That's a great idea, I'll create some with that as well. Any other suggestions?

Maybe "crypto" instead of cryptography. The latter makes the phrase a bit clunky.

I'm not really sure what an EPS style is, so I'm not sure what options would be optimal, and I couldn't upload it as an image. Photoshop did have an option to save it as an EPS though, so I uploaded it here: http://www.2shared.com/file/oXdn4aXn/bitcoin.html

i can make a SVG version Smiley

Made some changes to the coin. I personally like the science version best. Keep the suggestions coming. I added another wallpaper design to illustrate the symbolic expansion of the currency. Enjoy!

"in Science we trust"? maybe the religious people will see this with bad eyes :-|
better keep the "In Bitcoin we trust"

Personally, I think that "In math we trust" would be better than "In cryptography we trust", since more people would understand that.

However, I think the whole "In xxx we trust" is a bad idea from a PR perspective, since whatever the xxx, it is obviously replacing "God".  That will leave a bad taste in the mouths of very many people.  Many fundamentalists would probably end up swearing off bitcoin for no other reason.

There was actually a discussion about creating a bitcoin motto a while back in a very similar thread to this one:

http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=6455.20

My favorite suggestion from that thread is:

Iunctum in Divortium (Unity in Division)

For a non-religious motto, how about a variation of "E Pluribus Unum" (Out of Many, One)? The English translation could be something like "Out of Many, Money" (which has a nice ring to it I think). I'm no Latin expert, but Google Translate tells me that "E Pluribus Pecunia" translates to English as "Out of Many, the Money."

EDIT: More playing with Google Translate suggests that "E Pluribus Pecuniam" may be more accurate.

Agreed. It also makes it seem too American.

bytepimp, since everyone else is making requests, can I make one more:

Simply replace the motto with 'Bitcoin' in exactly the same size and font as where it says Bitcoin on the top half.

Yes of course you may. I have no personal attachment to any "phrase" or symbols used on the coin design. I'm happy to help the cause. Keep the suggestions coming.

If we're throwing around Latin mottos, "Vires in Cryptographia" = "Strength in Cryptography".  (c.f. "Vires in Numeris" = "Strength in Numbers".)

"Vires in Numeris" = "Strength in Numbers" is appealing the most to me. It is simple and works on more than one level at the same time.

1) There was this good slogan "Liberty starts with free money". How about it?

2) Coins usually have reeded or milled edge. This one looks like a gilded hockey puck Smiley

Indeed it does. Oh well, it's free! Take it or leave it. :-) Besides, aren't we re-defining the concept of a coin anyway? It's just fancy eye candy. Enjoy!

I agree. I like "Liberty starts with free money" too, but this one is shorter and indeed has multiple meanings Smiley


"Free money" has a good and bad meaning imo. "Strength in numbers" is awesome.

I really like your graphics, bytepimp! If you have time, could you do one without the 2 circles on the coin next to the 'B'? The ones with 'b' and 'c' in them?

I'm going to bed. Will continue working on some different variations tomorrow. Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks for the feedback!

Added a few more images here: http://carbonism.deviantart.com/

Thanks! Yes of course :-)

Here's a simplified coin. Great suggestion. Any others?

Just a front view of the coin without the background would be great.

Why in english language ?
It should be
強さの数字
or
數字的力量
