Following is the great work, Keep it up.

Please vote at the top.

Surely ckybe has to win!!!  ;D

Hopefully, we can get a few more votes.

How to vote? Really like ckybe's..

Most of them are very nice.

Just click on the one you choose from the selection above. Thanks for voting

I like ckybe's. and you?

Where?

Is the poll working for everyone else? 

Yes working fine as far as I can see... You need to be logged in though obviously

Not sure, maybe there is a restriction on new members with less than a certain amount of posts voting in a poll?

   

that was what I was thinking

Perhaps it's easier to compare some of the designs like this.

http://s1.postimg.org/w67pn9r0v/Unccctitlned_4.jpg

it does cut out the shotgun effect that those with the most votes are doing, having a bunch of different designs all in one, maybe you should make them make those all as separate entries so we know what exactly*design wise* people are voting on. other wise it just looks like a money grab on their part,

just to clarify, we should at least have a representative mention for each vote a person who has more than one design entry under their number that tells us which design they actually voted for, or PM axis with this information, other wise I see one person is going to win the money but then we are going to have to sort out which design got the most desire from the group, and maybe we will find that the design they had the most interest in, has less interest than someone who had only one good design they put forth. seriously, this is the point of the voting right? to get everyone's consensus on what we all find to be the most appropriate and desired design right?

I think AM's idea is that a coin designer is chosen to work with his graphic design team on the integration of the coin design with all the other Carboncoin branding and website design, therefore the final design might have to undergo some modification, so that the branding is consistent and on message.  The aim being that the design should achieve the best of both worlds, in terms of its appreciation in a crypto context and in encouraging real world adoption of the coin.

But I take your point, if people think there is a fairer way of doing this, we can reformat and restart the poll, or an alternative, which i would prefer, is that we have a 2nd round vote of the top 3 designers represented by a single design. 

It would also be good, at this stage, to have a representative comment for each vote, as you suggested, and i would encourage voters to do this.

I also like your idea of a double sided coin and think your 3D rendering improves the designs in some respects, so this is something we should also consider, but we really need more people to engage in the dialogue about this to come up with the best solution.

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

I'd particularly be interested in what all of the designers think about this.  The important thing is that we come up with the best branding solution as a community. Whatever happens, I'll ensure that the prize award is fair, and if we reach a consensus that more than one design can be utilized, I will contribute more funds so that no one will loose out.  

As in extra incentive to get voting and leave a comment I will give the one voter who leaves the best / most interesting / observation / comment etc...

2 Million CARB

Winning voter will be chosen when the voting finishes.

 :)

Wow!

Casting my vote was difficult as there are so many good designs, hard to find any bad ones here so my compliments to all.
My personal favorite was the green diamond pattern by pipipipopopo, reason being that it is a strong visual form that turns a negative into a positive and screams value :)
 
You have to take into consideration that once this gets listed on the bigger exchanges that an easily identifiable "icon" in the sea of coins listed out there needs to stand out. Carboncoin the green diamond sums that up well. Just my 2 satoshis and good luck to all.

havin some fun

Looks good.

I just started to drink wine. When I go to the liquor store to buy a bottle of red there are hundreds to choose from. I end up picking the one with the fanciest label.

If there is not a good response to this contest, maybe none of the logos stand out. The market has been saturated with over 200 coins on coinmarketcap now. (and growing every day)

It will be tough to stand out.

I love the idea of the 2 sided coin. The 3D is very cool.

I think the coin should have a serrated edge. It is symbolic to the roman days when thief's would shave the edges of the coins off. The serrated edge helped prevent the fraud.

I really like number 6 because the leaf making a C in the coin is clever. I also like the leaf because it gives it the eco friendly appeal.

I also like number 4 for the contours in the coin. Makes it more realistic. The idea of having writing wrapping around the coin was great too. Est. in 2014 is kinda cheesy though. It should say Carbon Neutral and Carbon Coin wrapping around it.  

I do see coins on coinmarketcap change logos every now and then. Maybe we are just not in our final form yet.

Number 6.  Instantly recognisable if you drove past a billboard with it on and it caught your eye only for a split second.  When it comes to logo design; think Nike and Apple. Clear, uncluttered, instantly recognisable from a distance.  In addition this logo also contains Gestalt principles within it's design which is used a great deal in modern marketing.   In short Gestalt psychology states that we see things as a whole rather than a sum of its parts.  The lines and curves in the central design clearly create an image that can be perceived as a tree or a leaf.  The Gestalt principle of closure often leads consumers to pursue a further search for information on what they are seeing i.e seek confirmation if what the design represents / actually shows and it is a very powerful way of capturing consumers attention and then creating the opportunity for exposure to the product / service.   Exposure leads to learning, leads to evaluation, leads to use / consumption.  Without the initial exposure the next steps cannot take place.  A person who is ecologically conscious is more likely to be attracted to this design because the tree/leaf has a conscious or subconscious importance in regards their beliefs / attitudes towards environmental issues. I would imagine this is the type of person Carboncoin wishes to attract and this type of person is highly likely to use / invest in the coin as it has a strong affinity with their values / ethical stance. 

That is why I am particularly impressed with this logo. A great deal of thought has gone into the design by the creator.  

I make this statement with confidence as I am reading for my masters degree in marketing  ;)  

If I were the lucky winner in regards comments my Carboncoin wallet address is LBRUeWvHzSiKBXNehAkyUTeA9qVsD8EhEd

Good luck with the relaunch.

Thank you :)

glad someone else spoke up about liking the 3D design and adding the round to the hex shape, that makes what? 4 of us now XD

again if you guys need any help with bringing this together as a 3D concept, let me know, Hopefully soon I will have a better system to work off of so that more realistic renderings will not take for ever just to put out a few seconds of video lol

Thank you ethought!
