulltrail system is running smoothly, no more memory problems I think I solved the overheating issue.
Rob, you said you could overclock the board to 2.8 stable, I have got it up to 2.97 stable with...

Also, the other question on the Power Supply, I got this one, and got a 2x 4v molex to 8v CPU power adaptor and worked like a charm...

by the way:
If you are doing multimedia production of ANY TYPE, there is nothing on the market better then this machine. I am using a full digital system for audio production and I am having no cracking or popping while using over a hundred rendering plugins in real time.
