Site needs a new name

The dropped shadow looks too photoshopy. lol

I am curious why word revived is there. Digital Photography was and is alive and well. Why should it be revived?

Still like that very much! 👍

Here are two additional versions with the text:

Yep. Several of us have made that point.

It's presumably meant to mash together the components of "DPR Revived", which makes short term sense as people are looking for somewhere to migrate to with the termination of DPR. But that will make less and less sense with the passage of time.

And meanwhile, as you say, the truncated form implies a different meaning altogether - that digital photography needs to be revived and that this site will somehow do it. Both propositions are beyond tenuous (laughable, even).

In short, the current name is perhaps an acceptable place to be for the immediate future, but not necessarily for the medium or long term. Interestingly, the starter of this thread seems to have been thinking along those lines, but has since begun vociferously arguing the opposite. Go figure. ; )

How about combining the "corporate logo laser printer" version from above with the infinity symbol from the other suggestion from below? How would this, or any creative adjustment to it, look like? (sorry, my imagination is somewhat limited to see this by myself)

So far the best and the less complicated.

We don't need lenses

( sure, I do need spectacles )

Lately I haven’t been following dprevived any longer, I’m still copying data of personal interest from DPReview. But I also have nothing to add anymore; I like the effort of simplejoy best so far.

I completely agree. I'm very pleased to see this site and very grateful to those who put in so much work to get it established in very little time. But DP Revived as a branding makes no sense to anyone other than refugees from DP Review. If you were interested in cameras or digital photography and looking for related sites to explore, unless you knew about it, I don't think DP Revived tells any newbie what it actually does - however nice the graphic design and artwork is. I don't think the name makes sense in anything other than the very immediate term. It needs to do what it says on the tin.....

I mean... perhaps we just have to go ALL IN on the "Revived" part:

😂 (Just kidding of course!)

The second one beat everything I saw as a logo.

NO KIDDING

1) Try to forget it !
2) Humor is a serious thing
3) Being able not to take seriously yourself is a great message
4) Yes, we are trying to revive this sector

0) the average age of THIS forum users is a telltale

I'm one of the newest addition to "People with a Camera in his Hands"
the others have that covered "It's in a drawer"

Say, do we have 10 people under 20 - 20 people under 40 ??

( not all the questions are really in need of an answer )

I'll through this thought out there. For the majority of us here now and others soon to join when (and if??) DPReview does shut down, the name DPRevived has meaning. But as the years go by and folks new to photography find this site (hopefully) they might wonder, "Revived, what does revived mean? Was digital photography dead?" They'll have no reference.

But also, I'm not sure it feels right to tie this site's existence (via its name) to the demise of a previous one. Why not a fresh start with a new name that has no connection to this painful chapter in our lives. (sarcasm mode on/off for that last phrase).

I know, I'm the only one that's thinking like this. Feel free to ignore.
