Feathercoin [FTC]

[3Dfilament]

Technically, structurally, all other things totally aside, this is my choice in a round design.

1. Compact, quickly recognizable, F engulfing C = (ownership, compartment, purse, wallet, secure, held, vault, hidden, strong)
2. Works, (structurally mind you), as a desktop icon, program icon, browser tab icon, taskbar icon ... because the structure lends itself to reduction in size and resolution. Functionality and flexibility.
3. Letter "C" inside the "F", again, has compact logo-like characteristics, scans for instant recognition. The "C inside the F" is two letters, and it is not, it is a "thing", a brand, an icon, an image unto itself.
4. It has a machine quality, component quality, things "fit" together, it has balance and strength and complexity, while having a quality where everything known about feathercoin can be instantly resolved and easily attached to the symbol. It's got an "elemental" quality, like AU, or AG.

+1 !

I totally agree on point 1-2-3 ! Reduction in scale and resolution is very important, some of the incredibly nice logo posted here don't scale very well..
I can barely understand half of point 4, probably because I'm not native english speaker :-)

Reduced to 200x200 pixels from the working size at 800x800 pixels, it's complex, and again, just a concept design, it could certainly be simplified and recreated in vector based image software to prep it for reduction for a logo's many demanding uses, I just had that whole "Dream Catcher" kind of thing hit me when looking for feathers, so I decided to make sum art stuff. Litecoin, wow, really popping hard tonight, huge gains today, feathercoin, sneaking up fast.

Here's my last submission (or so I keep telling myself) :

This is the one I prefer, until now. I do like the feather symbol. The "F" is not so cool on a coin.

My favorite of any I've seen is your bottom left.  Love the design and the color.  Bitcoin uses gold.  Litecoin uses silver.  This represents the copper/bronze ideals of FC.

I like both on the left.

I would strongly reccomend NOT going with a silver or gold color.  You will be hard to distinguish from the established BTC and LTC logos.  The color makes a difference and even a small logo will be recognizable as Feathercoins.

When BTC is Gold, Litecoin is Silver, Feathercoin should be "bronze to gold".

Man i love feathercoin, so much more fun to solomine vs ltc for the moment.
Gotten 3000FC in 1,5 days.

Hi again all. I'm not giving up the fight just yet. Based on a lot of positive feedback on my bronze/copper coin design, I've worked around that and finalised (or finalized if you're West of here) my designs. I now have a total of 11 final entries that I am happy with. I have included the silver ones as Bush seemed to like them, but I actually totally agree with those that say Feathercoin should be a copper colour.

Another note : The copper icons with LESS detail look way better at 16x16.

Here they are :

1. 2. 3.

4. 5. 6.

7. 8. 9.

10. 11.


WISH ME LUCK!

I prefer 1 and 9.
The letter F alone can't show how fast Feathercoin is, so a feather logo is preferred.

Thanks you all for your entries, there is some stellar work here. I am now calling an end to entries and will be looking through all the designs for the one that works best.

I will post the result here.

desings

Wow! They all look awesome!

My favourites are No. 9 and No. 2

No. 9 because it has the feather and some circuitry in the background.
No. 2 because it's kinda retro-futuristic (plus reminds me of WingCommander)

Anxiously awaiting the official Feathercoin

Can't wait. Good luck to all who entered.

[bushstar]

The winner is nprussell with this entry. This one works especially well at a lower resolution because of the stark border and I like the feather. Every other coin goes with a letter so lets break the mould.



Thanks to all those that entered. I have sent a small bounty to everyone who submitted an entry.

Now I'm off to create an icon set for distribution. When the binaries are updated to include the new icons, I will reply back here.

[nprussell]

Yessssss!!!!

I won something!

Thank you

Yessssss!!!!

Thank you

Congratulations!

I tried but your design was by far the best! I really liked the feather.

Feathercoin.com needs a rework, currently it doesn't look professional, both text and design.
At least the down arrow should be aligned left, not center.
Look at litecoin.org, terracoin.org or novacoin.org design for comparison.
Maybe you need to create another design contest for feathercoin's main website ?

This is going to be worked on this weekend by the same person who created the mining calculator and stats pages.

I have created a zip with a 256x256 PNG and favicon.ico file of the winning logo.

Google Drive - iconset.zip

[aikklond]

Agreewith above.

Next STEP to fix the website.

ALSO excelent Logo , real COINS have images NOT Letters!

Altough i like the logo  I think this solid metalic finish is much better, it is much more like a real coin.

Cant you combine the semiconductor watermark mith this metallic tecture?





Attentions. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE COIN LOOKS of HIGH CraftManship: Slightly Reflective Mettallic Collor is better: like platinum or shined silver, not like Dull Silver (or of course bronge).

Dont possition the coins value low, let the market decide.
