I wanted to run the contest on Design Outpost, but they don't accept Bitcoin yet. Anyway, the rules will run similarly - here's some examples if you're not familiar -

Post your entries here, I'll provide feedback, and I expect other users will too. You can amend your entry as you get feedback, and you can submit as many designs as you like. The contest ends when I'm satisfied we've got a good logo and startup screen.

Prize is $100 USD put up by the MemoryCoin Foundation and paid in Bitcoin. Exchange rate to be determined at time of payment.

MemoryCoin is named for three reasons.
1. Money is memory
2. The hash is memory access intensive.
3. Brainwallets are a feature of all cryptocurrencies - but later we'll be emphasizing this in MC - to remind users they can store their balances with a memory pass phrase if they wish.

Those are fairly disparate reasons, all tied together by the idea of memory.

Thanks Menace - I like the three solid bars for the M. It's a nice simple symbol and could symbolize stability (columns) or wealth (gold bars). They could be memory chips (black) or the contacts on memory chips (gold). Also I like the 'U' shaped hole on the edge of a memorychip (I'm not sure what it is called) but it is very recognizable as a part of a memory chips.

I don't like the intricate design at the top and bottom - they are fine for the startup screen, but I think a logo should be a fair simple symbolic design.

As for colours, I think the colours of a memory chip are good place to start, dark green, black and gold.

Thanks - For the logo, I like the simplicity of it, and I like the colours, but it doesn't represent anything to me - it's just the letter M.

For the startup screen - the schematic of a memory board is a good idea.

Thanks for the entry - For the logo, I like the gold colour, but not the grey. Also I don't think the chip schematic is suitable for a logo - it's needs to be simpler and symbolic.

I like the startup screen better, but not the font so much.

I find these all a bit foreboding - I find the 3 lines evocative of prison bars (maybe because they are long and close together) and the U looks like an entrance to a sort of mountain fortress. Also for colors - not sure I like two shades of green, or two shades of grey. I think two or three different colors works better for a logo.

I think this one has too much intricate detail for a logo, and the shades of similar colour means the M doesn't stand out. I think we need something more symbolic.

[stas]

 Submission4 then, M stands out there

[mymenace]

I hope people get it it has the m for memory and hash symbols as well, as well as looking similar to a dollar symbol
