    Voting: PureSmoker Prodigy V2 Logo Contest

    Well the big thing (and this applies to ALL our designs) is that just because it looks good on a computer screen doesn't mean it'll look good on stainless steel. I believe the pro-designers on the forum pointed this out. Should the etching be optional, I'm inclined to not have it etched until...

    Voting: PureSmoker Prodigy V2 Logo Contest

    As much as I like GrimmGreen's design (after all I voted for it), I agree that the etching *should* be optional. I do like the design of the Protege over the Prodigy V1 because it doesn't have any more work on it aside from the PS seal. Never underestimate the power of whitespace when working...

    My thoughts exactly - Steve must be overjoyed to have such a talented following :)

    Prodigy V2 Logo Contest :)

    As much as your left one is my favorite out of all I've seen, I'd swear this prodigy was made by Sony. I dunno if that's a good thing in terms of branding, product recognition, etc... I know it's not the exact same font - that would be *BAD* (see my font licensing post for commercial use)... but...

    Prodigy V2 Logo Contest :)

    Yeah never enough time to learn everything :) No sweat man it looks great! I'm just trying to help you, Steve, well all of us out as we all want a logo that is as clean as the device it's etched on. I'd swear Steve's changed his last name to Jobs because this device unlike the V1 is the best...

    Prodigy V2 Logo Contest :)

    You need to be composing your artwork as vector (e.g. Illustrator) and not raster images (e.g. Photoshop). Vector can be scaled up without pixelation, though shrinking sometimes requires pixel hand-hinting. Logos should always be vector images. Keep your source graphics as vector and then...

    Prodigy V2 Logo Contest :)

    Made a composite sheet of all my entries - the little forum thumbnails from prior posts are just too small to be noticed. Steve, thanks for clarifying about running text vertically -- that was how I always envisioned the V1 being as it always felt strange to not be able to read the text well...

    Prodigy V2 Logo Contest :)

    You make me glad I said something. I certainly don't want to discourage anyone from having a great time being creative :) just wanted to mitigate any potential issues that could arise. Fantastic creations by all!

    Prodigy V2 Logo Contest :)

    Thanks! That's exactly what i was going for in those particular submissions. Sidenote to all: Be careful what fonts you use as all are not necessarily licensed for commercial use.

    It may also be a good idea to not rule out vertically-running text as you can actually read it when you stand it upright (assuming new design can still do this of course ;))

    Prodigy V2 Logo Contest :)

    Here's a few from me - all vector, no raster images / resolution independent (avail on req as forum won't show thumbs, so exported png->jpg conversion via forum posting) - rough cuts

    Awful! Well at least he's getting sick between holidays - white blood cell count should be high come Xmas/New Year's :) Always a silver lining in there somewhere.

    How about a V2 Teaser

    95% failure rate within first year using traditional programs and NRTs... I'm looking forward to being in the 5% club in only a few more days!! I owe nearly half of this to the Prodigy V1 that I've owned since beginning of July. I think the V2 is going to make a nice reward present to ring in...

    PureSmoker V1 Owners -- The Day Of Reckoning ...

    I have the same problem, but now you make me hesistant to file a ticket if I have to send the whole unit back when I know it's the end cap that is stripped and not the inner tubing... I'll probably wait till after I get my V2. :p I've had mine 5 months. Casey, can you just throw a new endcap...

    Prodigy V2

    I'm in for the next Prodigy too as it was easy to dismiss the Protege being a 5 volt diehard. Just waiting for the doors to open on pre-order ;) I'd feel more comfortable having my V1 for backup instead of these aged 3.7v chinese battery configurations I know I will use to they are dead and...

    PRODIGY: Stick With The Old OR Go With The New ???

    Problem is I've never met anyone who wanted to go backwards -- 3.7v becomes equivalent to sucking air through a mcdonalds straw in terms of flavor and throat hit after going 5v+. Now I've never used a 6v device, but from what I hear it drinks juice more and compounds the risk to the...

    PRODIGY: Stick With The Old OR Go With The New ???

    I'll never go back to 3.7v again, so my pick is obvious. :D

    Wow very impressed! You've come a long way Casey .. erm.. you were great before and now you're even better! ;) I didn't forget BTW - you tend not to forget the best customer service you've had
