Mockups

I have started sketching out variations of how the site could look and I am in the process of building some mock ups in photoshop. I have a class critique next week on the 7th and I want to have several things to look at. I would like to have some business card and letterhead mock ups as well. The sooner I get the design set in stone the sooner I can start building out the site, which at this point looks like it will be a fairly daunting task. I want to allow enough time next semester to write code for the site because I am fairly unfamiliar with coding for web at this time. I know that this site will have to have e-commerce functionality and be linked to a parts database. I am sure that there are other components that will need to be coded, but I will address those as they come.

Business Cards

Looking for a manufacturer that can do engraved aluminum business cards. Two stand out at this point but the prices are very high. I am going to contact both companies and find out if they will do a smaller quantity. If not than I may be forced find someone that can machine a few locally. I don't want to abandon the idea so if push comes to shove I may be able to keep the look of a black brushed aluminum card while using plastic.

Working on Logo

That is where I am at today. I will post several options for each name when I am finished. Later this afternoon I plan on mapping out the website.

Identity

Right now I am in the process of sketching out ideas for the logo design. I have narrowed the options down to two, fission and singularity.

Fission: The process whereby one item splits to become two; The process of splitting the nucleus of an atom into smaller particles. Fission of Heavy elements produce large amounts of energy. Fission represents power or potential power and is relevant to the computer industry because the name of the game is computing power. At this point fission is easier to work with in term of representing it visually.

Singularity: A technological singularity is a hypothetical event occurring when technological progress becomes so extremely rapid that it makes the future after the singularity qualitatively different and harder to predict. An example could be the creating of superhuman artificial intelligence or the discovery of alien technology. Singularity is somewhat of an abstract concept and I am struggling to wrap my head around it, however I feel that the concept says a lot about technology and I like this name better than fission. Visually representing this concept will prove to be very challenging.

Anodizing

Here are some anodizing color options. There are many more outside of these examples.
