Did anyone order these recently released engines from MTH and think the logo on the sides is incorrect ? Normal font in "The J" logo should be at an angle, and it is dead straight, however, the front logo is correct. I am attaching an image of the logo from the side. Not that it means anything, but the pre-order images are correct. Tried looking around for images of the real engines and I can't find any with the straight font.

Slightly slanted is what I see.

The green looks darker on the model.
Someone needs to supply buyers of these GP38-2s with a decal to put over "THE J" circle logos.

The first image you linked is the closest I have seen, maybe it’s the angle but it seems to have a little less lean to it than others, also similar colors. Seems to be slight variations in color throughout the years, that doesn’t bother me as much as he logo itself though. I am far from an expert, but what’s on the side is not the logo I am used to seeing for “The J”
Their logo has always had a slanted J. Looks like new decals are in order for these locomotives, if you want them correct.

The green is very bright. The J appears to have a subtle tilt.
