Thanks for the feedback! Got a few more ideas for a simple logo I f'n love that logo! Put it on a bullion friend!!!

Very cool! I especially like the logo concept you have on the right! Very creative... Anyway to do that logo using the letters CGB? I know the straight line backbone from the letter B may not fit in well there, but curious to see what you can come up with... Also, I like you choice of lettering too. Maybe center both lines. Also, see if you can make the bullion 3D and try to stick more with the platinum and cold colors (icy blue to purple). Fantastic!

New version. rendered with bunkspeed this time. I would really love to see you do a hybrid of your two designs. Call the 1st one above (Image A) and the 2nd one (Image B). Personally I like the overall bullion's look better in image B. Can you position image B with a slight turn clockwise to straighten out the bullion like you did in image a? Also, can you create a variation of image B with the cryptography blocks replaced with the logo you have used in image A? Amazing work!

Change in the rules ladies and gents! The CGB team will be picking 3 finalists as soon as 3 clear cut finalists emerge. We are hoping to do this by the close of Monday, so please get your submissions and edits in! All 3 finalist will win 150 CGB. At this point, we will open up a public vote to get the community's opinion on which logo should be the new face of CGB! This voting will go on for the work week and conclude tentatively at midnight on Friday evening. The winner will be announced Saturday with the launch of the CGB website. Oh, by the way, the clear cut winner will still receive the 500 CGB promised incremental to the 150 CGB received for making it to the public voting round. As you can see, this logo is very important to us and we are putting our money out to show this! Keep at it all!!!

Looking very good friend! Can you try with platinum instead of gold so it will better match our coming website? Also, maybe move the CryptogenicBullion text to the top face of the bar, lose the snow flakes and perhaps have a small microchip logo on the side (rather than the large one on the faceplate)?

Guess I need to step it up a notch... The logo is awesome friend! Can you use the original block and put this logo on the left instead of the crypto-blocks? And also rotate the block another 15-20 degrees or so clockwise so it sits level on the screen? AWESOME!!!

Great work everyone! We truly have some amazingly talented artists here! This will truly be a difficult decision, I can tell already!
My personal favorite so far is JoeMattie's. I do have a couple request for you Joe though if possible. Can you square the bullion up and remove the steps?
Please keep in mind the ultimate decision is up to the CGB team so everyone please keep the contributions coming!
Yeah I will do a rerender shortly. What do you mean by "square it up" Sorry, I meant rather than have it laying diagonally, bring it level so that it better fits for a wallet icon. If you look at the bullions orientation in your image as opposed to images like menace's. Hopefully that clarifies. Thanks! But if it has a transparent background why would it matter what angle it's at? Still fits it the wallet the same. I guess you are correct, just would not align in a balanced manner, imo. Perhaps just a personal opinion. Again, I am not the only judge...

No we are talking!!! That is the idea my friend! I love it! Just a couple tiny changes please, sorry. Can you please do it in solid platinum? I think for the website colors, we will not be able to use the gold unfortunately. The other thing is I would like to see also how the logo looks when it is a little smaller and also a variaton with it rotated 45 degrees to appear as an X. Truly amazing!!!

You are very impressive my friend! Suggestion: try creating a separate section on the left side of the bullion for the flake logo. Similar to how they have in the image/link below. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Johnson_Matthey_500_grammes_silver_bullion.jpgAlso, please feel free to get creative with the flake idea. I was just throwing that out there as a directional queue, but defintely want you artistst to take some creative license. The other ideas I had for the logo, instead of the flake, are an X made out of thumb drives or something that captures the idea/concept of "cold storage"... Ideally would like a brand that is recognizable as "CGB". I think the bullion bar, CGB and Crytpogenic Bullion text are spot on! Just need the branding logo... Keep it up, very impressive so far!!!

In regard to your choice of shape:
I have done a few coin designs now and I think I know what I'm talking about, but could be wrong...
The bullion bar shape is not going to translate well into an icon. Look at the coin wallets you have on your desktop, they are all shaped like a coin, in a circle. When the bullion bar design is shrunk down you are going to loose a lot of detail, which is why the coin/circle shape works better as you have more room to work with.
I dunno, it's up to you.
I will try again.
The current logo is more of a square shape and translates very well imo so I think a bar shape will as well. Also, this will be used for the website and future advertising billboards, etc...

Okay..
I think your first ones were more in the correct direction shape wise.

Here's my first submission, more to follow if there's time. Nice start for sure. Think a little more 3 dimensional though and see what you can come up with to replace the hammer logo with something unique to CGB. Maybe some variation of a snowflake idea or other branding logo you can come up with. Remember the themes of cryogenics, affluence, stability...

How are these? This is my favorite so far. Tagged. Bling! The gems might look good all the way around the outside of the coin... What do you think? Nice work, but I think you are on a different track my friend. Looking for more of a realistic bullion look/shape with CGB on it. Hopefully someone can come up with a symbol logo as well for one side of the bar. I was just throwing the snowflake out there as an idea of a potential direction. Would need customization though...
