Arc'teryx Axios 25 Daypack - 1648cu in
AWESOME PACK, but minor beef

I really love this pack - I originally bought Aerios 14, which is smaller version of this pack with almost same features. I loved the Aerios 14 but wanted to have the same design on bigger pack for carry on travel pack, so I pulled the triger on Axios. Wow, this is really nice. Sized just perfect, my 14' Toshiba fits well, side pockets have bungees built in, keeping most of items safe (not with Aerios, which has really poor side pocket). I also love that waist belt can tuck in. Orange lining is huge +++.
The only beef was the logo (as you can see my question below). It turned out the actual product has big ARC word under the birdy logo. Why such a big deal? Well, I don't like big logo screaming on my gear, and I expected the Axios to be same as Aerios, stealthy bird logo. No such luck. I guess I will dye this thing...
