New zildjian oriental china stamp looks weird, They completely removed the word oriental from the cymbal. I know it's natural to not like change, but am I the only one that thinks it's ugly?

Man, I love this cymbal. It does everything so well. I got a really great deal on this and the 15 Inch Light Hats a few months ago. Desert island choices for sure.
