Did I buy a counterfeit REL T5/i sub??

I recently purchased a used Rel T 5/i sub to go with the one I previously bought from an authorized dealer.  The used T 5/i had all the packaging, manuals, etc and the sub itself looks just like the one I have now.  This morning I noticed something different...the REL emblem on top of the sub and on the 4 legs is now written horizontally instead of diagonally.  Does anyone know if this was a recent official design change?  I doubt this sub is counterfeit but I will admit I have a little bit of doubt.  Please someone set my mind at ease....

Why not contact Rel and ask them if they changed logo placement?
Counterfeiting subs wouldn't be a very profitable venture, so I doubt it is.
Also, are the serial numbers very different for one another?-that would be another clue.

OP- have you connected them to your system? Do you notice any difference sound-wise/operation-wise?
Though the opportunity for counterfeiting exists, I think there are better choices for it. Why make a heavy object when there are more profitable venues, like cables?

Perhaps they are sub-human?
