[ANN][KARM] Karmacoin - New Initiatives - Helping People Do Good

[bitwho]

Hi guys. i tried to warn you. it didn't look like a natural pump. it was a manipulation. some one tried to pump it up. but since there was a lot of coin holders i got dragged down to a stable 4 satoshis. then slowly the mine-and-pump pools kept selling while the rest hold.

do not stress out if you bought at 5-6-7 and defenitely do not panic sell. hold tight. in few blocks the halving will come. soon this stable wall will be at 4-5 satoshis. not lower. Even if mining pools jump it will take them a long time to mine coins efficiently. I believe there will be an other spike and then drop once more before the final and actual pump that will take us at 10 satoshis or higher.

everyday this coins shows stability the more new people get involved. Do not forget that this coin is also very , very young. it has not matured yet and it keep reaching 8-10 satoshis. look at the trading vollume. i believe that this coin will be the next dogecoin when it comes to exploding to over 100 satoshis. but it wont happen today or this week. what ever you do. do not sell or buy more then you can afford.

i'm running two different giveaway that are posted on main OP. Help spread the news. re-tweet and fb post. let everyone you know to come and take a slice of this pie

WOW BEST ONE! Thank you!

[MuffinMaster]

really liking the 1st one in the pic of 9, but lose the KARM and keep it clean

Add a K with 2 lines down the middle to the side or something.

[racejs]

Yes, this is the best one imho. Simple, pleasant to look at, looks friendly and calm, but solid in the same time!

Thank you woe great work and time involved!

As someone with years of marketing experience working for the biggest ad agency in the world, I would suggest staying away from symbolism like a dharma wheel.

A white elephant outline is neutral, and would work much better (as a brand) than something that means different things to different people (and would cause many others to become indifferent to Karmacoin).

i.e., come up with something new. The elephant is good. Just make it outstanding and emotionally appealing.

The simpler the logo the better. If I was to design it, I would do something completely different. A blue and red logo like the old Pepsi logo but leaning towards a horizontal yin-yang and getting rid of the dots. Also, there's no need to put "Karmacoin" on the logo. (Such is the sign of an amateur.) The text can go next to it, on the right side.

This makes for a familiar symbol but still something new. Thing big picture and long term. As in, what symbol would make a 9 year-old in the Kenyan highlands smile when they see it just as well as an adult in Shoreditch?

Nevermind what you like. The question is, what would most of your potential users like?

A good logo could mean the difference between success and failure of a company (or coin). (But again, it's not what you think is good...)

its funny how you say that karmacoin should stay away from symbolism and then point to the pepsi logo (which is nothing more than a cheap knockoff of yinyang with the colors changed) as a good example.. lol
yinyang is a religious symbol used in both Daoism and Confucianism.. it also represents a balance of forces (light, dark, good, evil, man, woman etc) which is at odds with the Karma coin motto of "doing good is good" lol

please do not mix Karma with Dao they are completely different ideas and messages
it would be like calling your Coin the RepublicCoin and then using a Crown as your logo or having Easter coin with a picture of a Dog on it.

I agree simplicity is good and I agree that the elephant should stay.. having a mascot will help the cause.. so we should keep the message simple and NOT try to confuse people by mixing symbolism and ideologies.

Well aware. I used to teach Tao te Ching in China (where I live now).

I was suggesting coming up with a new symbol that seems familiar rather than "symbolism like a dharma wheel". No need to be technical about the origins of the Pepsi logo or doing something similar. we're going for emotional appeal, not relating the logo to history. I always go what has worked in some way for others. (Only the world's first logo was an original)

How about a black/white elephant? (An elephant head with the left side black and right side white, for example?)

I respectfully disagree. I majored in Marketing as part of my Commerce degree. I simply don't understand how an elephant, yet alone the Ying and Yang symbol (not even remotely connected with Karma guys) is a better option than a Dharma Wheel. If anyone has done Religious Studies at University or perhaps even studdied Buddhism or Hinduism you will know about Dharma and Karma - it makes perfect sense to have the dharma wheel on the logo for a coin called KARMA, it makes no sense to have a monochrome elephant or something equally unrelated and bland.

We are showing ourselves to be massively ignorant by putting Yin Yang on the KARMA coin and a cute looking elephant simply means nothing to anyone. Remember folks, 25% of the worlds population is either Hindu or Buddhist - the Dharma wheel means something to these people and they will appreciate a coin that uses the name KARMA being informed enough to include the dharma wheel on its logo. It means nothing to the rest of us and that's fine, but there is absolutely no downside to being intelligent and using a symbol that is relevant and makes perfect sense.

Those who don't know the in's and out's of Karma and Dharma only need to like the look of the logo, it is far more pleasing to look at than a black and white elephant or a squiggle jotted down that may or may not look like an elephant - that once again has nothing to do with Karma in the slightest.

Anyone who doesn't 'approve' of said religious connotations will stop at the name KARMA coin - they won't give a shit about the logo, their mind will be made up already. These people are few and far between and we need not pay them any mind.

Let's see what everyone else thinks however, this is a decision that needs to be made by the community - if it does come down to a vote however it needs to be done whereby you get 1 initial vote and then an extra vote for every 1 million coins you hold - as verified by a screenshot included in the post. This is a business decision and those with huge stocks of KARMA must have a proportionately larger say than those with nothing or next to nothing as it is their money that is on the line.

OMG, 3 satoshi started to flow. What is in people minds? Now I absolutely regret buying at 6 sats. But I am still holding. I believe, this coin have bright future. Elephant deserves it.

ATTENTION ALL DEBATING THE KARMACOIN LOGO!!!!

If there is going to be a symbol on Karmacoin then there is only one choice. I cannot believe that no one has mentioned this one yet. It is so blatantly obvious that once I write it and you then research the meaning you have no choice but to agree. The symbol is the LOTUS FLOWER. Do some research and you will see. Please someone make a coin with the Lotus Flower on it for us to see. All of you debating what should be on the coin research the Lotus Flowers meaning in reference to Karma. It is a beautiful flower in and of itself and it's relationship to Karma is undeniable.

Donations gladly accepted:

Someone is trying to push the price down to buy more coins at 3 sats. It is obvious if you look at the orders flowing through. Little tiny orders for 3 trying to make it look like it is the new market price. Sure there may be some weak hands panicking and selling to them at 3 but that is just what they want. Don't fall for this trick and be patient. The price will go up over time especially if weak hands stop giving away their coins. There are great things coming our way. Hold your coins or demand more form them as they are worth more.

As requested, the lotus flower...

This happens because coinmarket.io is paused and all the prices there are low .... I guess someone knows about arbitrage and how it works and wants to be the only one who buys from coinmarket.io !

Nice first try but I think it needs to look more like an actual Lotus Flower. Keep it simple though. Nothing too complicated.

And get rid of the KARM words. A simple K styled money signia , the full KARMA wording or nothing at all.

Did you even research what the Lotus Flower and Karma mean? Elephants really have very little to do with Karma except they are both linked to India. Nothing wrong with liking elephants though.

Hows this?

doesnt matter what karma symbols mean..... for me! Elephant was original symbol of Karmacoin, so i think it should stay! Elephant is good sign and you can use everething for karma, nobody say what is right and what is wrong, alone to say this is wrong this is right is FALSE if you belive/understanding Karma!

A little cleaner version...
