zborgerd 62 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 If anything, your binary should be "430" on the logo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 o_O Awesome discussion. zeke, I agree on cde's view on the previous logo. But I like the battery. One thing though, we should not be mistaken as a battery company. Would you think that is the case? Thanks for the renderings, zeke. You are quick. I think what is missing is that one visual element that screams MSP430 when you see it. If we can find that then we've succeeded. I joked to myself and said "I should render the DCO graphically. That'll do it." So, I ask, what is the one thing about the MSP430 that you feel strongly about? Either hate or love. 1. Timer? 2. DCO? 3. Interrups? 4. LPM? ...

zeke 693 Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 By the way, here's one more set based on the battery motif. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bluehash 1,581 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 More than two colors. I'll keep it to grey/Red or Black/Red. Thanks zeke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobG 1,892 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 If you want to use graphics, shouldn't they resemble chip in some way? Maybe DIL-14 package outline or just pads with "43oh" inside? All red and black. Maybe QFN package. I know emphasis is on low-power, but bottom line MSP430s are MCUs. Just a thought. bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fe2o3Fish 33 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I'll agree with RobG here. The 430 is an MCU, not a battery. I'd take off the little nub/battery terminal at the end and add 14 or 20-pins/legs to the rectangle around the 43Oh. Maybe put the legs at a slant to make it seem the 430's moving out! The battery-style logo could be useful, if printed on stickers, for wrappers around AA or AAA batteries for a 430 project. Just my thoughts. -Rusty- bluehash 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Making a logo would be a lot easier if we could answer this question: Is there something that screams "MSP430" when you look at it? Is it that cartoon rocket TI uses on the LP? Is it "430"? This is the fundamental question. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
