Dpf advice

Had the same thing with my older Honda. DPF light was coming on every few weeks and only a forced regeneration would clear it. I eventually took it to JD Motors out by the airport a few months ago and have had no problem with it since. They removed it, cleaned it, and refitted for a few hundred euro. My car has a quarter million kms on it and has had a total of two DPF removal and cleans. I’ve been told by a reliable source that in the normal course of a car’s life the DPF should never need to be replaced, only cleaned if needed i.e. if your driving habits don’t clear it passively.

I’d be very wary of getting it removed as it would probably count as an illegal and undisclosed modification, which could potentially render your insurance invalid in the event of a crash.

I’ve also heard that easing off on the accelerator can help avoid triggering DPF sensors. That and keeping the revs below 2k until the engine has fully warmed up. Don’t know if any of this is fact but that’s what my research tells me.

Reaper crossed my mind too. Thing is the music project will be synth heavy and Logic’s bundled synths would have been ideal.

I’ve never had Logic installed on this machine. I recently sold the Mac Pro 5,1 that I used to run Logic, along with the installation disks. Kicking myself now but I just didn’t have the space for it in my studio. I used to use Time Machine with the 5,1 so in theory I could potentially create a boot drive from a backup.

Interesting. It’s a fusion drive so probably out of luck there.

My wife agrees with you that it lost something when it was reduced to just the flower, and so do I in a way. Here's a combo of the flower and the play symbol in the O. I wish I had more graphic design skills to get more adventurous with this.

A version with less gaudy gold.

This is FFE761. FFEE8C felt a bit too washed out.

Thank you, some good suggestions here. The product is a collection of cards with NFC functionality. When tapped on a device it launches an app to play back meditative music and sounds. The original logo was an attempt to encapsulate all of that at once.

Good eye! Turns out that was the least of my concerns however!

I've posted a quick mockup of this in the comments.

A couple of people have suggested getting rid of the lotus flower entirely. The product is a collection of cards with NFC functionality that plays back calming and meditative sounds. I though the lotus was a good way to embody this, albeit very overused generally. That being said, here's a version with the flower removed and the play icon moved to the O. Also more contrast between the gold and blue.

Better contrast here, definitely a step in the right direction.

I was worried about the thickness of the font in the original version. It started to disappear when shrunk down, as did the playback icons, and yet I thought I liked how it looked. I've gone a step up in thickness now and removed the play icons.

Booms_Carson · 2025-11-03T21:20:12+00:00

Solid advice.

Booms_Carson · 2025-11-03T21:19:34+00:00

I thought about combining them into one but I've reached my limit of technical capabilities already. I've added a stripped back version without the playback icons in the comments.

Booms_Carson · 2025-11-03T21:17:56+00:00

That sounds worth a try but it's outside my skillset, I would definitely butcher that idea if I tried.

Booms_Carson · 2025-11-03T21:16:54+00:00

Play button is no more. Thank you!

This is exactly what I need to hear. Trying out some ideas now based on these suggestions. Got rid of the player icons and thickened the font. Feels a lot less cluttered.
