[Problems with the currently used bitcoin symbols include]

I'd put this in one of the threads discussing the design of the bitcoin symbol but as I am limited to this forum I'll post it here. I was thinking and reading a lot about the design of the bitcoin symbol and came up with a proposed solution. Have a read and see what you think:

If you don't want to read the PDF, here's the tl;dr:

Problems with the currently used bitcoin symbols include: One is the Thai baht and the other is a B with two extra vertical slashes (for a total of 3) which can look cramped if written manually and interpreted in other typefaces. It also takes time to write.

Problems with designing any new symbol: Can't look remarkably different to the ones being used now.

My proposed solution: Combine the # sign with a B to give the symbol meaning and simplicity.
