Title: Feedback on my name and logo please
Post by: Digiman on May 07, 2012, 08:15:44 AM
Both are public domain fonts with a little tweak , the name is not registered, and the colours are classic WB 1.3.

Ta :)

Oh yeah and it will be accompanied by the initials "A.M.I.G.A" embossed on the case, the letters are shorthand for the machine's description and none of the A's are short hand for Amiga, AmigaOS or even AROS and are words in isolation that can never be copyrighted. This will replace the "A" in "A1200" probably too :)


(the five letter acronym will not be revealed publicly just yet but it's a sentence describing the essence of the pioneering features Amiga from day 1)

Im not sure what youre going to do with the logo, are you going to print this and use it as a sticker for your customised amiga? anyway, Im not too fond of the way you changed the C into the K, but I guess thats personal taste. I would for sure give it more spacing on the left-hand side, so move the entire C/K= - thingie a bit to the right. also, I hope this is not the final resolution you are using? :)

No it's just a quick mock-up, the fonts are resolution independent. Also have white text on black version too.

And yes ideas for legal branding on cases.

(50% of voters think it's rubbish so far :lol:)

Hmmm when you put it like that it does look pretty cack! :)

@mods- I'm not selling anything, I just wanted some opinions for future reference so not sure why it's in market place from general chat. Still have to make detailed CAD models before I can get a single quote for custom cases.

I'm not sure what to say; It looks like it designed by a six year old.....
You DO want honest opinions, right?

You could keep the 'C' just call it Commiedore!  The ideological choice! Use it or die!!

I think thats a fantastic motto!! :)

If it was me, with any custom cases I'd just have the space left for the logo blank, so people can attach their own logos or even a real amiga badge if they like.
Changing the "C" to a "K" seems to make it look russian. Can't say I'm a fan I'm afraid!
I do like the fonts though...
What are they, pretty please?

"Confusingly similar" names won't stand up in court. See e.g. Windows vs Lindows.

It will would have if Lindows had used nearly identical M$ trademark in conjunction with it's name.

Good news, we can use Amiga now if not Commodore :)

Not the work of a six year old, just six minutes haha.

It did

But the whole point is that only trademark owner can protect it, and even that
Sonny never killed "Sunny". But again, leave legal mambo jumbo be. Daddy complied to "friendly request" that didn`t make any friends and everyone is happy. Just Leo has lost some personal credit as Amiga user.
