NameBrandGlass

[DaNK]

Ran across this company today and was wondering if any of you guys or gals have had the chance to use any of their products. All the stuff I have seen of theirs is really sick and very functional. Let me know what you think. I may be picking up some tubes from them shortly.
Here are some milk vids!!

kinda cool

more knock-offy

[DaNK]

Just got off the phone with them and I am getting a price list tonight. I will be putting in my first order within a week. They have a lot more than whats shown on their website. Lots of custom shit. I will be getting updated photos Wednesday hopefully.

[DUBSteppin]

Those shower heads, or whatever they are called they look like circs to me, in the tubes look like they add drag. If you watch the second milk vid you can kind of tell by the clearing speed and how there is some lingering smoke. I would pick one up though they look sick and are designed well.

[DaNK]

My Toro circ a/c does the same thing lol. When I put the bowl back in it always drops a cloud of smoke down the tube. I cant wait to hit one of these!
Oh and the circ on the bottom of the tube is totally enclosed with 6-8 slits. Very nice.

[WaTdAbLuNt420]

the products they have look pretty nice, but im not feeling the label/logo.

[TheFuckingKid]

yea its weird you started this thread like a day after i started like the same thing lol but i may be picking one up while im home again for the holidays...and i agree im not a big fan of the skull logo but i do like the name brand written out

[ja rasta]

kinda cool

more knock-offy

How is it knock-offy in you opinion?

and dubsteppin Illadelph showerhead percs hit very nece and this company is owned by an ex-illadelph shop man,

[ja rasta]

Lol it is kinda funny that this exact same thread was started a day after thefuckingkid's philly fixed stem thread, which is essentially the same thread for namebrandglass

[DaNK]

Yea sorry about that lol!

[ja rasta]

honest mistake, no apologies needed friend

[khanold2]

I was going to say these look a lot like illadelph, from the lines to the design, you can see it the most in their ashcatcher style.

[f0urtwenty]

How is it knock-offy in you opinion?

imo it is knock-offy because every piece posted had shown attributes from other very common blowers. not to say that's new in this industry at all. but they've got inline, fixed stems with 4 tree and/or circs. but most of all it is the clear glass with little to no work and the typeface used on the words "Named Brand". this is probably a small sample of their work and i'm not quick to judge. i'd be more interested in seeing a piece close up and checking out their handiwork before i judged them. the attributes i've described are not meant to be negatives, just first impressions.

[h3tty sesh]

it is fucking knock-offy, a bunch of my friends swear by this stuff but thats just cause were in central PA and they cant get anything better, or at least dont wanna put in the effort. you have to use it to know but it is just shitty glass in a shiney package. not well functioning

[ripps]

I think it really takes something new or special for a new tube company to be noticed. BTW it looks like they stole SG's label

[Ismoke2much]

I like the splashguard on the circ A/C. The label isn't the coolest but if they are just starting they have nothing but time to refine what they are doing. I expect to see some quality glass coming from this "Name Brand".

But thats just my prediction.

Similarities still have differences, I do not believe they STOLE anything.

[con-ed]

ughhh here we go again. Get off the fucking hate train. Guess what, people do inspire each other and learn from one another. And from what has been said thus far, he has worked both with the Illadelph crew and JP....trying to differentiate between them obviously shows similarities.

Every market for anything has people/corporations pushing the limits however they can. NBG has its own twist and is one of a FEW companies with a line of stemless/fixed stem pieces & accessories. Support a new artist who clearly has displayed some sick glass, save the hate for the weedstars of the world. (who is essence caters to their own market but ehhhh)

Haters will always hate - the true glass-heads will appreciate & differentiate.

I'm not filing a copyright suit here, it was just an observation, i'd be in line to try one of these for myself.

[hedeez]

looks like a new name on the horizon!

Im all for anybody that wants to pump out quality glass with hooks and fixed stems.

NBG lookin good!

where can you find these bad boys?

[Bongwater420]

the truth has been spoken

haha 420th post niceeeee

[BigManNew]

Anyone know if these guys do repairs?

[fornoone]

Lol not that it matters because the quality of work is nowhere near, but try copying a little more than just SG\'s font next time you pick a new brand to push. just a thought

[TheFuckingKid]

since when did all these haters start invading FMB? i feel like its startin to be like TC in here...

[Chesterfico311]

No kidding I don't get why you people are bashing NBG, It's a new company that looks like they could really have some interesting things in store. I would not be surprised if all the douche bags who were hating had NBG pieces sometime in the future. If you don't like it then keep your comments to yourself dont take up all the thread with sh**** comments and hating.

[TheFuckingKid]

chester....took the words right outa my mouth...and was that you on Chat earlier?

[keithonfire]

im so happy the glass market is going private i cant handle all these new idiots on FMB anymoree!!!!!!

[Chesterfico311]

Of course TheF'inKid, I'm addicted to some CC for sure man. All these haters just waste space. See ya in chat Kid. So keithonfire the glass market will only available for people already on FMB?

*Shakes head*

You cant even hate correctly....

SG's typeface is EDWARDIAN

NBG's typeface IS NOT

Ive been a diehard SG fan for years, and IMO SG's typeface choice blows anyway... Even though everyone seems to think since its in cursive its "fancy"....

[fornoone]

I'm not bashing, I'm observing that they have that "SG-look" going on in their logo. (and yes I know it's not edwardian, it's not like you can copyright using a pre-existing font anyways hedeez so don't get all worked up) If you think that's pure coincidence go ahead.

I could explain why I disagree with you in logical terms but it seems everyone here is on HATER ALERT if someone doesn't chime along with "sick tube."

[ja rasta]

everyones drinking that haterade recently, ive noticed like hundred of new members in the past week... whered they all come from?

YouTube- Name Brand Glass - Production Fixed Stem with Ash Catcher (IN HD!!!)

[BigManNew]

After watching that video, it looks to me like NBG has some good glass. It looked like smoke was coming out of all the slits, and there were some nice sized bubbles. I would have to try it out in person to give my final answer about wether or not they make good shit. But from the looks of things I would give them a B+ lol

EDIT: after watching the milk of that TC a second time, it evenly diffuses the smoke, and looks sick with all those tiny bubbles coming out of it.

BTW who cares what their logo looks like. I don't buy glass based on a logo, I buy it based on the quality. wtg NBG

[Phlox33]

I personally think NBG might have a good thing workin for em. Looks like good ol quality glass or on their way to good quality glass work to me. Just my 2 cents.
