Is it just my eyes or does the logo on an Epic 5 seem to be rotated a bit counter-clockwise?  Here is a pic of my 5.

I have noticed it on all the Epic 5 pics I have seen but not on any other Alembics.

On the close-up of the 5 headstock, there's a dark shadow to the left of the headstock, which is probably misleading you.

It looks good to me.  The relative position of the A tuner could be making it look crooked.

My pictures don't show it very clearly.  When I got out a square and checked them in person I found that the Epic 5 logo is tilted a bit counter-clockwise.  I drew a line through 2 points on the logos of my 5 and 4.  The line on the 5 is about 1/2 inch toward the G string (about where it crosses the nut) compared to the same line on the 4-string.  I have looked at many Showcase pics of 5-string Epics and they all seem to have tilted logos.
Does anyone have both 5 and 4 Epics who can look at their basses and compare?

The logos are put on by hand, I'm sure you'll find all sorts of rotations, some more pronounced than others.
