Finding a proper name and logo :)


Do we really want to focus on low-quality graphics for a device e that can do much more than play old games?

I generally consider pixel art to be higher quality than the average textured mesh.

Edit: It's like a hand drawn portrait versus a passport photo taken at a photo booth.

I like pixel art, it is a lot of work to do, but I don't think it fits a system which will have enough horse power to probably emulate some win95 / win98 games.

I think it could still be cute, and I think it fits a system like the Pandora well. Both are made for minorities, by small companies/individuals, take a lot of time to perfection (but in the end of course it is reached :-) ), etc.I don't think we absolutely need pixel art, but if someone makes a good pixel art logo I'll judge it by the same criteria as other logos.

I just can't have someone claim pixel art equalling

low-quality graphics

Edit: One time I came across a huge example of excellent pixel art, at least the equivalent of a 5m*3m painting afk. I can't find it anymore. -.-

I don't know anymore what it showed, but I remember it was on it's own on a site, filled most of the screen (at least) and had some magnification tool to be able to study it properly.

Perhaps pixel art isn't the way to go,  but I think it's still worth exploring the concept a bit at least...  perhaps someone will come up with something that works surprisingly well.  Lacking any kind of direction from ED,  I think it makes sense to try out  as many different concepts as possible in the meantime.

I guess to make it convincing it should actually be made in Eagle or Kicad or something.

Would be a possibility too.
 
Here's a couple using existing free fonts, to show what might look like

Your first one is nice even if I still prefer the flame.

I don't think letters are good on the device.

The Letters are great for the website but not for the device.
