TOL vs. TO

TOL vs. TO

Postby mray » 16 Aug 2014, 09:44

An early settlement of the question how to abbreviate the games name would be great.
I'm a huge proponent of TOL. It is more descriptive, looks better and is a good candidate of being the actual logo just in letters.

Can we agree that TOL is the "official" abbreviation?

My vote goes to "TOL" as well :)

As the game namer, I always went with "TOL" myself. :) It's also worth stating that I intentionally chose names that would be easy to abbreviate.

Please note:
“TOL” is already used by Tales of Legendia, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tol#Acronyms

“TO”, however, seems to be unused by any video game.

If you use “TOL” you have a collision with another game, if you use “TO”, you have no such collision. Choose carefully.

A PS2 title from 2005 shouldn't be a deal-breaker.
Choosing TO over TOL would be careful in the same sense as just going right for "T"; There is no video game with that acronym!
I guess for a good reason. ;)

Yeah, I’m just saying …
I guess “TOL” is already chosen, since the homepage clearly shows a logo with the letters “T”, “O” and “L” in it.

But actually, I do not really care, I did not really “vote”. I guess I will just pick up the same acronym which is used by the majority.
