History
Initially, this line of computers was known as VoodooPC, which was founded in 1991 and known for its high computing performance. It was acquired by Hewlett-Packard in 2006,[3] and began changing its brand name to Omen in 2014 using the same tribal mask logo design until 2020 when it was changed to a simple 45° square shape.[4]
On November 4, 2014, HP launched the Omen brand as a 15-inch gaming laptop and inherited VoodooPC's tribal mask logo.[5]
In February 2021, HP acquired HyperX from Kingston and no longer produces gaming peripherals.[6][7]

In 2016, HP co-developed the OMEN X with Maingear, a cube-shaped PC with a 45 degree angled design.[8]
