[CLOSED] Design a physical Bitcoin - (CONTEST IS CLOSED)

[CoinHoarder]

UPDATE: This contest is now closed, please do not submit any more designs. Thank you.

What you will receive:
- 5 BTC
- 1 free physical coin with your design on it
- design credits on our website cryptovest.com (launching soon)
- the product will be named after you

What I want:
Think outside the box and don't be afraid to be creative. If you want feedback from me in a private setting so that your design is more likely to be selected, please email your design to sales@cryptovest.com for critique.

What needs to be submitted to qualify?
1. Black and white picture of the front and back of the coin (no shading or color)
2. A two toned hologram design
3. A two toned hologram design with a window for the firsbits of factory loaded coins:
4. A rendering of the coin front and back with the hologoram (no window):

What are the requirements of the design?
- All artwork shown in black will be raised on the coin. Half tones and shading cannot be reproduced on a coin and should be eliminated.
- Vector file formats are preferred, all other images should be 300 DPI or more.
The correct dimensions are:
- The coin should be 39mm in diameter. (1.53543 inches)
- The back side of the coin must have a 1 inch diameter "donut" so that when the coin insert is placed on the coin and the hologram over it, there is no bulge.
- The inner part of the "donut" (where the coin insert will go) should be 12.7mm (0.5 inches)
- The outer part of the "donut" (where the hologram will go over) should be 25.4mm (1 inch)
- The hologram should be circular and 24.13mm (.95 inch) in diameter.
- Integrate our company name "CryptoVest" somewhere in the design.
- The denomination of the coin should be 1 BTC

Let me know if you have any questions. Please excuse the Litecoin images... I would have used Bitcoin images, but the physical Litecoin is is the only product that we actually have designs for and are currently manufacturing.

Thank you,

Ch

Can't wait to see the submissions, I'm not an artist myself :/

[Boelens]

Posting for my brother here, if anyone requires help with rendering, he could do that.

[likehiro]

I'll be back here with some ideas Could it be as creative as I want or it has to be creative but keep a traditional coin design?

[austin]

I kept this in a similar style to your physical Litecoins. I didn't notice the mistake that created a few thin white lines in the back of the coin until seeing it on a dark background right now, but I can easily fix that. If you're interested in my design, I can make a 3D render for you.

I forgot to add a second tone to the holograms, but that's very easy to do as well.

Any timeframe/deadline on this?

[CoinHoarder]

Thank you everyone for your interest! I'm surprised to see already one quality submission! Very nice Austin, I like it.. simple, yet elegant!

As creative as you'd like!

Any timeframe/deadline on this?

It will go until I announce a winner. Sorry to be vague, but I don't really want to put a time limit on it. I will likely wait about a week and review the submissions thus far and decide if it should go longer or not.

Thanks, just wanted to make sure I didn't have to rush this one... have a couple concepts in my head, just have to actually design them and want to take my time

Does the 1 inch Holo spot need to be centered or can I have it anywhere I like?

It can be anywhere you like.

Please change the back of the coin though, to adjust for the different hologram placing.

Thanks

I will participate but what is the deadline?

*Edit*
OKay I got my answer from the previous post. I will place my submission soon.

front/back:
 


another front:



Hologram:
 




for fun, other fronts I attempted:  
 



(never claimed to be the best at 3d rendering, but I tried!     I'd have better success if I could actually get my ai file to import correctly into cinema4d, but my circuits don't come over correctly when saving down to illustrator 8  )

Thickness of coin?

It doesn't matter. I can make just about any thickness coin.

However, I may not be able to do custom edges when it comes to actually making the coins. Not a lot of manufacturing companies offer this, but I would shop around for one if someone had a good design utilizing the edges.

K cool.

<awesome designs>
(working on the rendering)

Hey ibminer!

I really like those, nice job! The back of the coin is really cool!

Thanks for making a design!

The site said these would be engraved for security? Is that correct?

[CoinHoarder]

The site said these would be engraved for security? Is that correct?

I only have a "coming soon" page up on the website now. If you somehow managed to make it in the website, all information is not final, a lot of it is just placeholders and/or the original example text/elements from from the theme I used.

I'm not sure what you mean by "engraved for security."

[CoinHoarder]

Heres the front side of the coin with binary spelled CryptoVest. The back side will be post soon.

Neat, thank you! 

[jasinlee]

Well it mentioned something about being the most secure coins made. Could you elaborate?

[CoinHoarder]

Oh yes, it doesn't have to do with engraving though.

I am spending the extra money to add more security features to the hologram that other coin's don't have. So, these will be the most counterfeit deterrent holograms for physical cryptocoins currently available. These features will make it easy to confirm for anyone that the holograms on the coins are genuine and not fakes. Notice I say "counterfeit deterrent" and not "counterfeit proof". It is technically impossible to make something that is counterfeit proof, however with added security features you can make it very hard for someone to do.

There will also be cheaper holograms with less security features if you prefer price over security.
