Possible new logo for Everlast ? What you guys think ???

[jp2code]

These newer inverter based machines (TIG, Arc, Plasma) - they are all MOSFET or this IGBT stuff?

I seem to recall someone teaching me once that inverter machines do not pull power from the wall until you actually weld with them, unlike the old school types that had big transformers inside. Is that true, too?

Lots I don't know, huh?

Everlast uses MOSFET's in their low end boxes and IGBT's in their high end technology boxes.

Transformer technologies have losses when magnetizing the core when the box is idle, and both resistance and reactance losses in the windings and core when being used -> these losses can be fairly high.

Inverter technology has very low switching losses when idle, and fairly low switching losses when heavily loaded, so the inverter does consume much less power than the tried and true transformer technology.

However, the transformer design is very robust, while the inverter technology is not nearly as robust -> nearly every trade off has some disadvantage...

Before I drop this topic: MOSFET and IGBT would be the Inverter technology, correct?

If not, what would be advantages/disadvantages of the inverter compared to the MOSFET/IGBT machines?

These small answers are much more educational for me than trying to read the literature that I walk away from scratching my head.

Inverter technology by definition means taking a DC input and creating and AC output, which is what is happening after the wall AC V is rectified. This technology can use MOSFET's, BJT's, IGBT's, and/or a few other semiconductor device types.

I believe Everlast only makes inverter type boxes, but Mark, Mike, Ray, Duncan, Oleg, etc... would know for sure.

Why change the logo, is there a problem with the current logo???

Right, we only make solid state inverter welders and cutters.

+1. I like the existing one. KISS.

That didn't really expand on the details, though.

You could tap into the great minds of everyone in the Everlast Welding Forum. Just have anyone interested in helping out the company make a sketch, design something on a computer, whatever the method, just upload to their design to the site. (This could be prime opportunity to open up another contest)

[Mike J]

Go for it! Unfortunately, I have zero artistic bones in my body...

The "comment" I saw was "I believe Everlast only makes inverter type boxes". My response was "Right, we only make solid state welders and cutters". So that is all we make at this time.

I didn't see a request for any details and not sure what kind of details either way?

As to you such variant ?

[Oleg]

Looking Good To Me !

Looking Good To Me !

I will make such to myself on a cart

Not trying to discourage you, but it is too complicated to reproduce on various media in detail, and it still way more than "simple" chic and you loose the product name because the seated welder overshadows the whole design.

Your design is not unlike Thermal Arcs with the arc sparkles, but more complicated. Theirs has a more simplicity and does not drown out the product name.

that decal will look really good on your welding cart!

[charger891]

Its also cheaper to duplicate one decal for all welders instead of making specific model no`s decals

[performance]

That's why this logo says it all:

Mark don't take all to heart.(и нехуй смотреть на другие компании ,в рот их ебать с ихними логотипами,надо думать о себе)Excuse hasn't sustained

1) I not the designer (Don't judge me strictly)
2) I not in which case, neither that nor to whom I do not impose.
3) It seems to me that not badly when the logo accurately specifies by sight to company activity.
4) I will have the only welding cart in the world with the only in the world a logo
5) And the most important thing-
I simply try to communicate with all of you

Guys to whom are necessary labels?
Address to me (JOKE)

Rulan

i will adapt this logo for carts , pedals , boxs
we will take out actual model name out

:Looks good
