Can anyone tell me what year this logo is? (or some kind of year range)

This is what Bob Runde used for my cue that I ordered at the Inaugural BCA Trade Show in 1984.
Schon was in business less than 3 yrs old back then. Bob actually had to build my cue twice….long story.

Pictures are not great but,
Top is mid to late 80's
Middle is mid to late 90's
Bottom is 92, 93, or 94
None are the same as yours so I'm guessing
2000+

That’s the STL 18 or CX24 model. I can’t remember how you can distinguish the difference in the two cues. The CX models were made for cuesticks international I think. Maybe this will help narrow down the year it was made

Yes. I knew the model. They made it for many years. And are still making it. I wondered how early mine was? It does have "the good stuff" for all the white inlays accept the buck cap. Might be late '90s. It's certainly not the current model. They use micarta instead of i**ry now.

It's why I was asking about the signature. Thought that might narrow it down. And also the use of real I**ry for 52 of the inlays. I thought that might narrow it down to an exact year. They've made this for 30 years.

they stopped using ivory in '15.
 
I remember a friend who had an STL18 back in 2017. One of the pieces of ivory was not matched perfectly and you were able to see the grain in it, as well as being slightest, slightest shade darker. Your logo could be anywhere from 1995 to the present.

Cool. Thank you. Schon never used serial numbers did they?

I don’t know much about cues. I did know the model number because I used to play with a stl 15 for years and my buddy played with a stl 18 actually he still plays with it. I know at some point Schon stopped putting the two dots above the O. I don’t know if at some point they started putting them there again or not. For some reason I was thinking the ones with the two dots were made in the early 90s. However I’m the last person you would want to ask about a cue. Just trying to be helpful.

Yes. Exactly. Some years have the umulats (two dots) and some don't. Also, some are scroll "S" and some are regular. There's a bunch of logos. But the people here I think with their pictures and letting me know that they stopped I**ry in 2016 probably narrows it down as much as it can be without having serial numbers on Schon cues.

THANK YOU EVERYONE for all of your help! You guys always come through and your knowledge is so appreciated! I think we've narrowed it to a 15 year window and that's as close as we can get unless anyone else can narrow the signature more? But I don't think so.
