You are good at designing? bitcoin-app.com (http://bitcoin-app.com) needs a logo!

What about something like this?

take5. That's of course ok. Just add an BTC address and you are in the race.

I personally most liked that one of you:
Perhaps exchange the (forbidden) f with some 3 or 4 graph-like connected faces? Just a thought..

Thanks for participating and good luck!

Hi trudi,

A couple questions for you:
Can you share some more info about bitcoin-app.com (http://bitcoin-app.com)?
And do the logos have to be high quality to be chosen, or will you redo the ideas after choosing one?

Thanks,
Taz

Hi Taz,

its a facebook app that allows for bitcoin exchange between friends on facebook.
Its mainly meant to spread the Bitcoin idea. bitcoin exchange between users is free of any fees.

Additionally, each user can earn some coins by accepting advertisement mails, but that is optional. And of course, the other way round, advertisers can spread their message next to some bitcoins among the users.

That's pretty much it.

I do not plan to modify the submitted logos.

Cool, thanks,
It sounds like a great app. I'll look out for it in future,
I'm not that good with photoshop or anything so I'll stay out for now.
Best of Luck.

Sounds interesting. Expect a logo from me in a few days.

Is this accomplished with the use of an online wallet? Does this give control of any BTC to a 3rd party, or is it transmitted directly between users?

You will get an online wallet and give control the the BTC to us. It is certainly not the ideal tool to exchange large amount of BTC but a nice way to exchange tiny amounts and to get new people get to know about Bitcoins by the use of some facebook communication channels.

New users still get a tiny amount of BTC as welcome present that allows you to play around with them. If you like, just go to bitcoin-app.com (http://bitcoin-app.com), login and give it a try ( for free, of course )

 

Perfect! Thanks

Thanks guys! Don't forget to add your BTC address..

I am submitting x3 rough logo drafts. If any of these 'win', and you want a more detailed and refined mark that properly encompasses all aspect of your business/website, we can work on a deal. Aside from mark creation, I am capable of all forms of graphic design, branding, and advertising. These were done extremely quick, as (I hope to not offend you), but 2 BTC is not much of an incentive for quality graphic design work. These marks were all created in Adobe Illustrator, and then ported into Adobe Photoshop for scaling for posting. The native files are vectors, so they can be resized without losing any quality. Photoshop versions I have are 300 and 72 DPI.

Wow! These look really great. I would say you have best chances. I agree and know that 2 BTC is "not much". So long, all profit I make with the site  is used for advertisement and things like this one. Of course, I hope for more advertisers (the only income) on our site, that in turn would allow to spend more. You did a really great job, I would say. Thank you for participating.

If you decide to use a logo design with the Facebook logo included, you'll need to receive permission from Facebook first: https://www.facebook.com/brandpermissions/logos.php

Number six in the guidelines suggests that using the Facebook brand will not be approved:

"6.  You may not combine our Brand Assets, or elements of our Brand Assets, with your own name or mark or generic terms."

Sorry to put a damper on the contest, but I thought I'd pass this information on before anyone else includes the Facebook brand in their entries.

Looks awesome!  :o

While there are distinct similarities, Facebook does not own the letter "f", and my submissions utilized a sans-serif typeface that is free/public domain as well as hues that are similar to, but not identical to, the Facebook colors. There are arguments to be made that these marks follow the Fair Use laws of the United States, as well as arguments supporting trademark infringement according to Nominative Use laws of the United States.

If this is a concern for Trudi, one of my submissions does not utilize the "f" that is similar to Facebook's, so no worries there.

note to self :: contact dec if you need an awesome logo quick

thx guys  :)

What did you use to make that, it looks like its a 3d render.

Impressive! Thanks for your participation. Mind to post a BTC address. Something tells me, I will need it.. Awesome work!

Thanks Yoddler and Factory for your comments on potential legal issues.

I will certainly check them (once again). This will however not effect the competition (at least the first part):
1) The author of the logo selected by the bitcoin-app.com (http://bitcoin-app.com) users will be awarded with 1 BTC.
2) Another 1 BTC for the author of the logo that I do finally make the new bitcoin-app.com (http://bitcoin-app.com) logo.

(1 and 2 might be the same)

Clean and simple. With or without effects.

I did not utilize the 'f', however retained similar characteristics of the facebook logo. So it should appear familiar to users without violating fb's usage conditions.
Colors are not exactly facebook colors (can be adjusted on request).


Created with Inkscape, so available as fully scalable vector graphics (svg).


In case it wins:

Looks great. Thank you for participating! Good luck!

Dec -- I'd like to invite you to the logo competition here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=91068.0

BTC44 up for grabs. If you need whitelisting to post your submission, it can happen.

Ok, its the 5th of august. Thank you all for having sent your logo proposals.

Users can now give their vote on bitcoin-app.com (http://bitcoin-app.com) ( click on !Vote and Win! ) until next sunday (12th of august).

We raffle another 1 BTC among all voters.

Good luck!

Reminder: Less than 10 hours left.

Current standing and afterwards the final result can be found at bitcoin-app.com (http://bitcoin-app.com) after clicking on !Vote And Win! .

The competition is over and we have a winner!

Thank you all for your participation!

dec won, and as he ask me to donate the Bitcoin to this forum I just did it. Here's the transaction id:
16ea76231eb58709f26109bec68579cf4578d777b1540c86ba2de041ce5ac61e

We will now ask Facebook if they accept the logo (because of the f in it).

If they don't agree, I will go for the second place. Another very nice logo that somehow also won when we take it as a member of the logo-class that was submitted by its author.

The complete final standings with all the actual vote-numbers for each logo can be found at bitcoin-app.com (http://bitcoin-app.com) .

 

Oh boy. I would donate to this.

Very nice 3d work right there.

Thank you all  ;D
