Can anyone explain why my new voyager is like this?
I recently bought an anniversary edition Voyager, which arrived yesterday...
I haven't seen one like it.
It says anniversary edition below the menu screen (& on the manuals)
It generally is the same lay-out/look of the other AE
however:
On the wooden cabinet where the 50 year disc should be, there is nothing but an indentation....
Also on the wood just above the first 1/2 octave is Bob Moog's signature in white.
This doesnt seem to look like a signature edition, not like any pics I can find anyway.
Anyone seen the like?

Where are you from? I would guess the UK.. I say this as my AE is the same, nothing in the indentation. I figured that all UK AE's do not ship with this badge, presumably because it has the word 'Moog' on it.
I asked Turnkey about this and they said they have Anniversary stickers that they normally put in this indent. I got one and stuck it in. The sticker is pretty nice and looks perfectly natural to the passive observer.. Obviously I would love an original disc whatever they look like.. Maybe someone could post a close up of the AE disc?

Minimoog Anniversary edition badge
Hi.
I live in the Uk and was aware of the Moog legal problems resulting in Moog not being able to use the name on UK sold products. I had already purchased a Theremin from Turnkey in the Uk and was a little sad that it had to have all Moog references removed.
When it cam time for me to purchase my Voyager I knew I had to have the Moog branding so decided to get one shipped from M.E.S.I in Paris.
Here are some pics of my badge

You could always try contacting Moog and asking them to send you a badge - you never know.
This whole situation really is ridiculous!

It is better to be loved or hated than to be regarded with indifference.
I might look a fool, I might act the fool, but take me for a fool and I'll make a fool of you.
If the past is ill, make the future better.

Moog Badge
Yeah they sound exactly the same!
The issue with the Moog name in the UK is very frustrating, hope it gets resolved soon.
One way of looking at it is that the UK Moog products are more exclusive!

Hi
"Exclusivity that's easily bought by hacking the pretty badge off a European market model!"
Its not as simple as that. The UK versions have every trace of the company Moog removed, often replaced with the company name "Big Briar". Even the PCBs make no reference to the company Moog..
Anyone know the relevance of the name "Big Briar" btw?

It just says Voyager by Bob Moog everywhere on this synth...
It even ships with a manual with all moog music references blacked out, but also comes with an anniversary manual, with no such censorship...
it's inconsistent at best... but no matter, i'm having a lot of fun with it, whatever it's called.
Thanks for all the input guys!
