Silk Screen Poll

[kuru]

How about "2 Months Later..." or "Hellolol" (or was it "hellol") or even "First Edition"

First batch just doesn't seem right.
And maybe in Gold letters instead of the plain white?

hellolo

Actually, it was hellollo. Happy to make a contribution here. *Coughs*

Edit: how about just "#1"

 

[xweb]

I voted for the 1 over the logo. I would really prefer the one not cover the logo but you can't please everyone.

 

[kollau]

definitely prefer the "first batch" text instead of a logo which could mean "pandora 1", "first pandora" or "what does this little symbol mean? it's too small". We've all been talking about the "first batch" for more than a year by now, so why not label it like that? Maybe it's confusing for non-pandora-users, but hey: it might make our hearts beat faster and helps to forget all the time we waited for this from the beginning. because that's what we paid for last year: the first batch, giving our money to people to work with and to create a unique, amazing product.

If the second batch would be (in)officially called second edition/version, people may think it's improved, better than the first version, so "batch" is pretty nicely picked.
yet, i don't think the "first batch" text should be that big. and a pandora logo containg a 1 is too small. some letters are doing their job better here, i think. (that's why i don't mind having a "bt", "wf", "usb", "sd" instead of little symbols)

And I don't really get the argument "an english text is not really universal". this whole project, those forums, where the whole pandora idea has been created, uses the english language and even in non-english blogs (note: my horrible english should proof that english is not my mother tongue ) people used the word "batch". and since the next batches (which might go to third retailers) won't have such a text, i dont see a problem (besides some people who joined these forums a few weeks ago and are upset about waiting for the second (or even third) batch )

Personally, I like the 1 over the Pandora logo... looks tasteful and unique.

Also, it's interesting looking at the folks that "voted" for the First Batch. Yesterday was quite a busy day for first time account registration. :rolleyes:

Grow up people... this is a community poll, not 4chan.

Anyway, let's just ditch the poll and go with Kagato's stuff.

 

[Paradox]

sorry but all this first batch stuff is retarded and very unprofessional looking, I definetly won't be pre-ordering now if it's going to have some tacky text like that on it.

 

[Near_Kstor]

In the other thread about the silk screen... someone suggested it...

The autograph of the OpenPandora Team on the back of the Pandora...
THAT is way cooler/classier than any symbol or expression you can print.

 

[riboshom]

I (am not the pre-owner of a first-batch's Pandora but I) would like to see something more permanent, like the word "First!" engraved under the Pandora logo, on the top of the console.

I know, it's crazy and would probably cost twice the price, but it still have much more value!

And it stick to the spirit!

First! :rolleyes:

... while i dont have the same opinion, you can just errase it away with the right chems or with some "magic Erraser"
i usually use it for Computer maintenance but accidentally errased some leters on a keyboard with it, learned and used cleaning putty for the keyboards so on.

and sorry but i the first bach doesnt sound all that bad, actually does good to give it a added value for the coolectors point.

[danielliu88888]

sorry but all this first batch stuff is retarded and very unprofessional looking, I definetly won't be pre-ordering now if it's going to have some tacky text like that on it.

your decision on whether to get it or not rested solely on the fact that some people want some sort of badge to indicate theirs as special first edition sort of things? A badge which is (a) easy to remove, ( B) not even finalized, and (c) may not even appear? The very fact that we're discussing it was enough to turn you off of pre-ordering?
May I suggest that your priorities be re-examined?

edit for spelling.

 

[Sphinxter]

Word up, is nothing sacred anymore? Kagato it is.

also at these heights are there still preorders available? i thought there where a lot of people swarming for one



... Hmm i also thought that IP Boards had a enhanced security so no one with less than x post could vote in (maybe it was the smf boards)

 

[gruso]

They sold out the ~150, but allocated another 50 from the webstore reserve.

I don't know which is sadder - that people would create extra logins tot ry ans scew the results, or that anyone would decalre the poll invalid and declare their own favourite option the winner.

Did all the new accounts vote for "First Batch"?

I beleive that a great deal of the value of a Pandora has nothing to do with the (possibly tacky) "First Batch" sticker. There seems to be a larger-than-usual proportion of "collectors" attached to this venture, who will appreciate something of this sort, but it really doesn't detract from what the Pandoira IS or DOES. Although if you still have not pre-ordered at this stage, with only two months to go, you may not have wanted a Pandora very strongly to begin with?

There are ALWAYS more Pandoras available

Yep, every new account that Gruso and I posted voted for "First Batch". I've looked through everyone who voted for the 1 over the logo, and no new accounts voted for that. It's sad.

 

[MDave]

It was kinda funny how there was an even split (with a couple more votes for '1 over the pandora logo option') then suddenly a massive take over for the 'First Batch' option I wonder who the culprit is.

 

[elwing]

what is even sadder is that my perfectly valid vote for "first batch" will prolly get ignored because of theses fakes acount... with most devs voting "1" and all theses fakes acount voting "first batch". I'm sure that the "1" option will pass, even if the match "1" vs "first batch" was a close one...
