Finding a proper name and logo :)

[God Ginrai]

I'm aware ED is our little dictator, but I think you are taking something which sounds like a spontaneous thought as an order which needs to be followed on death penalty.

Honestly, I'm not taking it as an order, I'm using it as backing to get you guys to stop suggesting orange, because that is the GP2X's color.

Here's an idea of mine based on DFP's design

 I see eyBa.

Thought I would vectorize this and put it on a case to see it. Maybe a bit hard to read on the case. Seems like the device model itself wouldn't need a logo, rather we should be looking more for a legacy dragonbox devices logo instead??

What if we got rid of the bottom lines but still angled the letters, so it is reminiscent, but an actual departure from the Pandora logo? Like so:

^that's nice.

Hmm, it does make the letters a lot more readable, but looking at it in isolation it makes me wonder why the letters are written at an angle and why there's an angle above them with flames coming off it - it looks like two separate 2d things.

That is not needed actualy, small changes, big difference. More talented GFX guys may polish this more please. ^^

 It's a logo. The only rule for a logo is to be easily recognized. This variation I proposed is easily recognized. Also, it's easy to read, which means that people can quickly know the name of the device. Plus, on examination, it's possible to notice it is derived from the Pandora logo.

Uh, no. The point was to have something that wasn't almost a carbon copy of the Pandora logo, but was instead "reminiscent".

I've already edited the Logo Now the Box is less boxy but still some kind of isometric. Flames appear now more out of the box instead ot above. I would say not much left to see a Pandora logo in there.

@Pritchy,

you can retrieve the 3d model here:

https://www.wetransfer.com/downloads/993900c5394b18b9ae4bec7910cb705920140205012208/20bfcb019d39a938fac945bdeaad5d1520140205012208/0fa40e

There is a LWO and an OBJ file. Flat model.

You can find this file on gp32x forum, the owner is Clean3d.

There is a possibility the original file has texture maps and so on, I can´t remember.

Here his term of usage:

That looks worse, IMHO. You making a logo for Fahrenheit 451?

Maybe get rid of the line and just have PYRA mirrored four sides and have the flames in the middle of it?

 I'm sure that can be done, however, I don't see myself liking it. :\

Interesting, but feels very... neon sign... ish. Not sure if that really makes sense for a device like the Pyra.

The flame or just that in general?

 

[LEOXD]

Quick thought: Would a literal dragon box (box, somehow emitting fire or burning, with dragon-wings) make sense?

Too much, I think. How about just have the whole box on fire?

liking this without the full lines along the bottom of the letters. I do think it is notquite right at the top. the corner the flames are coming from isnt right the perspective is wrong.... the top of the box  doesnt look parallel to the bottom. the angle of the corner is too acute making the back corner appear too high . i hope you understand what im trying to get at.  the top of a box in perspective is not square. thats why some logos look like hexagons.

 

[Fzero]

I think the top of this box might be parallel to the bottom... Here all I done was copy that top line and flip it around and moved to the bottom, it looks ok to me, in that it's aligned with the bottom of the letters still, or is that not what you mean?

I also think the top line would be nicer if it curved around the top curve of the [E] and [A] just a little bit. I've tried to show that too in the image above. Just a little flick, rather than the sharp line

 

[Monkfish]

Excellent development from this:

I like these (especially Fusion_Power's interpretation):

Nice work!

I hadn't noticed before that one with the cut into the flame above where the [Y] is, that looks good. Bit rough on that pic but if cleaned up would be a nice touch

 Actually, the mirroring. I don't want to be seeing the word Pyra more than once.

It reminds me of book burnings. Not something I want any logo to remind me of.

Something like this? Traced the flame quickly.
