To  be honest, the font logotype is perfect. Swap the font to something more pronounced, and concentrate on the slogan. Complete currency commerce, commerce without borders, fee-free commerce, shopping super charged,  etc. I am not at my most creative right now, but i'll update with some thoughts when i am.

Check out the frutiger font if you have a moment.

You might have better luck picking a proficient designer here and contracting with them. In the design world we call this "spec work" because it is a speculative investment of time which may or may not pay off. This can lead to troubles for designers in general as well as contractors looking for design work. As a designer I think your fee is quite reasonable, and you should have no trouble finding a designer who will make the logo to your satisfaction. I would suggest you ask users to post samples and them make an agreement with one user. This method almost always works out best for everyone. Good luck with your project.

I agree with this. I was going to pitch the idea to someone I know that's great at art and logo design but I decided I don't want to drag them into something that may or may not even pay off. It sucks to spend hours working on something to perfect it, just to find that you get absolutely nothing to show for it.

No *direct* financial benefit, but if you really spent hours on something perfecting it, surely it would be a good addition to your portfolio, where you could *indirectly* benefit from the effort at some point in the future.

A good investment in your own advertising, regardless of whether you get paid immediately or not.

Understood. I went ahead and passed it on to see what the artist thought, and she decided to give it a go for fun. Let me know what you think about this -- hand-drawn. Think of that as being a mock-up. Essentially the real version would be drawn in using a Wacom.

Thanks ranlo ~  I think this design looks a little too busy/ emblem'y ?
But then again, it could look really nice once it's polish off with some gradients and stuff ?

I'm not sure what the text is riding on and I'd say the 'L' in 'fLibbr' needs to be more defined so it doesn't get confused with 'fibber' like a liar.

But I mean no worries, if she wants to polish it up and stick on the thread go for it, if not, no worries. .   to be honest there's some really good submissions coming in [pm] and I might have to stick these on for public vote to help sway my vote.. so maybe she'd like to have a go ?

We've decided not to waste any more time on this. Good luck to anyone who enters the contest though, .

Thanks for the positive words my friend. My main goal is to help promote the growth of bitcoin and crypto currencies in general.

You're an Ancap too

Gotta be Ancap . . anything else is violence   But yeah thanks for the submission but it's a bit 8bit / Mario ? On the plus side is does have a 'digital' edge to it.

Yes t he Frutiger font is nice, 'Commerce without borders' is really nice, has a kind of world wide shipping / borderless payment system thing going for it.

All good points. Unfortunately I'm not big on the 'picking a designer' style of doing things.
I really like 99designs way - competition style - you get a greater variation of work worth alot more than the original bounty . .  so obviously it's great for the employer, but is risky for the designer. 
This is the same approached used by things like the Google X Prize and such. Iif your into Science/ Space/ Evolution and stuff, checkout this by Peter Diamandis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KxckI8Ttpw

On the flip side, if your a designer and low on work, it might be of interest to you.  .  . either way, it's a peaceful voluntary interaction

I think you think you are getting a better deal than you are. Spec work often results in problems for contractors as well. Do a search for USAGI on this forum for a good example of how it can go wrong. Additionally pissing off a bunch of your potential user base by exploiting them for cheap labor is not the way to go either. A note to designers, participating in this kind of spec work also devalues your own ability to get paid in other jobs. If someone could get 100 rubes to do it for free why would they pay you? I suggest that any self respecting designer should not participate in spec work.

Site like [99designs] destroy prices

Sounds like the free market at work - As flibbr said, it's a voluntary interaction.
