Greetings!

I'm not much good at logos, but I noticed the structural similarities 
between 'POV' and 'RAY', and had a brief burst of inspiration.

Once you view the image, this should make sense:  'POV' reads across the 
top line, 'RAY' reads across the bottom, and the loops at either end, 
well, I just thought they rounded it out nicely.

A more talented soul than I would probably run a spectrum hue through 
the loops (or treat them as a hollow, hemispherical cross-section of a 
toroid that runs behind the text), and add depth to the stalk of the R, 
the a, and the stalk of the Y, to make them stand apart a bit more.

Feel free to rip it off and make better variants, if you think it's got 
some value.

In the ongoing search for a cool logo, I just wanted to make sure the 
structural aspects of the name itself were recognised.

Henry.

This certainly looks a lot better than my attempt at the same thing(see 
the message Logo attempt - POV Logo.jpg).

That's by far the best logo I have seen so far (especially the black and
white one).

Besides, the idea of merging the letters is were good.

The colours of the colored version are a bit dark ( but that's a personnal
taste).

Again, this concept looks familiar. :)

Hey, neat! I would maybe go without the rings though.

The concept is the best I've seen yet. The font doesn't look very good,
however. Perhaps a more futuristic font would portray povray better?

All the futuristic fonts I've got have got PR,vY in proportions that 
don't allow a neat overlay.  Very few of them have serifs, either, which 
means they end up looking a bit bland (and don't provide obvious points 
for the loops to connect to).

Now, if you know of any good futuristic serif fonts...

Henry.

This definitely cool, but I keep reading 'Cray' instead ;)

Greetings!

For those of you that didn't like the loops, I now present an almost 
frighteningly simple version for your consideration:
