Looks great.
I think Kemper would sell a lot of t-shirts, hats, stickers and other stuff with their logo on.
Yep and I wear it proud............ Thanks!!!

Kemper need to get some merch....fed up of wearing my ENGL tee-shirt when I sold it nearly 2 years ago now...
They need a slogan like " Kemper users profile, not model"....
+1000 at leasty some tasty t-shirts
Very nice, @Zapman! That's something I would like to wear as well! Really cool that your wife knows so much about your gear!
I feel a bit silly asking this, as I am sure the answer will turn out to be quite obvious, in hindsight...

What exactly is the depicted in the top triangular section of the Kemper Amps logo? I understand that the bottom triangle shows an idealized picture of a vacuum tube...but I am scratching my head at the top part. Lol.
Thanks in advance,
John

I wondered about this also. I thot perhaps it's aug reel to reel recording device ?
I don't know for sure but I always thought it was the kind of thing you see above a coal mine for removing the coal from the ground. So to me the symbol means 'taking the vacuum tube out of the amp' so we can use it as we want. And that's what the Kemper does

I guess this might be coal mine symbol.

Someone from the team, possibly CK himself, explained this not that long ago.
I think it represented the heritage of the Kemper's home town.

That's it! Good find. I actually wasn't completely far off.. I had been thinking it might represent some type of old-style ground water or oil pumping system.
Thanks for the wikipedia link. So, it turns out that this is a winding tower / hoist for a mine shaft at the Zollverein coal mine complex. According to the article, it is a symbol for the Essen and greater Ruhr valley, which makes sense for Kemper's location.
Cheers,
John
Edit -- Sorry @Zapman, I didn't mean to go off topic. I love your tee-shirt, as well. You have a very thoughtful and discerning wife.

Yeah, like 25km
Coal mining (which has ceased completely this year 2016) in the Ruhr area has been one of Germany's most important industry branches and was the root of wealth and development of the whole area.
Of course the whole area has 'morphed' into a modern industrial area during the last 30 years but the people are still proud of their heritage, and rightfully so.
I was brought up in the same area BTW, only 15 km away from Kemper HQ's.

@Zapman It is the shaft tower of the German Mining Museum in Bochum, Germany.
Looks cool in green light

Slogan? How about "Happy Kemper"? Marketing? (you're welcome)
