Qommodore Technologies: Don't buy an ugly computer ... buy a QT/cutie!

Edit: Which is "better" at the end of the tagline: QT or cutie?

If the project would colaborate with www.qeep.net it could go like:

"Are you qeeping up with the Qommodore?

'Cause the Qommodore is qeepin up with you!"

With my recent registration of qommodore.com, the spam calls have come out in force trying to sell me webdev & marketing services. This is not my first domain, but I've never gotten so much contact from any previous domain registration (and I have a couple dozen domains; I like collecting them, apparently).

My most recent of about a half dozen calls today went like this.

Phone rings.

"Hello?"

"Hi Scott." (In a thick accent; I'm not opposed to an accent, I just know it was nobody I knew and thus should not be referring to me on a first name basis professionally.)

"What are you trying to sell me?"

"We're not selling anything."

"How can I help you?"

"We can help you with your website marketing and blah blah blah."

"And you offer that service for free?"

"No, who said that?"

"THEN I GUESS YOU ARE TRYING TO SELL ME SOMETHING!" {click}

Continuing to have fun with my 100% genuine faux computer company (just like those genuine faux pearls they used to sell on late night TV 30+ years ago). Created new logo & banner for the YouTube channel.

Oh that's nice, what about changing the tick in the Q to a T? My attempt is pretty sad, but you might better understand.

Interesting idea. My thought with this was to create something reminiscent of Commodore, but I'll play with adding a top to the tail to make it a hybrid T/tail.

I was thinking taking the red & blue parts of the tail and extending them 90 degrees from the upper ends. Opening inkscape...

Thank you so much for the suggestion! I like the new logo a lot more. Such a simple change yet I doubt I'd have ever come up with it on my own. Now I need to have T-shirts made. ?

Much like the VIC 20 had a cartoon character in the manuals, I've prototyped a mascot along the lines of cutie for your new company
