Logossssss

[RollTime]

So I'm planning a new PC which I plan to call Exabyte (mildly silly but I like it). Here's the PCPartPicker:

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/673mq4

And here's the planned logo (which I want to make a vinyl sticker out of and put on the side of the c ase):

Thoughts on the logo (though any comments on the pc would be appreciated, that's really not what I'm looking for right now)?

If anyone wants to just make a logo, go ahead (and massive thanks, of course).

I'd only endorse that logo if you're actually putting an exabyte of storage in it

Alas, I do not have the cash for 1,000 petabyte projects (nor the space in my house).

For $50/month you can get an exabyte on google drive

The letter spacing is a bit odd and that notch on the bottom slanted bar of the E's could be smoothed.

No... No you can't... It's $99 for 10 TB.

Woah... Someone commenting on the actual logo...

Thank you!

That's G Suite. It's for companies. And even if you did do this, they would most likely not let you use a whole exabyte (never mind the upload time). That would raise some questions at google HQ.

Looks good. Where are you going to stick it?

Remember they receive more than 1 petabyte of data every day. I have a G suite account and I tried to upload as much data as possible for fun. I only hit 3 terabytes before giving up.

Guys can I hear some feedback on the logo itself please.

The side of the case, I think. I may run a competition/giveaway to design one. That would be fun.

It's good, increase the resolution by a lot though, the aliasing is really, really bad.

Well, yeah. This is just a rough outline (the kerning is off too).

[SquintyG33Rs]

from a design perspective, it lacks a sense of cohesion. there has to be a tying element.

 

something maybe like this:

 

or maybe like this:

 

or maybe cut the B at 45

Neat idea but I would maybe make a change or two.  First thing is the top of the letter "B".  Extend the top of the letter "B" more over toward the letter 'A".  Don't make contact, just bring it closer some.  Then the lettery "Y".  Instead of the letter "Y" being slanted over to the left, I would bring the bottom straight down, not slanted..  That's it for me.  Good luck.

Can you use the up slanting slash in the x as the right side of the a? My thinking is that might resolve the abundance of negative space in that area of the OP logo.

That looks great! Thanks for the help.

Honestly, my pet peeve is when people just put nothing but a PcPartPicker list. If you want to replace almost everything in my build, please explain why.

1. 360mm rad is better for Lacing

 

2. Board is black, so better for your colours.

 

3. Cheaper and better RGB ram.

 

4. Better SSD 

 

5. Reverse case, I think they look cooler.

 

6. PSU was horribly overpriced.

1. Lacing? Unsure what that is, to be honest.

2. My board has onboard Wi-Fi and bluetooth, which I need, and I don't want to bother with a card for that (Aesthetics are not really very important to me)

3. Good point on the RAM. I'll swap it out.

4. Also good point on the SSD.

5. I don't. 

6. I don't skimp when it comes to PSUs. I wanted to go high quality just to be safe.

But they're around the same in performance, electricity quality, build quality...

I missed the SeaSonic on the tier one of the PSU list... 

Oops. Well, thanks for the advice then.
