Finding a proper name and logo :)

[Binky]

/me likes Pyragon - and only the .com domain seems to be taken.

It sounds like a fancy geometric shape <reaches for the GIMP>...

BTW.. It might be useful to create a poll on another technical forum and ask them what they think is a good name for a device like the Pandora (without mentioning Pandora - just say it is a multifunctional Linux tablet / gaming device). You will have an objective party looking at the names suggested then.

since you say that, you may want to replace the "gon" with "tope", which is an N-dimensional generalization of "gon"

I think I'll put my vote in for DragonBox and Pyragon. DragonBox sounds a bit generic but seems to be the safer option. Pyragon has more personality.

^ Brand new member vote only counts 1/2  Just kidding.  I vote for DragonBox too.

Phoenix is nice, but it has been used a lot already.

I still like Pyragon. In terms of logo, I kind of like the "letters fit together" style, like this: (but done better than what I can do in 5 minutes of gimping)

There could of course still be a more abstract logo on top of that.

Sorry, I dislike that.

I prefer some abstract thing like the Pandora Logo.

No Word, please.

It's because you know it already.  If I don't tell people/you what this is, they/you would think that this is just some abstract logo. 

Right, that's what I want.

Just some abstract logo.

My vote goes to Pyragon.

Sounds much better than DragonBox.

I don't mind very much how it will be called, anyway here my idea:

pedora

(phonetically similar, but with the ED bit inside and used rarely on google)

OK, here's pandaphin, pandaephin or pandafin (for domain's sake):

Pedora sounds like a pedophile edition of Fedora. Bad idea.

@ED : Good to see some P2 discussion started 'from the horses mouth' Was wondering how you'll choose the name, will you pick the one you like the best or open it up to a poll?

FWIW I think DragonFly is the best name put forward by the community so far, but DragonBox sounds cool to me too. I wouldn't worry about search rankings and domain availability too much, build it and they will come!

By that I mean if you intend to keep P2 as a niche device then there are far more important things than worrying if the domain name is dragonfly.com or dragonflypc.com.

Long time lurker here . I actually thought I had an account before. I went to go sign in and it said there was no such member, so I registered. Glad to finally be apart of this community!

LOL, maybe it can increase the traffic on the site !!

"Pyragon Pau"

Sorry, that was not a serious proposal.

Pyragon still sounds good to me. It's better than Pyrrha (as tricky to spell as diarrhea), more original than Myriad, has a subtle reference to dragons without containing the explicit word "Dragon", has a subtle reference to Pandora (through Pyrrha), and has plenty of logo potential. And it sounds like it could be a character in some Tolkien-esque RPG

Pyragon is fine and currently my no 3. Reminds me of the 1979 pinball classic Paragon.

 

[FaeMinx]

Pyragon

The more I hear it, the more I like it.

Sounds like an unknown mythical creature - rarely seen, but very powerful/potent.

Perhaps a hybrid creature...

We could have a running meme for the device / creature... what is the Pyragon?

Whoever's asked will give a different account - depiction... but one thing is agreed upon... It's AWESOME!!!

 

[Askarus]

The own and real Pyragon: http://nerf.wikia.com/wiki/Pyragon

OpenDragoon is virgin on google.

 

[ingoreis]

OpenDragoon?

Sounds good...

....PanDragoon(my Tip) sounds funny,

but

OpenDragoon

Sounds very good and Serious.

Compliment for finding it ^_^

Anything with "Open" in it will get 2 bonus points from me. OpenDragoon doesn't sound too bad.
