sold! NB: it is a little more 'busy' in top right ... but isn't that one of those naturally discounted areas on the page so the little bit o' business draws the eye to it? ... or else 'tx' might not be consciously noted. W/E i like it. Edit: ooohhh , just set as desktop background and got a warm fuzzy feeling. ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Edit2: wife just gave drive-by comment that she didn't read the 't' (on a laptop background sized image) on first glance ... had to do a double-take, stronger cross-bar for the t? totally up to you (she didn't have contacts in either ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) )

See the earlier ones on page 2.

See the earlier ones on page 2. good point ... perpendicular on looks fine. Thinking of rotating perspectives, wonder if anyone wants to do an animated gif with the big O-globe rotating about it's axis of symmetry ... 'made round to go round' and all that ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

This looks really great. I don't really like the colored ones, but the cardstock / spot uv looks amazing. Perhaps make a logo that looks more like the cardstock version? Also, can you make versions with TXS instead of TX in the upper corner? (Our command line tool is 'opentxs') I'd like to have the option of using it either way. I think I still have like .9 BTC laying around, so even though we're probably going with the other logo, I might still buy this one from you, if you are amenable to the price. It's just really cool. I think you may have already decided, but if not, here's what you asked for (albeit with a slightly different blue that I'm more fond of). ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fm-ato.me%2Fbitcoin%2Fotxs2.png&t=665&c=llfhypHfRzJA0Q) The "txs" in my version uses the s from the original font I used. Use this if you like. Tips appreciated if you like it. I can provide the logos in whichever raster or vector format you need.

I've been looking at these logos and I decided to submit one myself! It's a black and white rough draft so please don't judge to harshly! I will be adding texture and color soon. (Maybe a globe background, etc.)
If you liked it, please donate to: 1LYjWrQZfQsjiPZBy3LCWhvHvxG2Lbr3Ew Support hungry designers!![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F9nkqabU.png&t=665&c=m8WeFG1Bsv0_UA) lol that looks.... familiar

I love your birdcage concept. Thanks for your reply ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) In that sketch I wanted to show that a tool like Open Transactions is a good way to go out of the conventional system (jail) for the common people (bird). It's simple but has a hard concept behind.

'made round to go round' and all that ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) I couldn't help myself. I'm not that great with 3d motion (I've used blender a little but not enough to make exactly what I wanted) So I commissioned grums to make a 3d gif for me! Here is his fantastic work! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi40.tinypic.com%2Fdbair.jpg&t=665&c=788R5ecnQ2vCeQ) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Foi43.tinypic.com%2Fhs0qht.jpg&t=665&c=25U_xTpihOzsKQ) (here is his services page too: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=192764.0 )

The winner I choose is acorn. I suggest that da2ce7's reward fund be awarded to acorn.
However, I am very impressed with moltenmich's work, and we want to use his symbol as well (the one you see rotating now in gifs.) So we want to also make him a winner. I will pitch in .6 BTC and also, there is another contributor or two so that we can get his reward up to the 2 BTC as well. His symbol is superb and I would like to stick it up in the upper-left corner of opentransactions.org
I should also mention that bastardizing the work of these two artists into a single logo was my own idea, and I regret it now. Clearly the work of both artists was superior in its original form, and that is why I think it's best to just choose both of them.
We will also add a line for artist credit to our wiki. To those artists chosen, please let us know what name / contact info / donation address you'd like us to credit in the wiki.

Thank you for your kind words. And congratulations to acorn. His logo is very strong, and I'll concede, much cleaner and more concise. It will work extremely well for Open Transactions. I'm fine with my logos being used any way you wish, they are yours. However, as someone who's read waaaaay too many marketing books, I would argue you should only use acorn's chosen logo when promoting OT. Two logos will confuse the issue and weaken your brand identity. And if you want to make Acorn's logo into a 3D rotating design like the one I posted, you should ask grums. (he does very fast work) I appreciate any tips for the designs. My address is 1CghBdj6nZBzwfu26YsYG5coJregnD9WJY My name is Mich Palmer, and if you are willing to put contact info or a link, my website is http://www.michpalmer.com/. Thank you for the opportunity!
