[ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency

[coins101]

.....
 Bingo. At first I absolutely hated the name. But when this argument surfaced into head, I fell head over heels with Dash.
 I had Darkcoin way too deep in my heart.

 Dash is absolutely brilliant.

.

It was a team effort, but I'll take some of the credit for pushing the agenda 

-snip-
Like but you need to integrate the Dark D...

No no no.

Make the Darkcoin D, a mirror C, by removing the vertical line in the D

Just remember to give me some slack in a few weeks time when I start spamming the thread. I will warn you in advance, its for a good reason and one that will eventually benefit Dash. It just won't be that obvious at first.

Wow coins, such intrigue.
Do we get a hint of your plans?

   looks like "DRSH" 

-onetime

I don't see the R but I wouldn't mind if they closed the line off in the A.  It might even look better because the D is already so stylized...

The A, styled in this fashion, sports a little C in the white part of it. This is a subtle subliminal message that DASH is "Cash". Subliminal messages can be quite powerful, so that's why I've been advocating keeping it.

the subliminal "C" is NOT worth making the word illegible. this is important. people need to look at it and see DASH, not DRSH.

Now it looks like R.
On the other hand, if we wanted "hidden C " it had to be incorporated (somehow) into D so to be read as "cash"

I agree. With a small white "C" inside the large "A" of DASH I don't see "CASH" at all. Maybe if the "A" were inside the "C" instead. I think it's fine just being able to play with the "D" at the front.

DASH is decentralised, anything can happen

As always, excuse my terrible lack of artistry, but here's an idea I once mentioned to play with the "c":


Maybe someone could make a gif out of this (with correct font and colors of course) just to see how it looks.

Like jokes, if you have to explain them, well, err.....maybe it ain't so obvious or funny

It would be a simple animation when done, no explanation needed. I'm just incapable to create it, so that's not the "joke", only the blueprint of it.

I see where you are coming from.

The first question you need to ask yourself is does this message translate on different background colour schemes?  

When Dash goes mainstream, it will need to be used by all sorts of businesses and the branding will have to fit around all sorts of scenarios. It probably would work, but, secondly, is an animation always going to be used?

big respect for enthusiasm to the cause

I think you're blowing this a little bit out of proportion: We all agree that "Dash" stands for "Digital Cash", don't we?
I was simply suggesting an idea on how to illustrate how the name "Dash" came about and this animation could be used on websites and informational videos/news spots (even commercials maybe). I'm not thinking big business and world domination here.

Never posted in here before but I agree with you on this one - the A as it currently is detracts from what's been done with the D (less impact)

The new name is absolute genius though

[Propulsion]

The logo looks better with a full "A".

Welcome to a few days ago

I like the other one, it's like a "C" in the "A" ---> "DCASH"

P.S. For me it doesn't look like a R. But hey someone used to see a duck in the old logo  ...

One thing is for sure, the branding discussions will remain with us for a long time yet

I see nothing wrong in accepting these guys have right. It looks better if "A" is clearly defined. No one's crown would fall if this tiniest of all tweaks would be done...

Looks like bitcoinwisdom has the Litecoin section back.

They still do not have DRK->DASH.
