Your trying to rig the vote
The vote wasn't rigged. I went around to different channels asking people to vote for it because i like it best, it fits with the wallet and it doesnt look like my daughter drew it on her leap pad. Its quite professional and marketable. I think either of these images are great and are very refined adn will be happy with either. Sadfaces image lost quit pumping it.
so you rigged the vote ?
given that i'm out i'd like to give an opinion on that second logo:
its not original work. its a cheap photoshop of some images found on the web. its not vector, its not scalable.
the type is too small and it's got too many colors which makes it expensive to print (prolly also gradients, too lazy to check that right now). i count three different fonts in there, that dont work with each other at all.
there is more, but should be enough.
if this is anything of a serious coin, you will end up redoing the logo in half a year.
logos like that should be excluded from the contest in the first place.
regarding the first logo:
its got that egg shape, due to the 3d effect. not sure if you got it in a round icon type of shape aswell, would be mandatory imo. heavy use of gradients, no vector.
as far as i can say it is original work and it looks good, so the designer knows his way around the software he did it with. if it wins he might be able to adjust it a bit so it can be used as a logo, icon etc. right now its a wallpaper/banner kind of artwork to me.
my vote goes to #1
Thanks for your vote. I really liked yours and I personally think it fits better with the wallet than mine. However, it MAY look too similar with DOGE. I made mine with something completely different in mind, and I guess this was not appreciated by some. My thoughts were that Doge is already cute, and making something similar would just make this coin even more like DOGE and imo that would not work for this coin. My thoughts were that this coin needed to have a completely different appearance. I also offered to change the shape of the character by the devs needs. Anyway, about vector. Yes, it's a 3d render so its no vector. I can obviously render the front and it still looks good. I actually made it based on a vector i drew, so an icon is also possible. As you understand, I can render it out in unlimited resolution, so that's not really a problem. If you need a poster or anything i just render it in 10k by x, so I guess in this case 'no vector' isn't really an issue.
