I think there's a real opportunity to tackle some of that negative white connotation here.  Something really subtle, like turn the join of the W into clasped hands to signify peace or togetherness.  Not accurate fingers, just some (or even one) short horizontal or oblique lines.  Enough to have a story, and enough to leave it as it is, a good clean logo.

I liked the metallic feel of the original, mind.

Great finalists, well done all.

Thanks guys, I will definitely stop by IRC and take a look.

Hi, I’m a relative newcomer to crypto, with just a small stake over last couple of months. Some good moves, some not so good.  Here’s my take on a couple of things, will be interested in what you think.  Sorry it's long.

First off, when I first saw White Coin my first thought was not so much scam but more lazy, even sycophantic in terms of wanting to profit from BC’s success.  But the more people started to jump on board, the more I bonded.  It seems that community is the Higgs Boson to alt coins, and gives them substance.

Sure, there were some maybe wild expectations of hitting 10000 satoshi straight off but there was an unmistakable buzz.  Fast forward that to the trials of the first days of POS and boy, were people set to lose a lot.  And yet, through that, the WCF came through and got the train back on the track, through what must have been a difficult time.

The more I get to know crypto the more I see it as about making positives from negatives: be that from the trust network at the heart of BTC or examples like this where we got an enhanced community out of the hole of an original developer who – at best – bit off more than he could chew.  The WCF are probably taking a much needed pause but we should keep the donations flowing.  As I say, I only have a small stake but I have given a little WC to the cause.

But where to from now?  Was it only about getting the coin off life support or do people genuinely want to develop something deserving of the WCF's time and effort.  It seems to have gone quiet in the community, although that may be just me.  But we all need to help the WCF take it forward, whether that is donations or dialogue, ideas or action.  Heck, it’s prompted me to do something I probably never thought I would.  Post.

So where do we go from here?  First things first, I think we should have an expectation in mind of how much the team need to be compensated and make it so.  We can’t enforce that but it is important to reward and move forward within the structures that Mogonzo and the guys have set out.

Anyway, I’m going on too much so should stop there.  The main thing is: let’s not lose the opportunity that the transition team have given WC.  It could – maybe should – be on the scrapheap.  It isn’t – and there are many people invested in seeing it grow.  Let’s make it happen.

All the best,
