So far we have one contender, submitted by Ning Chang:

http://s27.postimg.org/ljpayy9mb/61_UMA97_C.jpg

Here's a version i did initially. But... i preferred the simplified one. i think it scales better.

BTW, if anyone's designing a logo it's good to be mindfull that peoples initial viewing of the logo will probably be on coinmarketcap so it needs to be recognisable and get the point across large and small.

feedback appreciated

I LIke

Definitely the best one I have seen so far. Looks much more sleek and modern than other proposed designs and gets away from the coal-mine reminiscent old logo...

Very nice work.

Not sure it reads or scales well though.  In an altcoin line up the image is lost, in this regard, I think Ning Chang's design is stronger:

i have updated the original logo to show the comparison for branded and metal versions

metal version	brand version

Looks good. Are you open to the idea of it been used without the text?  Sorry, if I took liberties with your design, just thought I'd like to see what it would look like:

thats fine, looks better, I like the text for metal versions as the metal design represents a physical coin


cool

Thats pretty nice, like the colours. not sure about the typeface of the C though. think it needs to be more spherical. can you post it without the field BG? and as a small size.

I'd maybe ditch the eco bit aswell. try to make it as clean visually as possible.

That is wicked, some great designs here well done all..!!

Some very nice designs, though I think a winning logo should retain a 'carbon' looking background.

Great logos!

It's my idea:      http://s25.postimg.org/bp3t1yanj/carbon12.png

Like that.  Could we see what the coin would look like as well?

Out of all the icons submitted, this is still hands-down the best one (IMO.)

That's my idea for the coin:
-background-color of coin is graphite (carbon);
-color of logo is light metal, reflecting the green.http://s25.postimg.org/80wzscnlb/carbon23.png

Looks good.

And more:http://s25.postimg.org/fjg50zey7/carbon24.png

Like the darker black and more contrast. Like the fact that the green on the left reads more like a leaf.  Overall it is an improvement, but find the white strip in the center confusing because it almost looks like a D.

Agree with you about "D".  Now I see.  I'll think about it.   

If there is still time, here is my submission for the CarbonCoin logo for the 5,000,000 Carboncoins contest.

https://i.imgur.com/VnbNtc4.png

Hope you guys like it.  :)

--PD

There still time.  We have a few more days left yet.  Hoping for lots more submissions over the next few days.  Thanks for submitting your design.

Hello Carbons!

http://img.leprosorium.com/2178999

Like the leaf motif and the way it forms the negative space of the letter C, but just a bit unsure as to how the texture relates to the idea of Carboncoin.  Good submission. 

I play with all types of carbon )

But I upload only "Green" version soon

Good to see different versions.  I like the metal version best.

I've changed my mind. I think the green one would be more on message, with my second choice being the one at the top.

Yes, this is my favourite so far..

This one is awesome too!

The Periodic Table + Leaf is a good idea.

how long are submissions being taken before this gets put to a vote or whatever to decide on the new logo?

There is still plenty of time to submit. We planned to put to the vote this Wednesday, but we'll see what everyone thinks then, we might extend the deadline or if it seems right to everyone we will go ahead with the vote, but the vote will probably last a few days, so you won't miss out. 

A few more people have told me they are going to submit designs over the next few days.

my submission, just for fun :)

Interesting idea. I think V3 is the best out of those.  The Op Art effect makes the others difficult to look at.

Thanks!

I know this is pretty crude but when I read the description of what you guys wanted for the coin, to reflect what it is all about I thought of this,


http://facesmiths.net63.net/miningcases/carboncoin2..jpg

essentially an image of a tree growing down into and consuming an oil well is what I tried to display in like 3 minutes or so, if anyone likes the concept I can go ahead and redo it to look more professional and glossy, with maybe a more cloud like looking leaf formation. and make the roots look more like they are wrapped around an oil well or an oil barrel to make sure the message is conveyed and in a format that is easier to convert to a coin.

Interesting concept.  Another idea would be to make use of images which are symbolic of mining or the burning of fossil fuels, rather than oil, and contrast that with a tree or organic symbol.

Interesting idea. V1 is better i think. Looks very good in small size.

@danonthehill  yeah I could not figure out any on that short of notice though lol. but the coal industry is more responsible for dirtying up the air and putting carbon in it for electricity than oil is from what I have read,

Edited old versions:http://s25.postimg.org/oobmsdc33/carbon27.png

And new :)http://s25.postimg.org/5aassokmn/carbon288.png

Excellent. 2 and 5 are really strong contenders.  I would say 5 has the edge, but would be a bit better if the black space between the top of the leaf & the inside of the C was a little more defined like 2.   

Nice idea. Like the simplicity.

How is the voting going to be handled - and what time will voting begin/end on 4/23 (or will it go on for more than a day?)

Not sure what the best way to do it is yet, but it definitely won't end on 4/23.  There is no chance that you will miss the vote.

Excellent, really like 5.

Hopefully, we will get a couple of more really good submissions today and tomorrow, then we can prepare a line up for final selection.

OK guys, I a have had a couple of people saying they would like a few more days to submit their designs, so I think it is probably best to extend this until the end of the weekend.  Then I'll put together a final line up and try to put together some mock ups so we can see how the designs will look in context. 

personally id go for mymenaces metalcarbon ot metal design. Alot of outstanding work here guys! All your efforts are much appreciated!!!!

the contest is over?

The voting thread will be posted this evening, but still time for last minute submissions in the next few hours!

Why can't we vote here? Frankly I am tired of making a bunch of new accounts on other forums just to participate in one or two threads. Keep it on bitcointalk where 99% of your audience actually have accounts.

To anyone who submitted a logo design for CarbonCoin I'm giving away 500k to each one of you so please post or PM me your CarbonCoin's address so I can send you the coins. ;)

Wow! Excellent.

I still like this one the best. The overall design, colors, metallic, etc, just a pleasing visual appeal in general.

Mymenace's green metallic / brushed metal design is the best IMHO. I like the colors, the style, it's just a visually pleasing design overall and looks professional rather than cartoony.

For me it's between MagicSnow and Kussaka...haven't decided yet.

First 500k sent to pipipipopopo. I think his design is the one I like most because its simple and green but there is also some great designs like MagicSnow and ning_chang designs.

By popular demand, voting will be done via polls on Twitter and bitcointalk.

Please vote here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=599176.new#new (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=599176.new#new)

my thoughts on the leaf designs is that it might make brand confusion with some people over leaf coin. the tree in the design I think is still a better choice, but for simplicity sake a green layered cloud design for the leaves on top or the triangular design to represent evergreens would be a better choice, with maybe the tree in the C hex shape and we could stick the hex shape on a round coin maybe? can we do mashup designs taking the best of each here and post them for the general use, with out it being a "submission"? and can more than one person win because we used parts from each of them to make the final design???

We want this to be a democratic community driven project, so the more discourse the better.  This is still very much a work in progress, so if the community reaches a consensus about what would best represent the coin and it is is not possible through a submitted design then we can work towards that. That said, voting in the poll, will still have a primary role, but i can modify the poll to include additional designs if need be.

I have no problem with anyone presenting any ideas in any form. However, out of respect to the designers and their work, it might be best to dm them to discuss specific ideas.

Personally, I think that although it might be useful, for illustrative purposes to show a rough mock up of the work of two designers combined, ultimately the finished design would be better produced either through direct collaboration of the designers or one of the designers developing their ideas further so there is a knock out winner. The problem is we have several high quality designs with very distinctive styles.

If it turns out that ideas or designs for the winning design are the product of more than one designer, then I will see to it that they are rewarded fairly, even if that means  me donating additional coins to distribute the prize.

to give an idea (since I am not sure what dm means please elaborate) and hopefully to get the original designers to do something with this possibly, here is what I was thinking might be able to allow us to have two designs that bring it all to the table with no chance of brand confusing (I love the leaf design personally so anything that can make it possible)

http://facesmiths.net63.net/miningcases/carboncointesting.GIF

hopefully neither designer is upset that their design would be modified to incorporate anothers work but maybe they can modify it their own way to keep it purely their own design with this just being something to shake up someones juices lol

ps, I want nothing to do with any prize or anything, so I am not claiming anything here, just presenting an idea is all :)

also though I understand that some might be scared of a hex shaped coin instead of being round, I think many would like to have one as such so having the design set into a round shape coin, would allow disconnecting the hex from the round later to make a hex coin, and minting one the way they do with bitcoin storage wallets as a gold silver or some base metal coin, I think would be awesome and fairly easy to do, using a hex shaped design, giving a sort of futuristic money feel to it :)

I really like that idea.  It will be interesting to see what everyone else thinks.

BTW: DM = Direct Message

I don‘t know the meaning of coin

ah first thing I thought of was dungeon master lol, usually people say you should PM them directly that I have seen meaning "private message" so...will stock this new info away so I know next time.

Yeah, my parlance was off, should have said PM.

no worry, just want to get the best design together for it. the one problem I have with my design is figuring out how to make it not so "busy" since these have to be scaled down to a smaller size.

Both sides of that coin look nice.  I think i like the tree one a bit better myself, but both look good.


(DM is dungeon master!) ;)

hope no one minds that I update my coin design a little, might have eliminated some of the busy-ness in it :)

Go ahead, I can add it to the poll.  Same for anyone that wants to resubmit or add something new.

morphtrust: What software did you use to create that spinning coin? And can you send me the original file so that I can have a play? 

its lightwave 3D, I have two versions here, if you have lightwave or a program that can alter the files like rhino so you can use it in other programs let me know, if not I can do more work, it is capable of a lot more, that is just a 5 minute job modeling things and then tossing them in layout to make the scene and render it in about 10 minutes. the original video is an AVI in full 1078 or what ever by 780 something that I ran through superC to shrink it and make  gif of, so I can send the higher res video too if  you want,

I'll try out lightwave 3D, see if it is is intuitive enough for me to pick up.  It might help me visualize more possibilities.  So if you can send me the editable file that would be great.  I'll PM you my email.  Thanks. 

ok cool though I would against better judgement say you should look on torrent for that cause buying a copy outright is kinda expensive, I have over 5 grand invested in the two versions I have and luckily the second half of that was a gift of the money from a friend who wanted help with the program on a project he was working on lol

watching PM for the email address, the files for the scene and models are tiny but the video file is kinda big with out compression, so you would need to let me know what compression you wanted it done with to send it through or use bittorret or something to send it *or some chat client that lets us send bigger files through maybe?* I guess I can zip it up with winrar too to shrink it down some with out compressing it with the video algo, which would preserve all the quality. the tools for working with things are far more intuitive than anything else I have used, or tried to use so I was able to justify the first 2400 for the first copy with that lol

Cheers.  I've PMed you.  Whatever is easiest for you will be fine. There is no rush and don't want to put you out. Could I make do with just the files for the scene and models and convert to video myself?

um not sure what you mean, the models are point cloud models that lightwave uses, not sure if there is another package that uses the file formats but I know people have managed to convert to other platforms to use them, like studio max and what not.

sent the files your way. let me know if you have any questions.
