Bitcoin Forum

- We're looking for a base logo and coin design based on it. The pair can be in any colour you feel is fitting. You can add a phoenix, but the bird is optional. The letters NFD or Nxt Fair Distribution should be included.
- 3D is okay if you think it makes for a better logo, but is optional.
- The logo has to be avaiable in vector format (.ai,.svg). This format is mandatory.
- The NFD coin dev team gets the rights to use the logos of the first, second and third prize winners in exchange for those bounties.
- deadline: Monday 9th June, 18:00 CET
- please provide 3 image for comparing with others (so that they are fitting in the table):
  - Icon : 16 x 16
  - logo: about 200 x 100
  - coin: about 200 x 200





All Entries Will Be Given Serious Consideration.

Best Of Luck, And Show Us What You've Got!

P.S.: Comments on logos are also welcome and will be taken into consideration. I'm sure the contestants will welcome any praise. :)
We will vote based on our well reviewed stakeholder list, because they should decide, which way we go. This way we can also eliminate sockpuppet voting. So don't be afraid, that the voting will be unfair.


Update 09.06.2014:
Thank you all for your submissions. The submission period is over.
Now every stakeholder in the stakeholder list is allowed to tell us his winning candiate (actual logo will be taken in another vote then, if there are more).
You have two options:
- posting it here. By this way you can also criticize others a little, what maybe helps them.
- if you don't want your choice to be public, you can pm it to me.

Remember. Counted are only votes of stakeholders, no matter if free or payed. All other opinions are welcome, but not counted. The voting period will last until the weekend.

Please post not misunderstandable a winner!

regards
lordoliver

Important: It is possible, that the image proxy makes problems and not all logos are shown. Please make sure, you can really see ALL logos, before you vote.

Design a logo, become a millionaire.

Great idea!
It is a high bounty, isn't it?

why .ai ? .svg should do...

yes, any vector based. i guess a good designer knows, how to do an ai out of it...

the 11 million for all 3 prices are more than 0.2% of all coins. so yes...

Good idea!  Forward guys!

and is there any deadline?

not yet, but we will set one soon.

criticism
very simplistic
letters are not used:"F" and "D"
poorly identified with  "NFD"
no offense  :)
need more work
but for the first option - good

Is not 7.5 mio too much? I would give 7.5 for the whole theme design, like branding or so.

we set deadline at monday evening 18:00. Depending on the result we maybe extend.

do you know, how much work that is? We want good designers to work on that.
If we set too less, only amateurs are participating...
btw the logo involves already a base branding.

OK, got it
thank you

very simplistic — since when it's a bad thing in logos?
letters are not used:"F" and "D" — http://coinmarketcap.com try to find a logo with not just the first letter of a coin name
poorly identified with  "NFD" — as well as bitcoin, litecoin, nxt, darkcoin, namecoin... should I continue?
no offense  :) — non taken
need more work — please do


This logo is unique and well recognisable. You can even draw it with a pencil and everyone would say: "It's NFD logo".

http://f5.s.qip.ru/FK151xKO.png

It also contains a currency sign because of two separated lines.

NXT Style, I like it. Anything connected with NFD?

Looking at that makes me want to drink some coffee! Nespresso, anyone?

didn't think about that, buts somehow true:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/48/Nespresso.png/320px-Nespresso.png

can't you read the letters? ;-)
but i think there is a lot of work left with it. its somehow not "smooth" enought...

Why not try professionals, and let community decide.

http://99designs.com/

btw. I like NXT style logo but I would play arounfd with colors. Those will become our officials colors then.

we saw this, but we think its more appropriate, to pay in our coins instead of btc or $.
Aren't there professionals in this forum?

Yeah sure, here's a smaller version and one with the 'N' by itself:

To be honest, it's NXT logo poor clone.

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

no he was changing the letters and putting other colors. as it is a nxt clone its not a bad idea, but still there may be better

Smaller options.

https://i.imgur.com/2BZnbTB.png

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

What if all Nxt clones would have the same logos and all Bitcoin and Litecoin clones would have logos cloned from the original one?

that was ok, i put them already

I don't appreciate that you put a personal opinion along with logos.

a little like "Nespresso" — why someone's thoughts reflected in OP?
not really a "coin" provided — as well as other 2 candidates, would you add this comment to them also?
normal logo should involve nfd string — who said so? 99% logos have only first letter in them

We have some personal frictions and now you're trashing my logo. It's not the way to gain respect in the community.

the first one has a coin, the last one has a coin, i wrote, that its a little basic but you don't have at all...
there should always be a logo with the meaning. you will find that on darkcoin as well as on nxt or bitcoin

http://blog.check-and-secure.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/bitcoin-logo.png

i don't write personal feelings with it, only objectiv things. I think, thats ok. And we run maybe even in brand problems with nespresso, so i guess it its legit to say so. I like your idea, but that is not allowed to write, because it is NOT objectiv...

and again. I don't have anything against you personaly. I will delete all comments on voting anyway. Its a help for you, to follow the rules while you have time to change things. You SHOULD appreciate that...

In this case why wouldn't you add the same comments to the first logo: "not really a "coin" provided" and "normal logo should involve nfd string".

And to the third:  "not really a "coin" provided", "clone of NXT logo"

Either do it to make it fair or delete comments to my logo.

Here you go, just like Bitcoin.

https://i.imgur.com/3CZ1uWv.png

the first logo includes the nfd string and has a coin, what do you want?
the last one has also a coin or at least a try. i can write that its a clone of nxt, but i wouldn't say its wrong, as we are a clone of nxt...

not really part of the logo, but that is too subjectiv, thats why i don't write it there...

I see no point to have a coin image. No one uses it. But if you want it, ok, here you go.

https://i.imgur.com/sBY4f1u.png

It's just your personal opinion, you can't act based on it. You said you add comments to all logos - then add it. Or delete all of them.

i think this discussion is now wrong here, write me a pm if you want to go on. there are already enought comments at nr.3 as you can see. It was nothing personaly! Period!

What's wrong with it? You're trashing my logo and I just want it to be treated the same as other logos.

@dzarmush
please don't post any other images than the requested

Logo is not just an abstract image. It'll be used in the client, mobile client, on websites etc. It's important to show how a logo looks in different layouts.

would you mind please to add this logo too?

thanks

https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,811.msg9072.html#msg9072

oh, OK
i didn't aware of that
i'll change it
don't worry

ridiculous. do you really believe he saw that and want to copy you?

did I say I believe he saw that?

Pretty good, but in my opinion it would better fit a biker club or something. Especially the one with wings on sides.

we thought a phoenix would fit, because nfd was revived from dead like a phoenix, but you are right. there should maybe the fire be in foreground. in the white coin logo this is quite nice noticable

OK
please change my 2 logos and icon with these ones

and sorry for my multiple post
i promise it's my last one   :)

I think the world "nxt" in logo/coin should be "NEXT".

Update:

I like dzarmush logo but it remainds me of Nas logo a bit (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=523187.0).

kindofasaint colours are nice.

I also don't understand, why all want to bring the N. I think the F is quite more important ;-)

Hi, All.

Last day for your submissions!

Transformed my version of the logo a bit: letter f in the logo looks more classically. And changed color.

I like cryptasms logo most. It is clean and simple. Would like to see FD above "nxt fair distribution" next to the N in the logo.

Second, SomeRelax, nice color combo and readability is good :)

The list had me hesitating for some minutes...I'm actually quite glad that lordoliver has three prizes.

But, since the proverbial gun has been stuck into my mouth, I vote for SomeRelax's.

Let me add a heads-up about a psychological effect called "anchoring (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchoring)." It's a cognitive bias that unduly influences your choice based upon what you see first. Please adjust for it when making your own decision, as all our contestants are quite worthy. They all deserve your best, most independent-minded decision. Thanks!

SomeRelax has my vote :) hard decision and lots of good submissions. Thanks guys and gals!

Haha, I voted for the first option ;) Did check every one very well though :P

my vote goes to SomeRelax
pretty solid and conceptual like his other works

I like most the last logo of kussaka
and the coin of mymenace.

If I can only vote for a set, I vote for someRelax.

+ someRelax
that eagle looks pretty cool!

pssht... its not an eagle. Its a phoenix ;-)

I think phoenix is a bit childish if we want nfd to be taken seriously.
I like  kindofasaint work.

Lot of good submissions presented here ...
Looks very good coin of someRelax, all the elements on this coin combined perfectly with each other.
Still like the logo of kindofasant and the logo of mymenace,  and my logo of course.. ;D

Dzarmush

Birds are ridicuolus or biker style, anyway have nothing to do with NFD. Other competitiors looks like amateur designs from 90s.

somerelax +1

nice design

I vote for: sadface

I like dzarmush's logo, but it's a little too similar to NAS for me (not to mention George Clooney's favourite brand of coffee).

I also like kindofsaint's third logo - the small / very simple one.

I Like SomeRelax's design.

This one is great.

http://f5.s.qip.ru/FK151xVv.png

Need to get rid of the bird, of course, and only use letters.

My vote goes to SomeRelax.

my vote goes to dzarmush

simple, but not simple logo

best

Some great logos there.

+SomeRelax
+Mymenace
+dzarmush

in order of priority.

My vote for SomRelax phoenix!

cryptasm

i am afraid that is not a vote. Which guy is now your favourite? ;-)

Edit: ah.. your no stakeholder. Then its ok ;-)

I like  dzarmush and pipipipopopo the first image

please choose only one!

SomeRelax

+1 no phoenix please :-\

this ONE

we will set another vote for the actual design. This contest only should choose the best artwork in common.

I like Logo by dzarmush,it's looking nice!

Voting for Somerelax as well.

I like logo by SomeRelax.

kussaka   ;D

+1

I agree with this and my vote goes to somerelax, but I would rather see it without childish bird.

Please setup a poll for logo vote. I vote for SomeRelax.

i will set up a logo vote on friday. i want this voting a little longer, as there is maybe a change in 2nd and 3rd place

I vote for SomeRelax, without doubt the best logo

kidding me?

i like sadface's one. the logo is simple, clean and not cluttered with too much info or imagery. however, i would like to see the coin logo have a bit more glitz like SomeRelax's one. but sadface has my vote.

thank you all for vote to my submission

@Lordolover, that is not my account

edit: that account is not in the distribution list even

I like and vote for Sadface logo, easy on the eye, simple log says what it is and can envision this in many different places

yes, I thought so... but someone maybe wants to let us think that...

I like this one, I think the colors are just right, not too in your face

Somerelax

+1440

volting for dzarmush :)

I vote SomeRelax  :)

my vote goes to dzarmush
nice logo :)

Up  magalhanze  !

Hi folks!


I vote for SomeRelax contribution


Especially the black/silver coin he presented with the wings showing in black
and the logo where he also presented the wings with the text NXT Fair Distribution
was beautiful!




My 2 cents and 1 vote



Vademecum1974

dzarmush

maybe try more purple instead of dark red, but the shape itself is great

1 vote for  dzarmush.

Maybe colour is a little bit to much like the "german Telekom" and should be changed.

I like  kussaka's logo~lol 

The Contest and the votes are closed.
Final Winners

However the community was somehow disunited about the actual logo of the winner and if there should be a phonix or not. The poll for the final logo of Somerelax you find here:
