Finding a proper name and logo :)

I think the first one there is the most clever, since it avoids using an arbitrary collection of capital and lowercase.

Yeah the first one does have the most clearly defined [A] I think too.

But I do agree that those Blackletter styles are a bit too heavy metal or tattoo influenced, in my perception at least

Do you mean laserbeam's ones? They look like they've use a lowercase 'a' to me...

Yes, but its consistent, its not pyRa.

This is how simple i could make it.



Has a bit of 50s car, russian, new age feel.

Interesting and nice as an "abstract" logo, but completely unreadable unless you already know what to look for.

It's not a big problem if the case is PYRa, that just emphasizes the "fire" element in the name.

Abstractions.

Blackletter looks too much like a tattoo. I like the bottom one. Do the P and Y need to be fully connected? I think it would also work unconnected, and that would improve readability (it still needs a big serif to maintain the A, but 1/2 of the thin part of the stroke would be enough imo).

The important thing is to avoid Pyhd and be very readable as Pyra (also if you don't know what it is supposed to say), while looking as normal, "non-tattoo-like" as possible.

I agree - like I said, it looks nice, but doesn't suit a computer at all. The P and Y are only connected in that one I did, because I was imitating the basic shapes of Binky's logo. I did some earlier ones that have unconnected P-Y pairs:

FZERO: I like the stenciled one, has a bit of a retro feel to it. Also, for this one http://boards.openpandora.org/topic/14915-finding-a-proper-name-and-logo/page-46#entry300750/URL] try swapping the left end shapes of the Y, and right end shapes of the R - so the upper one is curved, and the lower is angled. I think it will read a lot better. There's no need for the upper part of the left hand side of the Y to be a (, a \ would work well, and it would look more like an R leg when flipped 180. Same for the tail of the Y and upper right ) of the R.

Also, have a happy holiday, and safe travels everyone!

Cant help but read pNd" here, but alas.

Edit:



 





I had some sort of an idea, that got lost, somehow.  Last one from me today.

Is anyone else reminded of the font HP use in some of their adverts?

You had to say it,  now I can't unsee it...  :rolleyes:

[Binky]

This is what it reminded me of - although less now that I look at them properly...

 

[Fzero]

...and that reminds me of Nightmare Before Christmas

Where have the cube based designs gone? They were the best ones!

 

[Fzero]

Yeah I like the cubes too

Looking at the HP logo though, I got inspired with this ....

Inspired by:

[WizardStan]

For the ambigram idea, what if you merged the P and the Y to form an A? Like this crappy drawing

[Pritchy]

Meh. Tried to go for something simpler and this came out.Very rough but you get the idea

 

[FaeMinx]

I think a Pyra ambigram in a cube shape would be a winner... anyone?
