So yeah...Why did Moog change the design of the Minifoogers so soon?
They started with the little name plaques then switched the geometric designs. I know it's not a huge deal, just thought it was a bit strange.

I would imagine it was just to differentiate them a little bit more than being a black box with some knobs. I have four of the original ones, and while I haven't done it yet, I could see myself turning a knob or switching on the wrong one in the heat of the moment.

^This. In the dark, they were practically identical and that is an issue. I don't really like the design solution they went with, but I understand the logic, and how the new look works to solve the similarity problem without a re-design of the line. *W*m10k wrote:I would imagine it was just to differentiate them a little bit more than being a black box with some knobs.

Yep. Plus that make them more "collectible"

That makes sense. I didn't consider the fact that people actually use these on stage
