What's in a logo

Post by Icky »

You may of noticed our logo :logo: appearing in different places on the forum.

It you haven't notice yet then we have been making it more available over the last 6 months. We have been placing it on the H4 and all the other boards we have been designing / building recently.

There is a lot of reasoning behind the logo as we wanted to make sure all our products are branded and work with the current H4 platform. In our recreation of an improved version of the ST, for legal reasons we cannot use the Atari logo nor want to as all this effort is a new breed of ST from our efforts.

So where has the logo been cropping up well here are a few selections of locations where it has been appearing:

One appeared in Australia - https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 039#p33039
Two logos in the same shot - https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 920#p28920
@exxos' Hot Chocolate - https://www.exxosforum.co.uk/forum/viewt ... 770#p38700

So how did we come up with the logo we have. Well I can't quite remember how the conversation went with @exxos but it was something like.

"We need a logo for our stuff."

"OK"

And I think the next day we had the :logo: and this video shows how we came up with it.
