Crypto Bullion Vault 3.0.0 set to launch soon... need new logo

[thebiglello]

As I said, I wanted to give it a try!

But I'd like to share with you some of my thoughts as a professional art director and designer before showing you the results.
We are talking about a logo here, but this is an actual restyling of your coin (brand), so it's not just the logo: it's about the way Crypto Bullion talks to his customers and buyers, its "tone of voice".

Therefore, let's start with the name: I think that the name Crypto Bullion is a little weak compared to other competitors'. If you take a look at the top positions of the cryptocurrencies chart, the coins have simple names

I designed the logo, its negative version (to use on dark background) and a few examples of application, to understand how the logo and brand image could work on different media: they are the splash page of an app, a background and a physical coin, after reading that FiniteByDesign wants to create one!

Let me know what you think about my proposal, hope you like it!

Yes, there is no way around this, you have a point! Love the idea of the "Bullion" - that name belongs to CBX.

I also like the logo; let's see what others think

I'm glad you agree and like the logo too!
Let's wait for the rest of the team

Therefore, let's start with the name: I think that the name Crypto Bullion is a little weak compared to other competitors'. If you take a look at the top positions of the cryptocurrencies chart, the coins have simple names (quite always they are just a single word); if you take out clones created by forks, in the first 10 positions you have: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Ripple, Cardano, IOTA, Dash, NEM, Monero. And I could go on, but I think you got the idea: the winning names are simple, short and easy to memorize. As a professional, I'm sure that Bitcoin is the top player also because of its perfect naming! I understand the reasons why you included the word crypto in your name back in 2013, but years have passed, cryptocurrencies have grown in popularity worldwide, and that need may no longer exist.
Luckily for you, you have a great solution at hand! You can easily switch from Crypto Bullion to just Bullion, keeping CBX as the short name. This makes it possible for the market to know it's the same coin we are talking about while realizing some major changes are going on. And that is the main purpose of a restyling (rebranding)!

Talking about the design, my main goal was to create a modern logo, able to communicate the technology behind the coin and the seriousness of the project. Like you suggested, the logo I designed is a stylised bull: the bull is, according to me, a perfect choice since it is a symbol of power, the symbol of the market growth and strentgh, and you can find the word bull hidden in your name! I designed a symbol that is indeed a bull but that, being so simple, becomes some sort of an abstract shape, a memorable corporate logo with a contemporary touch.
I chose a modern sans serif font, with characteristic lines and recognizable geometries. It is bolder than the previous one and italic: this helps to communicate that it is sophisticated digital store of wealth.

I designed the logo, its negative version (to use on dark background) and a few examples of application, to understand how the logo and brand image could work on different media: they are the splash page of an app, a background and a physical coin, after reading that FiniteByDesign wants to create one!

I also made a screenshot of the all cryptocurrencies chart, to show how the logo works if very small, and how it feels compared to the competitors' logos.

thebiglello,

WOW! Excellent logo, font and naming suggestion. I think you are right on target with all of this, thank you!

I agree these are excellent points and fit precisely with what we are aiming at (re-establishing CBX as a top 10 crypto).

I am not sure if this was by design, but your logo submission in addition to being a bull, also looks like a suit tie - further emphasizing the professional appearance desired.

Again, excellent work, I am impressed.

It's great to read your feedback elambert, I'm happy I've got your brief (and your situation) right and you like my logo and suggestions!
The suit tie is a happy coincidence, but it is definetely true and helps communicating your values
I tried to make it resemble a keyhole too but I needed the pointing down angle of the bull's face. But I think you can still see (or feel) the keyhole in the logo a little bit!
But the important thing is the bull is there, standing powerful and recognizible!
 

Thanks again for the nice words, hope this will be Bullion's new logo!

I did notice the keyhole in the logo as well, very cool. These images/logos that incorporate multiple images into one are amazing. Real talent you display here.

Yeah, these kind of images work on different levels, at first you see only one thing, then more... And you can't unsee them anymore!

Really like this: https://ibb.co/d54rZw 

Whilst I cant say i'm a massive fan of the logo on the metal background the one with clean lines and a while background looks brilliant! - kinda like a key or a Tie - both things we want to associate with the project imo

A logo re-brand will do CBX the world of good, also quite like the bullion text with the =b being a little bit Bitcoin'ie - further hinting at the Crypto element...

This would indeed look very good on a physical piece! Looking forward to seeing how this is received...

I'm glad you like it!
The metal coin is just a mock-up of a real life coin, it's always the same logo but used on different surfaces, media, etc.
The =b is a little touche that gives more depth to the logotype, happy you noticed

LOVE IT!!

Like your idea of the rename to Bullion also. Really bang on in your reasoning.

Had to repeat myself a few times when suggesting Crypto Bullion to friends and relatives.

Simply 'Bullion' is a great idea.

You have my vote on this.

Great design and rebrand idea.

Nice work!!

Bull, keyhole, tie, =b. I like it.
Top notch, thebiglello! Grazie!

[pedrillo0]

Very good! 

[Cbx.Bet]

like a lot of people here I love the idea and the logo
Would it be possible to see it in any color other than turquoise, just to see if another color makes it better.

Prego e grazie a te, malafaya!

Yes it's possible!
I already tried some other colors and this one was my favourite, but I'll try some other palette later 

[aizzaku]

really nice logo

if everyone is happy i would not try anything more..

this re-branding would be super nice good job

[FiniteRed]

Yes, gets my vote! - tho if we are going to re-brand the rest of the wallet (colour scheme, font and style all need heavily updating to a light, minimalist, prof. theme) no more black / dark "Hacker" theme - sends entirely the wrong message :/

[redalert11]

How many cbx will be required for a Masternode?

[aizzaku]

How many cbx will be required for a Masternode?

Please look at the discussion in the main thread.

you need 2000 CBX for a MN.

[Crxpto]

Hello, are you still taking logo submissions? I have a few ideas that I can mockup that could be a great fit for this. Lmk

Hello everyone, thanks for participating/following this thread about the next CBX logo.

By unanimity, thebiglello wins with his logo and name change concept, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2619125.msg27094366#msg27094366

The logo, or a slight variant of it, will be used for CBX, the question being discussed now is if we will also change the name from "Crypto Bullion" to just "Bullion".

thebiglello, please contact me by PM with your CBX deposit adresses and we will send you 150 CBX.
