HP Omen Series

HP Omen Gaming Brand Overview:

Today, the HP Omen line of gaming laptops is a well-known brand in the gaming industry, offering a range of high-performance laptops and accessories for gamers and other power users. However, long before the Omen branding was associated with Hewlett-Packard (HP), it was part of VoodooPC's luxury PC lineup. HP acquired the Canadian computer hardware company and started integrating its products under the VoodooDNA brand, which was eventually phased out in 2013. That same year, HP started selling gaming laptops using the Omen name. The new laptops used HP logos and wordmarks but integrated the VoodooPC's tribal mask logo in default wallpapers and so on. This trend went till 2016 until HP relaunched Omen as a premium gaming brand. At Omen by HP's initial launch, the company launched two Omen laptops, an Omen desktop, and an Omen gaming monitor. HP incorporated the original tribal mask symbol in Omen's new logo. Then in 2020, HP dropped the "by HP" moniker and started calling its premium gaming sub-brand just "Omen". The old logo with tribal mask also went in favor of a simpler diamond-shaped logo.
