Thank you! I'm going to send half to myrkul for helping me out.

woops, color-blindness

Heres my attempt at the band of light thing:

Didn't come out nearly as good as yours

Nice! It seems like it needs something though, and I can't figure out what it is...
Edit: Got it! Animation! I'm picturing the band of light moving across the coin.

If these are not the right colors, please tell me which I should use

I don't really like these ones either. I think I'm pushing too hard to try and be creative, but I'm having fun with it at least. I think I'll try and make that faded gold one that genjix wanted. Expect results to be disastrous because of my color-blindness.

I think this is a great idea, hope it goes somewhere!

Thank you!

I'm watching more and more people pop up in my state. I can't wait until there is people in the same city as me! That is, if there are other bitcoiners where I am.

I don't think these came out very well, but I'm posting them anyway. I encourage you to edit them yourselves if you have an idea like myrkul did. Suggestions

I redid yours with a transparent background in png format (JPG's try to smooth out the edges, and we don't want that in this case.) Also, 2 different sizes. Thanks again for contributing. It's really hard for me to do shading and lighting due to my color blindness.

Lol, I just got home, and was about to try the band of light thing, but looks like you beat me to it! Anyway, it looks good!

• Half the size for coin and halve the pixel size.
• Use low-key colours- give it a faded gold look.
• Add a bit of shine in a band across them.

Here is the half sized one:

As for giving it a faded gold look, do you think you could pick out a few colors from the palate in my first post for that? I'm colorblind, so I have trouble with faded colors.  

ok, I think this is the right one: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
But I don't really care if you give me credit. I just don't want people to claim it as their own.

I don't know much about licenses. What would be the most free license? I don't care what you use them for, and I don't care if you even give me credit. Well, as long as you don't claim it as your own. So not the most free actually.
Thanks, I'll try these suggestions as soon as I can.

Thanks, the last one is my favorite so far too.

austin's right. I just tried to make an account and got the same error. They're really, really easy captchas too.

I'm trying to make an 8-bit bitcoin. That is, an expanded 16 by 16 pixel image of a bitcoin using only the colors available on the NES. So I have two things I want from you.
1) Suggestions (Mainly on how I should shade with such a limited palate)
2) Feedback on which one(s) you think look best

These are the colors that were available to the NES:


Here's what I have so far. There is no shading, because I couldn't find a way for it to look good with this palate. Suggestions appreciated.




























The following are thanks to myrkul:




Edit: If you like any of these, go ahead and use them.
Edit2: Took the ones I really didn't like, let me know if anyone wants them back
