Awesome
 
I think it looks great, especially the -6 on the front page;)
Great shot by Moose Peterson.

The site itself looks fresh and modern. I like the new fonts for the body text, headlines, etc.

But I'm NOT a fan of that new logo. Veterans Administration??? I so prefer "Van's Aircraft" spelled out proudly! I'll keep the old stuff until it's threadbare.

Does that mean its time for a VAF upgrade?
 
I love the regular web forum as is of course...

All I'm saying is that a VAF mobile version would be much appreciated!

:D :D :D

Should be all good now. Ping me if not! Thx.

Greg,

Just another heads up, the ?required tools? link for the practice kits doesn?t work.
BTW, excellent job for the new website, looks very good.

Yes, that one's on the list - thanks, will get it addressed! We have a few store links that are broken and will definitely be addressed.

And thanks!

Another item for the request list. Technical data and dimension drawings for accessories.

Many items in the accessories catalog have fuzzy pictures and no technical information or data sheets for installation. I am researching information on the Aeroleds Suntail nav/strobe. Vans is listed and referenced as an OEM for that product. Spruce and others now have links to reference docs for such merchandise to assist potential customers with selection.

Thanks.

Why rebrand a well known brand? Silly!

Personally, I think it's gone the way of many sites I know and love... They've moved to a Wordpress or similar content management system that increases the empty whitespace and amount of scrolling needed to absorb the same amount of information. Modern, yes, but less functional.

Nor I.

Now, that said, keep in mind that Van's has already sold 20,000 airplanes to the market using the old logo. Now they're trying to capture more of the market by appealing to a newer generation, that might find the layout and logo more "familiar."

Sure, we may go buy a second kit (or third, or fourth...) but we're already customers. We know the product, and won't ditch the company overall over a logo or a website. We'll just be the gray-hairs pining for the "good old days" when the logo was all words... :)

Resistant to change
 
I kind of like the new logo.

Truth be told, the old logo was essentially the same as Vans shoes logo...and that company has been around since 1966...
