[Max Guevara]

A new look QT wallet is available for download. After some great suggestions, I decided to go for this icon:



The new icon comes thanks to user ohiwastedmylif.

yep, I think you made a great choice

thanks to ohiwastedmylife
can he please post his QRK wallet so community and muself may send some appreciation?

is it the same link for downloads Max, do I need to update site?
thanks

ohiwastedmylife, is it possible you could post some different size versions of this coin icon? with clear background
thankyou muchly

Thanks Guido. The links have changed, so you'll have to update.

Here are some of the graphics I've extracted from the original. Hopefully ohiwastedmylif can help us out.

Looking great, but sadly the website is still looking pretty fugly.

http://quarkcoin.org

Time to dump the sci-fi graphics and go with the nice new logo.

It's very bad lol.

[Guido]

there are new graphics coming

as far as the 'propeller' logo above I think is fine for wallet but as someone mentioned before is very similar to adobe tm image and looks like a propellor not a quark

i think this is the best imo



the animated image will go from main site and be replaced with an infographic, thats coming
animated was their for fun
and forum will be updated with graphics

if anyone wants to pull their own finger out or donate rather than blow hot air, thats always preferable lol

also , dont forget not just quarkcoin.org

there is a forum.quarkcoin.org

please join and add opinions, inputs, help etc there and join community
imo forum looks pretty slick and new logo will be added tomorrow

Is there a block explorer?

[Guido]

Is there a block explorer?

just trying to get sorted
someone did post a script/zip but site appears down
if anyone could do a script and mention what needs adding I can add to main site
keen to do this as one is very much needed

failing that if people want to offer to contribute to a bounty to encourage someone to write a script

[Xleek]

I was look for creating a Quark Mining Pool, but I have no clues about how to do this. May look around the Internet to figure out how
(I've got a server that does nothing except solo mining. If it could be used to handle a pool instead, that'd be better

[eule]

We not only need a pool, but also a miner. 

[Guido]

currently miners are happy to solo mine it seems
as difficulty keeps doubling I think that will change

[Guido]

ok i added this one but is too dark



do people think if the triangle in middle was like the darker backing and the darker backing was the golden colour of centre would make more sense?

or should we use wallet icon?

again like i said, i feel this one looks too much like a propeller and adobe logo, as much as its cool

need to finalise so can get logo sorted and donate buttons etc
thanks

please give opinion and feedback, cheers

top one is a bit nicer, however i think stick to the other one since be good to have one theme for the coin as it's emblem.

both are very good though.

thanks for feedback. tend to agree. although feel it needs some tweaking to look less propellerish with hole in centre
and more coin looking, ie gold or silver backing rather than poker chip looking

thoughts?

unfortunately ohiwastedmylife (logo designer) is rarely here on forum to answer questions etc

feel free anyone else to tweak?

hmm could perhaps try to replace the circle in the centre with a smaller shape of the quark outline , if you don't like the circle, i think it looks okay? so sort of like a wiggly y inside itself. Yeah try a few diff backing colours too. see which looks best.  I think both look good already so just mini tweaks to try and see how it looks.

[Guido]

a Q in the middle to fill hole?

[cryptohunter]

a Q in the middle to fill hole?

good idea

[Guido]

maybe the Q could have 2 lines through rather than 1 to look like a currency symbol? like bitcoin
maybe even the outer ring of coin could be the Q?

just ideas, need some designers to step up to plate to tweak now as I'm not a designer, not by a long chalk lol

[ohiwastedmylif]

I am quite busy right now and will not be able to make tweaks for a few days, if anyone wants to tinker with a simplified .PSD file of the artwork or just want some large PNG's you can find them here:
