Nice choice... it sounds good, in both extended version (FinalBurn Neo) and acronym version (FBN) ! :)

This also means the main site for the emulator will change as well? Because it still shows as FB Alpha (and points to the old repository)... In any case, congrats for the new name! New name, new future for the emu!

The old site is owned by Barry, and we now have no control or influence over that site.  We have new domains for the new name but they just point here.

Also, the renaming of things will surely take some time, but it will happen. A more paranoid person would be worried that if Koch Media are using a new emulator written by Barry that has the name "FB Alpha", that is not what we all know as FB Alpha then there is a good chance at some point someone at that end is going to try and claim ownership on that name. A new name allows the project to move on away from the all f***wittery, which is what we all want :)

A bit confusingly, "FBA" was renamed to "FBNeo" in the sources (https://github.com/dinkc64/FBNeo/pull/19/commits/388cc91c3d1fc8e041dc081ad67ddf84dab03e64#diff-26abb56aafdb27ac67a1fb6dca7d8320). FBA was written in 3 ways (FinalBurn Alpha, FB Alpha and FBA).
Does that mean FinalBurn Neo in only meant to be written in 2 ways but not 3 (FinalBurn Neo, FB Neo but not FBN), or am I reading too much into it?

The first renaming pass was powered by several pints of Peroni so I wouldn't take any of it as gospel...

I believe all 3 are valid :)

In any case, I'm just happy the emulator continues, new name or not, this emu is my favorite (and it would be more if one day it emulates Konami GX games, but that's just me). I know about it because a friend that said it used to work on it recommended me for a lot of arcade games, and I say it: It's awesome!

All my support for FB Neo!

Is it just you by now working on the emu dink? Or you are having more devs involved?

Wow... long time not logging in, and I find this XD

First of all, I love the name, it moves to the future, sounds so dynamic and modern! I love it!

Second... I have to say I am pretty sorry for being so absent from a long time. RL things just made me even unable to at least say I wouldn't be able to help even a little bit with the emulator. Man, at this point, I even forgot anything about coding XD.

Still, I'm pretty excited to see FB moves to a new shiny future. Maybe I can't help with coding as I did before, but at least I will be still here logging in from time to time and helping with the forums as much as I can. Let's hope nothing else happens again to drag me away like last time XD.

Long Live FB Neo!

See ya!

Yes, we really need a new version number.. I was thinking about adding a few more fields:

yes fast home photoshop creation this afternoon, possible to modify it to find for example the shape of the original F for a graphic reminder

Really good! :) So (with your consent) it could be used as new logo... obviously the decision is in the DEVs hands! ;)

PS: personally I'm curious to see the logo with some alternative shades.

Post by: Stifu on May 23, 2019, 04:55:27 PM
Good logos usually fit in a square or circle. That phoenix almost does (except for his head that sticks out a bit too much). We could have 2 variants of the logo, a big one with text (like the ones shown here), and a smaller one that would be a square / round icon only (with just the "F" inside, like the old logo).

Anyway, v2 has a better font that is reminiscent of the old logo, but v1 was cleaner / less noisy.

Similar to the attached one! :)

Yes, the "F" in the V2 logo refers to the "old logo" style, but I prefer the uniformity (F and B use the same font) of V1 release.

To really replace the logo we need the logo, and icon, an (at a guess) 640x480px main screen, and something to go in the about box that's all better than what we already have.  Plus they would have to have the same F shape as the current one, I would assume. At one point in the distant past jan_klaassen gave me a copy of the original PSD files he used to make the current ones but I seem to have smashed that hard drive to pieces  :confused:

Post by: Stifu on August 11, 2019, 02:23:43 PM
I'd move the "Neo" a bit to the right. Due to the F's long top part, the Neo looks like it's too much to the left, to me.
Just truncate the top F part to end where the bottom part does to see what I mean.
Title: Re: a new name!
Post by: JacKc on August 11, 2019, 05:15:59 PM
I understand what you mean. In fact NEO is in logo center...but with optical effect, it seems it is too much on the left.

let's try with this one :

and splash one with our slogan :

Post by: Stifu on August 12, 2019, 01:52:53 PM
I like that better, but honestly, it still looks like it's too much to the left (it goes beyond the bottom left part of the F, but doesn't reach the bottom right part of the B). I'd just align it to the bottom right, but that may be just me.
Title: Re: a new name!
Post by: dink on August 12, 2019, 07:06:24 PM
JacKc, I love it.  Only suggestion would be to add a little more technical-minimalism to the background (kinda like the morphing fractals in the current startup background.)

I like the coloring but the shadow is
way to sharp. Maybe you should try to give
the shadow a fading blur... I can make an example

I've to say I'm not feeling so comfortable with this logo. Differences between F and B are noticeable.

I don't wanna itch you with this, but have you tried to use original "Final Burn" logo (the eldest one) and put the word "Neo" in front, or below, or even behind them?

You're welcome! I made a "splash-screen" for the logo created by JacKc. For the logo "design" you should ask him... :)

Hi KaaMos,

There is a story behind this logo... I kept the "F" which reminds the original "Final Burn" logo but also put a "B"  and the word "NEO" just under "FB" using modern fonts (which are very different) for people to show this has nothing to do with the past and the previous project.

Best regards.
