Nice idea, but be careful because of the similarity to other banners... |

Hey there @ynnebbenny, I dig where you're going with this! One thing to be mindful of when using acute angles is the mitre limit setting of the stroke— it's visible at the inner angles of the outlined E in your design, because they don't have sharp points like they do on the outer edge. Also, the solid and outlined styles were originally only used for numerals, but there's of course room for creative license, just calling out that it's not to the spec 😄. Thought it would be fun to riff on this and try some variants. Feel free to mess with or use anything! Experimenting with the later (1986-onward) type treatment they used, as it is a bit more flexible / visually balanced for longer strings of letters IMO, but also more restrained and a bit less iconic, so somewhat of a tradeoff.

Great that you are having a play around too. Yeah that outlined E cut corners is a strange thing, Its not for the reason you mentioned, but yes on the fix list. From my point of view the end result will be a vector drawing for my 3d printed case. White text printed on a black case. |

Let's not use something that could be mistaken for a trademarked logo due to its visual similarity. The open source software https://asb2m10.github.io/dexed/ is using this:

Yeah definitely too close for comfort for an official logo, can be cool for personal device customization / 3d printed shells though 😄. |

For an official logo, Chipsynth OPS7 (the dx7 emulation by Plogue) is probably the best reference here, as it is commercial / would have dialed in the legal aspect. Their logo designs are solid and do a good job of retaining the feel without being overly derivative. |

Do we need a group banner?
I'm trying to come up with a design to put onto a 3d printed case that Im also working on. Im wondering what improvements on this design you might suggest.
