It looks like maybe a "G" with lines streaking out to the side. Probably not "GE"

It is the Abbott Labs logo
It is the Abbott logo, (phisher is correct) as far as the pill...
The pill looks like Abbott Laboratories Hydrocodone/APAP::::7.5mg/325mg
Has to be a generic for Norco, because Abbott is the makers of name brand Vicodin, Vicodin ES, and Vicodin HP. None of which are 7.5mg/325mg.
You may check their site to be sure, I am sure that is what they are.

I'm not finding it on the Abbott website but they only list hydrocodone products for USA market and they only list name brand Vicoden/profen products and not their generics. Perhaps this is still an unconfirmed ID?

Foreign Hydrocodone
It is a foreign brand of Hydrocodone one sold on an Overseas Pharmacy. Still produced by Abbott Labs.

How do you know if it is a pill made by Abbot if it isn't on their website? I just dont get why Abbot would market a common combo of Hydrocodone/apap 7.5/325 for a foreign market and yet not make it for USA when they already market hydro/apap combinations for the USA.

That was my findings.
I don't want to make this thread any longer than it is, but that is the info I have found. I researched for awhile and found them then posted my findings. I am done with the topic. If anyone else finds contrary info I will read their post. But it is too much for me about one topic; Hydrocodone.

vaiojoe showed me a link to
vaiojoe showed me a link to one of those online pharmacies offering this tablet and advertising it as hydrocodone/APAP 7.5/325. The site is registered domestically but they ship from overseas. They have a questionable inventory, only scheduled drugs and each one is from a different manufacturer and most are manufactured by various smaller overseas concerns. Internet reviews of the company are mixed, at best. They say these tablets are "branded" and not generic but do not list the brand name. So, these are indeed advertised to be hydrocodone/APAP...they may be.

I was just asking because I
I was just asking because I have never used an online pharmacy however I have browsed through a couple and none of them had ever showed a picture of the pill in fact I have seen a few websites stating that if you order the same thing more than once there is a high chance that it will be a different generic.

Strange Logo Pill
I'd like to clear up a couple of misconceptions in this thread.
Quote:
It is a foreign brand of Hydrocodone one sold on an Overseas Pharmacy. Still produced by Abbott Labs.
Whatever this pill is, it's not produced by Abbott Labs. Abbott makes only brand name medicines. The company does not produce generics for either the US or foreign markets.
The symbol on this particular pill is not Abbott's logo. Here is an image of Abbott's logo:

Abbott Laboratories
Original image courtesy of 4andsic
The logo on that particular pill presented by rick9194 might belong to a company called Chemilco Internacional S.A & CHEMINTER
See image submitted by miltonpaige:
Submitted by miltonpaige on November 18, 2007 - 6:35pm.
Date 11/18/07
Manufacture : Chemilco Internacional S.A & CHEMINTER
COUNTRY : Guatemala
Trade Name : KODONE
Hydrocodone Bitartrate 7.5mg / Acetaminophen 325mg
Now in all my experience with various international medicines, hydrocodone and APAP combos are not produced outside of the United States. Even our great neighbors to the north (Canada) do not market this combination. To my peers and I, it seems unlikely that some small Guatemalan firm is marketing this combo. If the combo were available worldwide, you can bet the large brand name companies would be the first to market it.
So it seems unlikely that the tablet is what it is purported to be by the 'online pharmacy'. Of course, anything is possible. But it's very doubtful. A codeine or dihydrocodone combo makes much more sense.

???
In the spirit of "clearing up misconceptions in this thread", could you please clarify what "dihydrocodone" is?

My Apologies
It's dihydrocodeine, not dihydrocodone.
Sorry - my spelling is not very good.
I apologize.

You Still did NOT ID the Pill
I found the exact image on a IOP (International Overseas Pharmacy). Hydrocodone/APAP 7.5/500 Vicodin manufactured by Abbott Labs is what the pill is being sold as. The pills in that image are what people are receiving as well.
As I stated this is what I found. Exact image that the user posted was on a IOP I will not link anyone to in this forum.
This thread needs stopped. They posting member has not even replied about this anyway. So it seems to me he could care less. It has turned into a issue that I said was finished to me. Then a person quotes what I say like I am wrong. You find the image and the pill then. I gave the user my best idea of what I found.
The pills you posted KODONE are not what the image is anyway look close.
You still did not ID the pill?

Unidentified Pill
No, of course I can't ID the pill.
But the original image in this thread looks the same to me as the Kodone image submitted by miltonpaige.
Regarding the online pharmacy stating that the pill is made by Abbott, that is probably erroneous information. The logo on the pill is NOT Abbott's logo.
As you know, most of these illegal 'pharmacies' are scammers. People who are dumb enough to order from these sources often do not receive what they ordered (if they receive anything at all). If they receive something, it's often substitute drugs that we can't identify.
Read the threads. We see this everyday. A poster says "I was told it's oxycodone." NOT. Just this morning on this very forum a poster received oxybutynin instead of oxycodone.
And there is no need to close this thread until this pill is identified. It may take weeks, months or years. Or it may never be identified. But if the thread is closed, then we'll never have an answer.

pharmdwannabe has a valid
pharmdwannabe has a valid point, with proliferation of counterfeits and frauds, until a tablet is examined then this tablet is perhaps in the "maybe" category. It is possible a company is trying to produce schedule III drug for the lucrative U.S. market but if they import without proper approval they may as well import vitamin C and call it whatever they want.

Its good that you wont
Its good that you wont link anyone to the IOP website selling the " Original Vicodin 7.5/325mg" vaiojoe, because that would be a violation to the forums rules. As far as "this threads needs to be stopped" I didnt read any reasons why it should be stopped. I highly doubt anyone will ever know what these pills are, or exactly what they contain unless someone coughs up some cash to get them tested. Or if whatever reason someone has to test one in there professional functions, but I think its against some laws to quantify the amount of drugs in illicit substances other than giving a ratio of one compound to another if there is multiple compounds. I do however have one question for the OP, did the pills come in a blister pack or a pharmacy type bottle?

I do not use IOPs
I have no idea about the means in which they were delivered. I get Legal Rx's from Legal Dr.'s for my meds.
I just got frustrated with the thread, that's it. I said three posts ago I was done and look I am still typing. I don't want this to be a ongoing thread about a pill that is claimed to be one drug or another. Especially a pill that cannot be identified by some of the top posting members.
I was just trying to help another member THE BEST I COULD.
As I stated before I researched for a while and that was the information that I found. 
The thread does not need stopped posting, I need to stop posting the thread.
Sealed up.
BTW: Thanks to all that worked on this. Hope someone can find more info.

If for whatever reason you
If for whatever reason you understood me to mean that you, vaiojoe, buy drugs from IOP's that was never my intentions. When I asked my last question to the OP (Original Poster) it was addressed at Rick9194. Finally I know that this last comment is going to be quite useless but the pills in question other than the imprint bare a striking resemblence to the name brand Vicodin HP and to the Qualitest/Vintage generic Vicodin HP. By this I mean tablet shape,color, and from the looks of it size.

A lot of fuss for nothing
I believe pharmdwannabe's post was satisfactory. The pill in the KODONE picture IS the same pill in the OP.

It's like an E but the middle line doesn't touch
I saw that earlier today. It's looks like a modern lower case E, except I don't think the middle line touches.
I can't read the imprint-what does it say?
