Date / scale
The actual company identity could not be established. Because the capacitor had enough space for a longer marking yet displayed only 'GL', the source speculates that it might be a separate brand or manufacturer, perhaps based on a name like Gxxx Lxxx, rather than merely a series designation.

Notes

The logo on a BioStar M7VKG sample reportedly differs from the logo on other GL parts. FC2 interprets inconsistent logo styles as a negative indication of quality. Photographs include normal and bulging green-sleeved samples and a close-up of the vent.

Original source text

Vent types: head03/head04. Reported use: motherboards and PSUs; leakage reports exist. The archive is seeking more information and describes differing logo styles. It speculates that the manufacturer may be of poor quality, but does not establish its identity. This is not the CapXon GL series or an abbreviated G-LUXON logo; a separate GL brand/manufacturer is considered possible.
