Does it look like a coil ?? Need some late night advice.

I make mods in my free time and was looking to machine a logo that I can do on my mill. Because I'm doing it on a mill its very limited to what I can do. Does it look like a coil ??


Some renderings

Shallow machined logo like an engraving.

Cut out with a colored background.

Yep, looks like a coil to me.

Awesome design, I really like it. Beautifully simple, I wish I had any CAD skills! I wouldn't even know where to start!

Maybe at a slight angle would give a more coily look without actually changing anything from a machining point of view.

I tried it at an angle similar to yours but it didn't look right on a box with straight lines if you know what I mean. I do like your design, might steal it

Stupid question probably but does the coil glow red when you fire it if so that looks awesome.

Not a stupid question at all, just got the same question on facebook. It could do, don't how many leds would be needed to lighten up a big logo like in the rendering.

IMO needs a slight angle to give the idea of 3D, could ditch the legs to stop it looking wonky. Back lit led would be best very dim/subtle (dark red looks good) maybe using semi optic plastic to disperse the light, no one would hate that, but it it was bright it would put many off inc me.

Rounded profile, at a slight angle, with shorter legs and I think it'll be bob on.

Would look good with a dim backlight.

I have to say I really liked the idea of the BooMBox.
It was a great name for a box mod and catchy.

I liked the boombox name but everybody seemed to hate it. I used to play competitive online gaming and I had the nick BaDaBinG, I was on tv once and the commentator was screaming when I got in a couple of head and started calling me BaDaBooM, said I was like the guy in the boom headshot video.
