Hi all. Here are a few of my designs. Overall I wanted to design something distinctive in the crypto space and also stay true to the roots of Solaris.
Option 1
With this option, I wanted to stay in the same conceptual space as the existing logo but freshen it up a bit and give it a clean redesign.

This option (and the next) take the gold alchemy symbol into a more abstract space while bringing in the S for Solaris into the mark itself. I've also brought in a complementary secondary color (lighter blue) to play off the yellow and orange tones of the mark.

Similar to option 2, but bringing the abstract gold alchemy symbol into a round shape. This makes the mark feel like a coin in a clean, simple, and more immediate way.

This option brightens up the color palette while keeping yellow to nod back to the coin's past. The S mark is a play off of two people coming together. This symbolizes the trust Solaris stands for through fair distribution.
