logo concept
feedback appreciated
Thanks a lot!
Here is a couple of things that occured to me:
- The snakes in the hammer are twisted strangely
- The "ripples" that start from the center of the coin and move outward are strangely transparent with the hammer (i.e it is not stamped into but drawn over)
- Very modern depiction of Mjollnir
Just for Info: The original logo is an image of an actual
13th century coin. In it you can see Mjollnir pictured as a cross, in Midieval times this symbol was used by Pagans and Christians. Not only did it help trading between the factions in that time, but it also showed some level of tolerance (and protected identity, as the other person would not be able to guess your religion)
Since Mjollnircoin has some similarities (no restrictions on who can take part,a means to facilitate trading,etc) I prefer to see a a modern version of the "cross-hammer"
Appreciate the feedback
keeping in line with the viking coinage of the time
I would like to approach the design from a viking perspective and in line with the developers and community of Mjollnircoin
this imagery is common of the cross and hammer coinage of the time commonly known as a Mjölnir (hammer)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mj%C3%B6lnir with a christian cross
other imagery associated with viking coinage is the Trefoil knot

.
and the triquetra

completing the imagery on the coins of the time are also runes
It would be great to get the link that references the image on the first page of the announcement thread
would it be best to include all these images or just the Mjölnir with cross as depicted on the coin on the announcement thread
