    Do we have any reason to suppose that Amazon will care?

    If they've made no moves to either continue the site or sell it, it's hard to see how it would be in their interest to spend time and money protecting whatever IP resides in the name.

    It’s still their IP, and they will have an army of lawyers dedicated to protecting all Amazon owned IP, bar none. The cost to them of rinsing this place through the courts is minimal after all - and who knows what someone might want to do with the brand ten, twenty, thirty years from now?

    I like it too. Maybe we should have a contest, between logos - not people. I'll think about it.

    I agree, but I only wanted to see the effect, because even my family members don’t know what DP stands for.

    Don’t worry, the honest opinion is appreciated.

    But, it is not a mix of font styles, different sizes yes; I used Helvetica by the way. The abbreviation of DPReview is most commonly ‘DPR’, this would also happen with DPRevived, I presume. Therefore - I think - revived should be written in lower case. But then it ends with a ‘d’ that has a pole sticking out. So, I have put the ‘d’ in upper case [ ‘D’ ], and resized it. Also by putting it in oblique [ ‘D’ ] gives a twist that someone can read it as ‘revive’ and / or ‘revived’ at the same time. Just thinking out loud, and English is not my native language.

    ‘DPrev’ definitely doesn’t cut it for me. Now your twist to see it as ‘dpREV’ is visual way better, but for most (new) people it would not be clear, REV… what REV? Revolution? But if people don’t like ‘revived’ then maybe ‘evolved’ could be an option.

    My final thought is that some discussion on this theme, will yield better end results.

    You may find this hard to believe, but my employers (a prestigious British university) blocked “DPR” on suspicion of it being pornography - and it took me early a year to get the block removed. The lesson seems to be that anything beginning’DP’ might be problematic for anyone wishing to read the site whilst at work.

    Still think DPRevived is 100% a better name than any of those suggested so far. “DPEvolved” does not trip off the tongue at all, and sounds super up itself, lacking all the wordplay of the former.

    Maybe it's a British thing, or maybe I've led a cloistered life, but I'm afraid I don't get the connection between "DP" and porn.

    Care to elaborate?

    I’d say to google it, but probably a bad idea 😂

    This is interesting. I just did a worldwide trademark search:

    Okay, thanks -- I see a couple of candidates for porn references scrolling through there. So I'll now consider myself 'edumacated' on the subject! : o
