[QRK] 120,000 QRK Bounty for New Logo

[Robert Lewandowski]

We have our first ASCII character: ℚ — thanks Mjbmonetarymetals!

Bitcoin has BTC and now Quarkcoins has ℚ.

That association will help investors see that QRK has a community as strong as BTC.

We MUST receive more entries that make use of an ASCII character guys.

Keep them coming!

Its not only about ASCII characters

ℚ Quarkcoin 

ℚ     U+211A (alt-08474)   DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL Q = the set of rational numbers

Great thought! I think we have no options left. But I too think it should be simplified though.

ℚ Quarkcoin 

ℚ     U+211A (alt-08474)   DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL Q = the set of rational numbers

This is the best logo!!!!

and +1 for me for the new ℚ symbol

[opticalcarrier]

I decided to keep it just as Quark rather than QuarkCoin, kinda like Visa to Mastercard. I can do a physical coin (am thinking a simple white plastic token with the QRK logo somewhat similar to the coin) but that'll take a little bit of time. I can do the accepted here horizontal rather than vertical, but figured I'd do something different


edit : neatened up pic

This one is best by far.  And I mean FAR; dont mean to be rude, but the others are crap.

What this one has going for it is this..  a symbol.  That Q with the vertical squiggly can easily serve utility as the symbol for this currency.  Like $ is for the dollar.

And another thing.

Stop
Calling
It
A
COIN

Another way to differentiate.  Its not a coin.  None of these other things are really coins either.  OK So were not the first to do this (cryptogenic bullion, bitbar, bytebar, etc) but we can even move away from that.

The term 'quark' brings to mind particles of the universe.  hmm... universe.  universal.  A universal currency.  OK bingo now we're on to something.

From now on.  just quark.  drop the 'coin'.

Im sold on the market performance.  But still dont see what this cryptocurrency brings to the table.  "Secure" hashing?  Are all the others somehow LESS secure?  If most of the coins are in the hands of a small few, better start pumping them out slowly so as to distribute it out, if you want it to go big, and eventually be in use to buy things other than just traded back and forth like litecoin.  Just not gambling shit.  PLEASE GOD NOT THAT.  Thats when you your coin has no future, if you primarily use it for gaming.

ETA except for the orbiting stuff.  Your to a good start with that Q but the squigglies are too busy.  something more elegant yet simple maybe
EETTAA  that Q with the vertical line isnt used for anything else is it?

[duuuuude]

what is the first word people think of when they think crypto currency "bitCOIN", it  is a a great way to convey its money with just a name, i wouldnt be so quick to dismiss that.

P.S.  the creator called it QuarkCoin

No offense but that logo has no appeal to your average investor scrolling through the long list of "coins". Too much going on and too bland, just my 2 Quarks.

well thats kind of what I mean.  the orbits were too busy (too much going on) and it did need more of an elegant look (too bland).  But I like the idea of the symbol we could utilize.

Actually the more I think about it the less I question it, for this reason:  To write the symbol by hand it will look too much like a 0 or a O.  Worse yet, its would be the same as an upside down "power on" symbol.  The graphic itself is good as a symbol, IMO, since its got a wide border, but that will be rough to replicate by hand.

Regardless though, I like the idea of a symbol, not on an extruded looking coin like all the others, to represent the quark.  Sure, the symbol itself could be extruded graphically if so desired, though of course when written manually itd only have a 2D effect.

ETA:  lols and those 2 quark you gave us is not quite worth 1cent ATM.  Maybe tomorrow?  Hope so..
EETTAA:  and is quark both the singular AND plural form?  I like it that way, personally

[Buy!Buy!Buy!Buy!]

I'm a little confused, lol....too much going on but too bland? I can fiddle around with it but the idea of the flying R & K is to symbolise the atom. Maybe I'll just have a think and see if I can come up with something completely different

dcl595 your last one looks like yacoin

Mjbmonetarymetals logo is the best

I dont think yac are using it, I designed the yac cube style logo also.

Here's my entry:

If you like this design but need modifications that is no problem.

We already have ℚ but has anyone being able to design a ASCII character from scratch?

We're barely scratching the surface here guys, we need more submissions of ASCII symbols, check how Bitcoin had many before reaching a final decision: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_symbol

Why is it important to have an ASCII character? Because it celebrates Quarks as a real currency like: $, £ — and rival BTC too!

Why is that important? The logo and the currency symbol MUST match. It will help us get RIGHT logo for Quarks.

I found this tutorial, and I'm working on a version myself, but would love to see how other people approach this project.

About it:
When I read / hear about quarkcoin I think: science, quantum physics and engineering. So the logo and branding relates to those concepts. The currency symbol - Q - is always within a sphere, like an atom.
The underlying reference should be quite straightforward for anyone!
I believe it visually tells to the non-tech savvy what quarkcoin really is - reliable, secure and efficient. I'm completely open to evolutions / modifications of this design in case it was the prefered one. All graphics are vector based.

My QRK address is:     QZA95GWUshfheWkuqPGa4t5R68FRGRZ9KW

Hope you enjoy it or at least it gives you some ideas

And good job everyone, i saw tons of great ideas when writing this post!

Got a matching unicode for this design @ (not sure how to post these)

Unicode number: U+2349
