Finding a proper name and logo :)

[Grench]

HyCu I think is ok, nice and short.

Your pronunciation there I read as sounding [Hey-ku]

I naturally read is as sounding [High-cue]

Either way though, sounds ok to me

Phonetically to me Haiku = High-cue.

Japanese Haiku

in five seven five meter

more meaning than lines

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku

The basis is having great meaning with minimal size through great form.

Dual meaning. HyCu = HyperCube. HyCu = Japanese poem.

The only existing commercial use I could find for the term "HyCu" was a brand of cucumber water.

FZERO: Very good idea, cubes on the highest part of the letters, and it's work only with Pyra

Idea: Taking the greek version of Pyra as a logo: Πύρρα.  It would be like ancient runes.

FZERO: That would be a decent logo for, say, a website. What would you emboss on the lid of the device, i.e. thinking in b/w?

Perhaps just the lettering, with the inner cubes as just lines [no shade fills]

But even with embossing you can have depth/shade, so then could have the whole thing

The Greek alphabet != ancient runes

...?

Am I missing something?

 

[Kiga]

Yeah, you missed the

It would be like ancient runes.

Indeed, the greek alphabet especially if it is stylised would look like ancient runes to me (and I think I'm not the only one).

Edit: It would be like a logo that no one except who inquired don't know what it mean. But wich look nice and mysterious as runes

 

[Binky]

Works for the Roman alphabet too:

Call it the HyCu.

Everyone will like it.

You will like it too.

I'd naturally pronounce that "Hi Sue" (with a soft 'c')

Who is Sue, and what does she have to do with the project?

 

[Kiga]

It's not the same thing, what I think about is a logo which can't be read. It would like an icon not a writing. And Pyra may be written somwhere else on the console.

There would be Πύρρα and Pyra. As logo/title.

I think it can be a good idea but both should be well stylised and the problem would be to know where to put Πύρρα and where to put Pyra.

Grench: It's not bad but it is not easy to pronounce especially in french. And it's sound too soulless/fashion.

I guess most people would end up calling the device Muppa  

 

[Fzero]

I missed the Runes thing... Didn't realise you meant a type of script.


I thought runes were like some sort of gem, jewel stone for some reason... Not sure where I got that from?

 

[Kiga]

Maybe Temple Run' s gems? :lol:   or another game.

I guess most people would end up calling the device Muppa  

 Not false ! except if the style emphasizes the trait that is'nt like romanian alphabet. But this is risky indeed.

 

[Binky]

I can't say the name is much good if no-one can read, pronounce or google it.

I can think of lots of words with 'cu' in them that are pronounced as a hard 'Q'/'que' sound. I must be having a brain fart though as I can't think of anything with 'cu' in it that gets pronounced as, 'Sue'.

DragonBox HyCu - short for DragonBox HyperCube.

https://www.haiku-os.org/ is also an OS, HyCu is cucumber water.

It isn't a name but a logo. There was a time when google didn't exist. You still can google "what mean the logo on Pyra".

The major problem is that like Kodeln said it would be condused with Muppa.

https://www.haiku-os.org/ is also an OS, HyCu is cucumber water.

I was aware of HyCu being used as a water brand. It should be irrelevant though as that doesn't hit the same vertical market as the Pandora successor.

I wasn't aware of the Haiku OS, but since that is Haiku and an OS and this is HyCu a handheld console, I don't think that has a deleterious effect either.

DragonBox HyCu. We need enough people saying, 'yes' to get it on the list.

MMMMmm.... maybe if you're making a toy action figure for an 11 year old.
