I have to concur with Andy here (as usual). Since working in the consumer
manufacturing field for the past three years, our sales brochures for new
product are most often taken from early prototypes or mockups, and while
generally accurate, they usually contain small anomalies here and there such
as logos, or decals. Usually in the quest to get them out as soon a
possible the ad dept. takes certain liberties. Not usually anything to
worry about except in the cases such as this!
