P&|gasm ftw!
Pandora Logo?
- Thread starter letsridebmx104
- Start date
I like P&|a, it is witty it is geeky and it separates the Pandora from the other handhelds. It will be a bit more pricey than the competition so it is ok to give it a bit of an elitist appeal.
Stuff like this will draw devs and geeks to the Pandora like flies to honey. They will be the first offenders and the rest will follow.

As such I don't think it will EVER be "taken seriously" anyway. And by "seriously" I'm guessing you mean like the ipod or iphone. Which is fine, because I personally don't take Apple products seriously anyway.
I feel I'm in a small minority in believing that if
a) p&|a has real good build quality (unlike the appalling original 2X models)
B ) We can fully access all the hardware and have proper X11 2D and 3D acceleration at launch
c) They manage to produce it in decent volumes at the promised price point / approx time frame
then the Pandora will be a HUGE hit, massive! We're talking bigger than the C64, no really!
Look at the EeePC, its FLYING off the shelves- you can't get them for love nae money but its not as 'unique' a computing device, doesn't have as much geek appeal as the Pandora I feel. I've been considering getting at EeePC but at that size (ie non-pocketable) I'd also want an optical drive in it- maybe the next revision will have one? The EeePC has done wonders already for the booming budget Linux computing device market and will help prime the market for Pandora, the 'Amiga of the 00ies' ('Naughties'
Computer hobbyists aren't in the minority anymore - being geek is positively encouraged these days and there's a huge market for cool geeky devices now.

I am afraid I have to agree, especially seeing as kids these days have been brought up on computers instead of wooden horses, dolls and plastic guns. The computer geeks of the world are now a dying breed. And because of this, the Pandora will be recognised by the public for what it really is, an amazingly powerful, feature packed pocket device.danboid said:I feel I'm in a small minority in believing that if

I can only add a d) point here - luck. I really think (hope) if those 4 points are met p&|a will be a hit. No doubt.danboid said:

Am I the only one who dislikes using p&|a? Okay I got the joke straight away but commercially it's useless.
Nah, don't think it will be that big. I'm sure it will be a success, but it will only be a huge hit when big companies start making commercial games for it. I don't see that happen.danboid said:
Also I think the Pandora will be launched too late to really benefit from the eeepc effect. There are even eeepc look-a-likes appearing right now, and I think within a few months we will have a lot more choice in the small laptops /handhelds segment.

Who said so? As far as I know the Pandora aims for the GP2X usergroup and it may also attract people that want to use it for the PDA/laptop capabilities. It is not meant to compete with DS or PSP, those are for the kids. P&|a is just great. Advertise with Pandora and use P&|a as logo.sbock said:

Interesting Logo ideas here in this Thread. I like simple ones, these open Boxes, only one or 2 colours are good. But there always should be some kind of mysterious shining from inside the Box which indicates, that something is inside, something powerful.

I did:fusion_power said:Interesting Logo ideas here in this Thread.
because it was a box, and kinda pixel like, which emulates the old style. I had an idea that kinda sliced through the pixels, but it didn't work.
Adition: A mono logo is easier to stamp etc....

The point of a logo, is that you don't have to get it, if it's done right. Just has to look nice and P&|a represents the console well I think and should be easy to turn into a nice logo. And as mentioned the word Pandora can also be put on the console somewhere, and the console should probably be referred to as Pandora.
Agreed, but P&|a is clever, it just looks ugly.

How delusional can you get. Naming it the Suppository with a graphic usage logo would not alter it's impact.

Among other things, Coke owns the cola market because when you see text that looks remotely like the Coca-Cola text, you think of one particular soda pop. Because when you see a red background with a white curvy line going across it, you think of one particular soda pop. Because when you see a can of pop that's coloured red, you think "I bet that's a cola drink".Sphinxter said:
Of COURSE it has to do with successful marketing in general, but you cannot deny the fact that an easily recognisable logo (Apple, anyone?) makes marketing a LOT easier. If you're going to market a product, it's useless if your logo is a jumbled mess.
When thinking of logo creation, you have to think outlines. Again, look at the Apple logo. Look at the Windows logo. Look at Pac-Man. I'm not saying an easily recognisable and memorable logo automagically gives you good sales, but I'm saying that marketing outside of the enthusiast market is useless without one.
