Logo/Mascot

[Vild]

The kernel/OS needs a mascot and logo. (They can be the same)
All suggestions are appreciated :)

[WebFreak001]

a friendly talking top hat. I even have a draft already:

edit: wow I never would have thought that Nintendo would steal this for their Video Game "Super Mario Odyssey"

[anthony-y]

thank me later 👍

[bytorbrynden]

These are definitely original:

[Lubieerror]

Mix of ideas made vedry quick. Something like:

[whitebyte]

This thread is going to be epic.

[Lubieerror]

I think something starting on "D" should be nice for this project...

[andreas-center]

[WebFreak001]

Very original "non D copy"

[rjmcguire]

Would be cool to do something reminiscent of Next.

Would be cool to do something reminiscent of Next.

That's just a rough sketch, of course...

[rjmcguire]

@Gigabyte-Giant that might be a little too similar :D

[bytorbrynden]

@rjmcguire, agreed.
Perhaps the "Nex" part in "PowerNex" could be written using the colors seen in the NeXT logo?

First thing that came to mind looking at the above entries. (its a fighter jet made of biceps).
But in seriousness I find that the most celebrated mascots are characters and not Labeled Graphics.

So Here I present Nerbert the Flying Waleope:

[anthony-y]

lmao

[pineapplemachine]

Her name is PoNe (pronounced "pony").

[taylorh140]

The rider represents the the user... when given the awesome power of the kernel.

[taylorh140]

It could be pronounced the same as PWN I think that would be fun.

I did this quick basis in half an hour, I can do minor adjustments and stuff if needed. Ignore the lines that aren't black, those are guidelines.

[WebFreak001]

@ZILtoid1991 You shouldn't ask people to ignore part of your suggestion, they won't anyway. Just directly upload the result you want people to see

[M4GNV5]

@ZILtoid1991 pls make another screenshot without the windows 10 bar and i might upvote 😛. kthxbye

[ZILtoid1991]

Here's the version without the guidelines and the Windows 10 bar. My next ideas are to make the letters solid, give the "Power" a solid single color background, and each of the letters of "NEX" should have different colored backgrounds (red, green, blue) with uniform white letters.

[Vild]

@ZILtoid1991 I appreciate the work you are doing, but this is not what I'm looking for, I'm looking for a Mascot not a title image.
Something like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Computing_mascots

[anthony-y]

I don't mean to devalue anyone else's work but I think that @Lubieerror 's is by far the best actual mascot so far.

[ghost]

I'm horrible at this, but.
Sorry it looks weird.
Something like a Minecraft diamond sword?

[Vild]

The currently logo I'm working on, probably not final, but who knows

[anthony-y]

That last one with the gaps n shit is dope

[Vild]

That one is shitty because unicode doesn't have '◢◤◣' as fullsized characters

[CaddyDz]

+1 for the last one

[BadFactor]

+1 for the last one but i think it's to mich Space between the Flash and arrogant, and. Dont use the Name just the Flash and arrowtype

[Yokmp]

What does NEX stand for?

[Vild]

The name PowerNex comes from the words power and next. A kernel to power the next generation of hardware.

[jordan4ibanez]

This is Pow. He will help you in your journey into PowerNex :P
With a catch phrase:
