Here is an image I created some months back: http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g352/kroptofer/bitcoin.jpgI don't know about you, but I still prefer the first logo which had the actual letters "BC" written on the coin instead of the strange double strikethrough "B" : It reminds me too much of the dollar and other currencies. Am I the only one bothered by this? Now, I'm obviously no graphic designer, but are there any out there who made logos with a similar way of thinking? (maybe some logos that don't look like the looney tunes title card, unlike mine) By the way, I have been generating bitcoins since at least April '09, but this is my first post here. I guess I was starting to feel left out of the discussions.

Now that "BTC" is heavily used to mean "bitcoins", I think it's worth deprecating "BC". When the "BC" logo was originally used, way back when, there was no widespread usage of "BTC". I think it's more than enough enough to have strikethrough-B and BTC, without reviving a third abbreviation.

but for bitcoin central the bc logo is THE candidate for a favicon v 2.0

Sure, that's a natural and appropriate use of "BC".

Could it just be a B in a circle? That way it'd match the Ⓑ unicode symbol that some of us want to see adopted as the official symbol. I agree the double strikethrough isn't great, due to the Baht conflict.

The Baht has a single line. Bitcoin has two.

That's still pretty close. Dollar symbol is written with both one and two strikethroughs sometimes.

Well, what if I were to toy around with the logo, and the next favicon would look something like this: http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g352/kroptofer/bitcoinFace1.pngor this: http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g352/kroptofer/bitcoinFace2.pngor heck, maybe even - http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g352/kroptofer/bitcoinMascot1.pngand a horizontal version: http://i1097.photobucket.com/albums/g352/kroptofer/bitcoinMascot2.pngalthough instead of simply a favicon, I seem to have made a mascot. Imagine, he could be shooting at some real-world currency characters...alright I just spent way too much time on these, I think I'll go visit one of the geopolitical, socio-economic forums.

I laughed out loud!
You should post this on witcoin, I guess, and maybe expand on it.

Good Sir that is full of win ! This character should star in the bitcoin animation film
