Hey man, I just want to make sure you know I'm not trying to rip off and take credit for your design or anything. I just really like different things about your version and what has been posted so far, for example the green eco-style background and the coin combined with your layout and buttons. I think it's important that we stick with the greenish background rather than the gray, since it represents an eco theme.

In this updated version I chose to replace ppcoin.org with p2p coin. I wanted to make sure p2p was somewhere on the website because it tells people what pp means, for those who don't know. I added the new buttons you included since they look better. I also changed the button text from Paper to "How it Works". Maybe paper can still be included somewhere else, but I think it's important that we include a link to a page that properly explains exactly what ppcoin is in laymans terms.

I removed the ppcoin = proof of stake + proof of work phrase. Although I do like it, I think it would confuse people that are new to the cryptocurrency world. I just added p2p coin and that was it. I think the better idea would be to just explain what proof of stake is on the how it works page and how it's a better system than bitcoin.

Is that a Grand Theft Auto map in the background? Seriously, I looked at the website when I first learned of the coin and was like WTF? Luckily I looked past it and did some more research, but who knows how many people have been turned away because of it. This will be a huge step in giving ppcoin more credibility.

Thanks, that helped me eliminate the jagged edges on the far right icon.

I like the top image best since it spells out P2P Coin. Hopefully it will help clear up the confusion about what pp stands for.

Hey, I used Paint to modify that image above to include the style we're working with now, just to see what it looked like. There might be some jagged edges. There's only so much I can do with Paint, but at least it will give you an idea of what it would look like. Maybe somebody can do a better version using Photoshop. I made two versions..

Deleted post, ignore.

I personally haven't liked any of those designs, but thanks for helping out. The more we have to choose from the better.

And speaking of choice, how exactly are we going to nail down which one to use? Should we start another thread with a poll in it or does Sunny have the final say?

We should also decide on the slogan. "Currency Needn't Cost the Earth" is more obvious it's eco-friendly where "Redefining the Nature of Curreny" is more subtle. Not sure which one I like better.

Also, I'm not sure if I like the updated design as much. There seems to be too much going on now, where the previous version was simpler and cleaner. I also don't like the ridges around the outside of the coin, though others might. I haven't seen Bitcoin or Litecoin use ridges before. I think we need to have more opinions on it.

Lol, I think your logo triggered a ppc pump.

I think we may have a winner!

Here, I altered the design just a little bit to connect the two P's at the top and in the middle so it doesn't look like it says IP anymore. What do you think? I actually like the P symbol more now that it's squished closer together. It looks better than the spaced out version we were working with.

Mjbmonetarymetals, I'm liking each design you post better than the last. The thinner rim around the coin and the redesigned leaf give it a much more simplistic look. What would that design look like with the other P symbol as this one looks like it says IP?

Expanding on this, I think it looks like a leaf crossed with the AT&T logo, only green instead of blue.

Wow, that's my favorite one so far. I also like the double meaning of nature in the slogan. One question though, why are the edges of the coin jagged looking?

I like the P symbol with the horizontal line at the bottom like the one in my avatar. The other symbol looks too complicated in my opinion.

Are they supposed to be like green honeycombs or something? Just wondering what the thought was behind the design and how that fits in with the Eco-theme. I like the fact that it creates a pattern that fits the entire background of the coin, similar to the way Litecoin has the diagonal stripe pattern.

By the way Sunny, in case you didn't see, here is some discussion about your proposal...

Has anyone involved with this project tried contacting him to make him aware of it? He also said this in his blog...

"If you or anyone you know is one of the top percentile programmers and theorists in P2P protocols please contact us here at TDV."

Not sure if anyone here is a P2P programmer, but it sounds like he's interested in hearing from people that want to build something like this.

I've been waiting since last night to post this, since I was relegated to the newbie forum, but I love the new logo, if that is indeed what we're sticking with. I made it my new avatar. I think it helps bring PeerCoin a little bit more credibility. I just wish the website was updated now to be more friendly and informative to new people.

So my private messages should be working now right?

Why is the name China coin? Does the designer live in China or something?

Are online bank transfers not allowed for US customers yet? I don't see the option in the drop down menu. I hate using moneygram at CVS. Their internet went down last time I sent money and I had to wait there 30 minutes to confirm the transaction went through. If it's not allowed yet, is there an ETA?
