the new one is on the right with the 20 logo thing. in the photo the extreme part looks clear/black but looks shiny/silver in person.

The image on the Sandisk site shows the 20 logo.

Edit

And also without, so there must have been a redesign.

But the 20 logo only seems to appear on the 64GB card if you check all the images.

So the 20 logo should not appear on the smaller cards.

Unfortunately a bit of a pointer towards counterfeit then.

IF you need to be 100% sure your not buying fake sandisk cards, then buy Lexar instead :)
