What's a Nuon?? VM LABS CHRISTENS PROJECT X, MOVES TO NEW HQ ....................the final name of VM Labs' Project X technology. Nuon, as the digital video/game platform shall henceforth be known, was chosen because, in the words of branding firm Lexicon, it "communicates brilliant graphics and space-age technology." Lexicon, chosen by VM Labs to come up with a name for Project X, says the word has scientific associations with subatomic particle muon, noble gas neon, the concept "new...in the sense of innovative," and the word on, "in contrast to off." We kid you not. We prefer: "Nuon: it sounds better than Dreamcast." Nuon's natty logo (see it at nuon-tech.com), is designed by The Beeline Group, which designs software packaging and artwork for several game companies and was responsible for early Atari cabinet design. The logo will appear on VM Labs-enhanced hardware, packaging and ads. In other news, VM Labs yesterday moved to a newly designed building in Mountain View, CA, to accommodate a growing payroll.
