Verizon logo on front of our S3 ?

**Bullfrog1337** · 06-25-2012, 11:23 PM

A guy mentions that he saw a Verizon commercial which shows the Galaxy S3 with their logo above the home button.

Has anyone else seen this commercial to confirm ?
I really hope this turns out to be a false alarm.

Probably just an advertising model. I'm going to be soooo pissed if I waited this long and Verizon decides to be the only carrier to slap their logo on the front. Seriously this is unacceptable, the model on their site does not have this so the final product shouldn't either.

Well it makes sense considering they keep delaying their launch (possibly to brand our phones with the mark of the beast and install their bloat) but then again the leaked images of Verizon's model have no front branding.

I've seen it, it's right above the home button, and I think it looks much sexier than having it at the top or back. It's almost like pressing verizon logo lol. I'm hoping it's not on the back cover. Pebble blue looks really sexy with that logo!

While I obviously have not yet seen the elusive Verizon model with my own eyes, Verizon commercials tend to use faux markings, characters, designs, and graphics, so be sure to take this with a grain or two of salt.

Just look at the signal bars and 4G icon in the taskbar on any Verizon phone in one of their commercials and you'll see what I mean. It's not even close to what it looks like in real life.

Link to commercial or photo of the logo anyone?

I hope its on the back cover because if it looks that bad you can just buy a replacement back cover. If its on the front there's nothing you can do.

Haha ya know what I could honestly see Verizon doing that. They love their logo on everything and would most definitely want to differentiate their model, even if it just meant slapping it on the front. I like the look of it being all clean on the front with no logo, so hopefully they don't do that. But, as long as it's done in a tasteful manner I'm not going to gripe about it.

**Bullfrog1337** · 06-26-2012, 08:44 AM

I have looked all over for the commercial with no luck. I hope it really is just an advertising model.

**Cruiserdude** · 06-26-2012, 10:01 AM

iPhone doesn't have it, Nexus doesn't have it, what makes anyone think this can't join them in having a clean face?

**GMJeff** · 06-26-2012, 11:42 AM

Probably because Apple and Google control the looks and functionality of their iphone and nexus, not allowing the carriers to molest them as they would like.

All other devices are fair game. As for the GS3, with the handset being on 3 carriers minimum, i could see them branding the phones as they would want to let people know that this is not from at&t or sprint.

Thought I read and saw that the Verizon branding will be on the back.

**ansextra** · 06-26-2012, 12:20 PM

I really wish this was important to me. I couldn't care less if there's a VZ logo on the front of the phone. It's a phone not a fashion accessory...

**WillC** · 06-26-2012, 12:40 PM

In this review video posted on YouTube yesterday there is some footage from a launch party that briefly shows the Verizon model. Best as I could tell there was no Verizon logo on the front of the phone. Relevant portion of the video is around the 7:18 mark.

**jaekim717** · 06-26-2012, 01:03 PM

i guess we all find out in rough 2 weeks. i really hope it's not true though

**Bad_SNaCKY** · 06-26-2012, 01:44 PM

Samsung was adamant about NOT having ANY branding on the front of the phone when releasing the SIII to respective phone companies; they are indeed taking a page from the iPhone.

All branding will be on the back cover if anything.

**doogie1** · 06-26-2012, 01:59 PM

I don't like this one bit. I have the Gnex and love the clean look. Honestly, I could do without the Samsung branding either. I will however take that over the vzw mark. I don't care about it being on the back, my ringke slim cases are patiently waiting to cover that up

**Mastaking** · 06-26-2012, 02:06 PM

That is a link to the gallery of the Samsung S3 for verizon which shows that the logo will be on the back of the phone and not the front of the phone in a very similar fashion as to how it was on the Galaxy Nexus.

It's something I've never really noticed before but it really does give the phone such a clean, sleek look when there's no branding at all (I have a Nexus too, 1st time using a Nexus device)

That being said, I'm not sure I will be paying attention if my phone is whizzing along with a better processor, more RAM, etc etc

Bring on the SGS3

**carracerz14** · 06-26-2012, 04:21 PM

What's the big deal? You have verizon what's so bad about having a logo on your phone? They have every right to put their logo on it. I know I would if I was version especially for a phone that was released on every major carrier

no logo on the front.. And that is on the vzw website.

**metz65** · 06-26-2012, 04:38 PM

Cracks me up that people actually spend time being upset and complaining that Verizon brands the phone they sell at a subsidized price.
I wonder how many of the complainers would honestly be willing to pay $300 or $400 more if Verizon offered an identical phone without the branding.
Cars and trucks are branded in the same way,do people go to automobile forum's to complain?

I don't care what kind of phone you use, that's not how I judge someone's worth or intelligence. Sent using tapatalk 2.

Found a video for the commercial:

It just bugs me that Verizon has to make their model different than everyone elses. It gives it a cleaner look without the logo. Not something I'll cancel my preorder over though..

I find it weird that no logo is on the device on the vzw site. Makes me think this video is just some shopped job of what someone assumed it would be.
