Finding a proper name and logo :)

PCB tracks should be constrained to 45° angles

This is very nice, I like that the lines run off the sides too.

This would look great on the lid or back of the device I'd say.

...If could have a little LED magic on the Pyra's lid too, so this could light up, would be even sweeter

That looks very good binky. Can you colour it like this picture?

The glowing red letters on top look ace imo.

That one is cool.

Maybe it have to be more symetric on the lines or letters but it look so good.

Electronics and flames might not be the best mental image to convey

What do you mean?

 

[comradekingu]

Pyra means flame/fire and the latest efforts have been of electronic imagery. Maybe the circuit moniker would be a better idea for "dragonbox"?

Why not? Not exactly flames of course, just red hot circuit traces as in "gaming till the traces glow".

The logo looks okay, but that many through holes/things between layers aren't exactly realistic, what about trying to remove some of those and add some more pads? Ideally by someone who has actually done pcb routing for a real project before.

 

[comradekingu]

There is something about having open traces on a device which instinctively tell me not to touch that part. Even if they are fake.

You mean it should have more pads for SMDs?

I've certainly seen PCBs with large numbers of circular pads for through-hole components - although they aren't what you'd expect in a high-tech device like the Pandora/Pyra.

I mean if it would be possible to make it symetric it would be better. Especially if lines will not be extended till Pyra's edges.

And circles on lines are a little bit too much at the foot.it looks overladen and not symetric.

If lines are extended till  edges it will be good or some modifications have to be done.

Exactly.

And grouped in a way so you can actually imagine the parts which would go on that pads. Single lonely pins look kind of strange to me.

But on the other hand I'm certainly no circuit designer, so I might be wrong with everything I say about.

Just for your information:

I'm following these threads and the logo ideas, but won't find the time before after FOSDEM.

I do want to fix up the logo in February

 

[FaeMinx]

^ Great! I'll be back from the festival in a week.  Maybe maybe I'll have some time for this.

Colour your pyra logo red like the picture i posted above and it will look sweet!!

Make it pink and it will look even better because I wrote it in a bigger font and added more exclamation marks!11!!

You don't say.

 

[spud42]

Here's a couple using existing free fonts, to show what might look like

if not for a logo then i would definitely like these as desktop images!

Meh.

Just played around with this ambigram made from semi-circles with cut out sections

Was real simple initially, then cut out the smaller circles as shown in the bottom image, which I think make the letters look clearer
