Perhaps something along these lines as the logo on the left side of the bullion with the CGB and Cryptogenic Bullion writing pushed to the right 3/4 of the bar... The attached image would need to be reworked, but I personally like the snowflake concept as a branding logo...

Yes my friend. Will be running contest thru the weekend at least.

I definitely think a distinct "logo" for CGB is needed in addition to the bullion bar with the CGB/CryptogenicBullion text. Something clean and simple that identifies CGB without the necessity for the text. A unique identifier sort of like how the bullion bar from the example has the logo below; or how bitcoin is identified by the BTC.



Maybe Joe's image remains the same on the right side but the left is leveled out and a logo is designed for that area...

Yes, the concept is on point for sure! Just hoping to see some variations. No doubt Joe has some serious skills and has a way of translating a concept into an image like only an exceptional artist can!

Or perhaps a solid bar with cryptography blocks as a logo on the left side of the CGB text as opposed to being part of the bullion...?

Sending you some CGB now for your help again!

BTW, has anyone asked you to update the GLD client? They have a fork coming soon...

This one is badass! I would love to see a couple of variations on this:
1) Platinum instead of gold
2) Gold bar with platinum lettering
3) Platinum bar with gold lettering

Excellent work!

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!

August 10, 2013:

We have picked a new CryptogenicBullion logo and associated bullion bar!

Honestly, this was not an easy competition to conclude as we could have literally gone in numerous different directions and ended up with an amazing logo/bar combination. However, art is subjective and we had to pick one direction. That having been said, the CGB Team is pleased to announce that we have decided on the new face of CrytpogenicBullion!

Congratulations to JoeMattie and Cryptasm!!! The final product is a blend of JoeMattie's bullion bar creation with Cryptasms branding logo (CG). Fantastic work gentleman! We are thrilled with our final product!

Also, the CGB team would like to thank all of the other artists that participated in this competition! We loved so many of the pieces and are grateful for all of your hard work and efforts.

We initially had intended for there to be one winner and one reward of 500 CGB. It became evident from all of the high quality submissions and additional edits that it was only fair to raise the stakes in order to compensate for the time and effort involved. Due to these realizations, we have bumped up the total prize pool to 1495 CGB to be awarded as follows:

Winners:
500 CGB to JoeMattie (PAID)
500 CGB to Cryptasm (PAID)

Above and Beyond:
150 CGB to jonoiv for his submissions and assistance with the contest rules (PAID)
150 CGB to Mymenace for his submission, edits and amazing efforts (one of my personal favorites) (PAID)

Honorable Mention: (Awarded 10 CGB if only 1 submission and 25 CGB if more than 1 submission)
25 CGB to Pr9me (PAID)
25 CGB to figroll
25 CGB to domtasc (PAID)
25 CGB to serrveraside
25 CGB to Kruncha (PAID)
25 CGB to bholzer (PAID)
25 CGB to r3wt (for letting his kids enter ) (PAID)
10 CGB to JonnySmithers (PAID)
10 CGB to mscharleneb (PAID)

ARTISTS NOT MARKED AS PAID ABOVE, PLEASE PM ME WITH YOUR CGB ADDRESS TO COLLECT YOUR REWARD!

And now without further ado, the winning CryptogenicBullion branding logo (CB) and the logo represented on the CGB cryptography bullion bar!

Wow, already pulled ahead of FTC.

I hope everyone has updated their client before the 55k fork. If not, please do so immediately! I am in the EST and figure that as we cross over into Sunday, the fork should occur. Don't want anyone to lose the the correct block chain. BTW, it is FRIDAY!!!

Your efforts are greatly appreciated and I like the look. However, we are looking for something a bit different than your typical "coin" logo. My intention was always to have something more along the lines of a hybrid of a block of ice and a block of bullion. Someone provided the following image which I believe to be a good template. Clean, elegant and oozes affluence.

I am geting the green light from the rest of the CGB team to have a logo design contest based off of these parameters. The payout of course would be in CGB. Would love to have you participate if this launches. Keep an eye out, hopefully I get approval to do this starting today.


Finally, I hope everyone has updated their client before the 55k fork. If not, please do so immediately! I am in the EST and figure that as we cross over into Sunday, the fork should occur. Don't want anyone to lose the the correct block chain. This announcement has been stickied at the top of the page by salty as well. I usually overlook the sticky's so posting this here as well to make sure all see. BTW, it is FRIDAY!!!

Didn't happen on an exchange and isn't visible in the block chain so not an escrow sale. I think miffman just got the numbers mixed up a bit.

Coinchoose is wrong. The subsidy halving has been pushed back to block 55k. Will occur as we cross into Sunday in the EST.

Thanks Salty! I will let you know. It will be early as we cross into Sunday by my estimation (EST).

Maybe this is better?
