Transcription

Desktop offering

Voodoo PC was most well known for its desktops. They experimented with liquid cooling partnering with CoolIT Systems at one point.[3] On June 10, 2008, the Omen computer's complete redesign was revealed, showing a new brushed metal case and mounted 7" auxiliary screen.[4]

History

The company was founded in 1991 by Rahul Sood, and in 1999 Ravi Sood (brother to Rahul) joined the board of operations. Prior to the acquisition Voodoo employed roughly 40 people between their Canadian headquarters and their web development office in Bangalore.

Acquisition by HP

On September 28, 2006, Rahul Sood announced on his blog that HP would be acquiring VoodooPC for an undisclosed amount. Rahul Sood will be assuming the position of Chief Technology Officer for HP's Global Voodoo Business Unit.[5]

In August 2007, HP announced the HP Blackbird 002 gaming PC with the label VoodooDNA inside the case, and was released on September 15, 2007.

New direction

Since the acquisition of Voodoo in 2006, the business has been re-developing the brand of Voodoo. This was culminated on the 10th June 2008 with the revelation that Voodoo will focus on high-end, top spec computers rather than gaming machines. Voodoo will also continue with Voodoo DNA machines with HP.

For the launch of their new brand direction they used the tag line of 'Blending Art, Innovation and Performance;' confirming the businesses future as a HP brand.

In 2009, HP used the Envy line as a high-performance computer without the Voodoo branding or Voodoo DNA.[6]

In 2014, HP relaunch the Omen brand and used the Voodoo Tribal mask logo as the official logo until May 2020.
