I do not really like that font type but I’m not a design expert

I had the same idea!!! This was an early concept but the problem with the line in the middle is the inconsistency that it brings to the design. But I really like the idea!

funny enough I like Pimax Horizon more then “8K”, it already was misleading and IS misleading again with Pimax 4K. But this time it steps up, the Pimax 4k first generation had at least a 4k display even though it couldn´t display 4k, the new generation hasn´t even a 4k display but is still called 4k. Now the 8k, has no 8k display, nor can it display 8k - it would fully deserve the name 4k this time - but they already used it on the old one.
I guess Pimax + Fancy-Big-Word would do it great, Horizon is good because this THE feuture of the new pimax, that outstanding FOV, not the resolution.
Quantum, Eyefinity, Eye-in-finity, Full-VR,
I can’t read it. I like the branding as it is presently with Pimax. They already own the 8K VR namespace now. Don’t mess with it. They will probably be the first to true 8k anyways. Then they can call it the 8K Horizon or something. I do very much like Horizon, but I don’t wanna mess with things when they are zoning in now.

I do not want you to take it the wrong way, but there is one thing that I do not like and it is the typeface; it seems more typical of a coffee company. The “H” looks like steam from a cup, the “O” looks like a coffee bean.
The letters have very thick strokes like looking for a 70s look, but for what? Thus the text is less readable, especially from a distance in a poster.
You are totally right! I’ll work on another typeface. Thank you!

Thanks for the effort.

All these logos look terrible.
The one thing that distinguishes Pimax 8K from other VR units is the wide FOV. I agree that it should have another name to avoid the constant review qualifications and to address its unique feature. That said, at first I liked the name Horizon. After thinking about it for a while, although better than 8K, I don’t think it is best. I think I understand the intent behind Horizon as being related to the wide FOV but a horizon relates to the line where two planes meet, usually the earth and sky. While this may apply to some things users will experience with the 8K, the name should address the concept of a wide FOV regardless of a horizon such as one might find underwater or in space. That is why I like the name Panorama better or just Pano for short.
Hurts my eyes… Love the effort into it though. But for me, no.
Please a little bit less on the futuristic theme.
It has to have a part of recognizable ‘here and now’ so people can relate to it.
If people can relate to it, it stands a chance for adoption. If not, than that is a dealbreaker.
those lines remind me of the classic IBM logo and I really don’t see why logo’s should go back to that style.
Just put it next to Oculus and Vive typefaces and try to be equal or better and newer

How about a robotic fist ripping back the eyelids of a human with their terrified face and massive huge eyes looking far sideways with their mouth in an O as a virtual world of dinosaurs and space ships come from every angle.
Slogan heading : PIMAX SHOW EVERYTHING
Sub heading: Pimax 8K with ultra wide FOV. Competition? What competition!
Abe the robotic serial killer. Lol
Allrighty thennnnnnn
If unfamilar its one of the vr experiences in steam
I agree with the premise that things should be better named… but counting on a smaller player to a) do so first and then b) make a difference is a bit naive. It would take one of the major display manufacturers to buck a marketing-friendly but misleading naming system, because whoever tells things more truthfully will be at a marketing disadvantage to all the other players for a while, until they can make it catch on (or they abandon the idea).
This occurs in all sorts of fields though, misleading marketing ‘standards’ emerge over time. It’s not only displays. My new 6TB HDD (so six trillion bytes)? Actually 5.45 TB. Various manufacturers have been sued and settled on this over the years, but they still consider it ‘better’ and ‘more profitable’ to keep on using the decimal based byte count. Remember CRTs? They were always 1" smaller than their listed diagonal size, because the edges were covered up by the frame.
A smaller company like Pimax, which names, trademarks, and keeps a catchy, easily memorable name, even if misleading is probably doing the right thing… business wise. As such I wouldn’t expect them to try and fix the system while the giant market share big boys are still out there advertising their 4k, 8k, displays. At this point, you probably would need governmental standards/advertising laws to get truth in many fields.

Hard drive mfgrs were dinged by not following the existing standards. Ie 1000k = MB when the preceding standard as used in Memory configuratings (Dram, 30pin sims, ddr etc) & software uses the standard of 1024k = MB
Displays originally followed these standards for years. This is also why 1080p was never called 2k as it has less than 2048 being 1920.
Qhd being fondly called 2.5k fits while 4k Uhd does not.
