I just got an envelope through the post the other day with the official Moog livery printed on it. It was sent all the way from Ashville to my home in the UK. Upon opening it I found a MOOG sticker… and that’s it. No cover letter, no information about why I was sent it or anything. I had recently registered my new Sub37, and I guess it’s in response to this. However, is it normal to get sent just a sticker like this? It seems a bit random and pointless. I mean, I don’t mind and I’m very happy with it, but it is just a sticker. Would it not make more sense to just put it in the box when the pack the synth?
Can anyone enlighten me on this?
Probably Moog would prefer that their instruments be registered. The sticker is an enticement for you to do so… although many people never actually receive them 
Registering is a good idea. My Voyager was repaired (due to a bad batch of TI chips that were used in some instruments) free of charge recently. I and other registered owners received an email from them explaining the issue and my instrument was promptly repaired by the local distributor. Had I not registered, I may never have known why one of the modulations buses wasn’t working and would have paid for the repairs myself.
Also registered Voyager owners all received the brass filter knob a couple of years ago.
Thanks for the reply. I guessed it might be something like this. So odd though, just to receive a sticker in an envelope with no explanation.
i got one too in the uk a couple of weeks ago - stuck it on my sax case 
I have always been thankful when Moog sent things out of the blue. It’s just good customer service.
Over the years, I have registered many items. Sometimes a sticker shows up, sometimes one doesn’t. It is a nice little piece of swag at any rate.
One just never knows. I got one for a minifooger and not for my S37 ??? it’s like a surprise party.
I got one for the Sub37 as it seems. Let’s see if the MF-104m will give a reaction .
Over the last 5 years, I’ve registered (all new purchases) a Little Phatty, (2) Slim Phatty’s, a Minitaur, and (4) MoogerFoogers
Sticker count = 0 
Got another one yesterday. I truly think they just randomly send these to registered owners of Moog products. I’ll put them on camping gear bins.
Moog Inc. sits in an awkward corner of Asheville—one with very little available parking. I’ve noticed most every employee has ‘badged’ their vehicle, and I wonder if the practice might help them avoid trouble with the neighbors (and the towing companies).
Also, Asheville is kind of Bumper Sticker town, with lots of old Subarus and such.
I got one out of the blue a few weeks back. I am also in the UK.
They must have just filled the “Sticker Fulfillment” position in the company
I had registered three products in the past, never got anything. But just got one this week after registering my phaser!
How about a free sew-on patch 
Early Voyagers in Britain didn’t have the Moog name apart from a small panel saying “Voyager by Bob Moog” because of the loss of the Moog company name here.
I’m not sure if the sticker thing dates from that or not, but for those of us in Britain who didn’t have a Moog logo on our Moog synths it made sense for Moog to provide a logo in sticker form when the legal status of the name changed.
But as you’ve said, it’s random. I’ve never received one, and I don’t think I’m particularly alone in that. I resigned myself to that a long time ago. I’ve always said if I ever gig with the Voyager I’ll put a large Roland or Korg sticker on, as Moog seem to be so uninterested in badging their synth. Anything done with it on stage may as well be credited to their competitors.
I haven’t got a sticker yet and i’m in the UK.
With regards to sticking a competitors sticker on, I don’t think that’ll make any difference, everybody knows what a Moog looks like. That is like sticking a lexus badge on a rolls royce. 
huh ? Why ???
I think I have a couple of spares around, I’ll exchange a Moog sticker for a Korg one (nice to see you have received them from Roland and Korg at least)… I’ll put one on my PS-3100.
Why? Sorry - I thought it was clear what I meant: Moog seem totally uninterested in badging the instruments that were sold in Britain when the Moog logo couldn’t legally be used. Now it can be used, you’d expect them to want their instruments to be identifiable on stage, but they don’t seem interested.
Thanks for the the offer of a swap for a Roland or Korg sticker. When I bought an MS20 many years ago it had Korg stickers all over it (I’m not sure why, as it had `Korg’ on the back in big letters), but I sold that a while ago. I was assuming if I told Korg or Roland why I need a large sticker they’d be happy to provide one, but I haven’t asked as I’m not gigging with the Voyager.
Did you ever write to someone at Moog and ask for one? You can always buy one also.

I’ve never seen anyone get so worked up about a sticker !! I’ll tell you what, since you obviously haven’t got the Roland /Korg stickers you implied you have, let’s not even bother with an exchange… I’ll send you a Moog one for free… I was teasing you anyway, I’ve still got the nice original Korg logo on the back of my PS-3100.
Re. branding, you would imagine that anyone even remotely interested in the synths would recognize a Voyager… even without a sticker for the really clever ones.
I don’t think anyone’s getting this at all.
My point is that there’s a whole series of Moog products in Britain that are basically unbadged because Moog didn’t have the rights to the Moog name for trading purposes at the time.
You’d expect Moog to have been keen to put their logo on those instruments as soon as the name became legally available again, but very oddly they seem to have made no effort to do so.
My comments were made because of that very odd business decision - or lack of a business decision.
I know very well I could buy a Moog sticker if I wanted to. I’m not such a cheapskate that I refuse to do that - after all, I happily spent £2000 on a Voyager. My point is, as I keep saying, that it’s simply weird that Moog aren’t keen to get their unbadged synths showing the Moog logo now they can legally do so. Usually companies are keen to put their logo on their products, and Moog do that for the rest of the world and would have done it in Britain if they had the right to the name in the early 2000s.
I made a joke about badging my synth with a logo from one of Moog’s competitors to make the point that Moog won’t be publicised by people using unbadged synths on stage, but nobody seems to have got it.
To be absolutely clear: I’M NOT BOTHERED ABOUT A STICKER FOR MY SYNTH. I’M SIMPLY NOTING HOW ODD IT IS THAT MOOG AREN’T INTERESTED IN BADGING THEIR SYNTHS. This topic asked “What’s with the sticker thing?” My post was a reply to that question.
