Why does Line 6 make the ugliest amps?
Seriously.

That thing is hideous. The standard placement of the Line 6 logo is just painful. It looks like a cancerous growth on the face of the amp.
I understand that Line 6 doesn't make the only ugly amps but they are the worst offenders and I just don't understand why. The company has little to brag about. Their main selling point is that their amps rip off other company's tonally via digital modeling. Why not rip off other company's better aesthetics too?

Look better than this fancy Line 6 half-stack

Even when Line 6 tries to go retro it ends up looking awful like a Star Wars Episode 1 spaceship...
