These were out what I was a dealer. To me, Sonor should have never had round badges to start with. Gretsch and DW both had long histories with round badges, and I never quite understood Sonor's move to that.
It amplified my confusion when they started using this silly plastic things. I have a partial childhood memory of SOMETHING that had this clear, rubbery substance over the main part with the verbiage, but I would need hypnotizing to bring that up in my memories. Seriously, it's been nagging me for over 20 years.
