1 Bitcoin Bounty Contest for the Official Bitcoin Book Cover and Symbol [Closed]

[charleshoskinson]

<sup>The Bitcoin Education Project has partnered with Justin O`Connell from GoldSilverBitcoin and New World University to write a comprehensive introductory book on Bitcoin and its ecosystem. We need two pieces of artwork. The first needs to be a high resolution book cover for Bitcoinomics: The Official Bitcoin Book. The second is a symbol to represent the book as an icon for apps, clickable buttons, etc. We will run this thread for the next week and choose the best three for a voting thread. The winner will receive a bitcoin and also recognition in the book once released.

We already have a deal for physical distribution in 2014 and thus you should see you work at Barnes and Noble after the initial digital run. This book will also be used as the textbook for a for credit course offered by New World University starting in January.</sup>

Do you have something in mind? Text style? Color scheme? Anything would help.

Yes it seems a good idea to think ahead on your look/style, so that you can end up putting out lots of books all clearly related, like the O'Rielly (sp?) bunch of books on programming and the for dummies books and so on. A look you can carry over through book after book to lead to a nice shelf of books all clearly from your reputable publishing company / education project.

PM me a some more detailed information like the color scheme and what message you would like to bring across in the design.

I can have a design made within 24 hours for you.

[newflesh]

Any chance you could give us the dimensions for the book and any colors/themes you have in mind? Thanks

[Mitchell]

Has anyone heard from OP?

Nope.

The book is a comprehensive introduction to the bitcoin space. It also will be used by a university for courses thus something somewhat conservative, yet reflects our cryptoanarchy roots.

Exactly, this is kinda the beginnings of a visual brand and I'd like to see what the community can offer. I'm open to most ideas and I'm really excited about the creativity.

I'll give it a go when I have some free time. A few specifications would be nice Smiley

Scale to Folio, Quarto and Octavo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_size. Use vectors. No visual brand has been established thus use your imagination and we'll work together to get there.

Blacks and blues are nice, imagine a book containing all the information of Bitcoin within. The bible of the movement that will be referred to as the Bitcoin book. What would it look like? What should it feel like. What's the texture.

OP, could you give me some feedback?

Damn. That is a nice cover!

[duxZero]

This is just a base design.

As a student myself, i'm trying to make this design feel like something that i would want to read and how bitcoins as a whole make you feel, AMAZED AND VIBRANT.

Nice design's guys.. Goodluck

Sorry all for my tardiness. I've had some health issues that have really slowed me down, but I'm feeling better now thanks to some good stomach meds. I really like newflesh's symbol , but it needs more detail and color. Perhaps get a gradient and some black?  duxZero your cover is really amazing . I love the use of color and the simplicity. Keep working on it. Bitcoinomics needs to be the largest element of the title. Remove the bitcoin where you have placed it and move the symbol somewhere else. I agree that it needs to be in the cover somewhere, but just not there.

For the second versions, really zero in on what dux has done. I like elegant simplicity. It's hard to get right, but once you see it, you love it. On an interesting note, it appears that the bounty is now worth 400 bucks .

Thanks for the feedback, I've updated my first logo sub; will be submitting a few more cover designs over the next couple of days.

Hello Charleson

Firstly I created my vision of the cover
I hope you like it.
I Can produce it in any resultion you wish couse I make it in 3D editing programm using vector graphics.

First version is with inside-empy coin.



Let me know if you find it interesting for you so I could start to work on App-icon design (512 x 512 format as Google Play needed it in such?)

[pabloangello]

Another book cover proposition with "full coin" and little lighting changes:

[pabloangello]

Third version with different chart-path and block chains in background:



That would be all for now
I'm waiting for your reply with opinion.

Cheers!
