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....

About 5 years ago i bought a new in box t5 off craigs list . The owner said he won it in a company raffle and had no use . It was discounted half of new . Sold the t5 months later . The new owner contacted me days later and was suspicious of its authenticity . It could be counterfeit .

The buyer was saying something about the metal grille was his suspicion . i just thought the guy was a quack at the time . could be something to it from what eriksquires stated about mk having a problem . Never would have guessed the counterfeit market would be so big in audio equipment . Makes me wonder though ..
