You make it slowly and make sure the coin is good,I guess you doing well

[50cent_rapper]

Fixed.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked the logo, I also voted for #4.

I worked on the type, now we have unique logo, not just simple font. The last step is choosing colors.

Supercool. It reminds me Babylon 5 style. Coin of the future.

Hi dzarmush,

I'd just like to point out an error in your investor's list.  You made a mistake by placing my name on the wrong row.    I'm the guy who invested 1.3 BTC with txid: 1eaba4d2e8ab00fcfe72911ff1ffab8d74667ae10ac9d0b4af07e4da729527f7.  So my name should be placed one row above.

If you check the transaction,  you will see that my bitcointalk id is in the public note section. Please correct the error for me.  

Also, I just wanna thank you for the great work you've done for the logos. I personally voted for #4 and I think they're amazing!!  

It's great to have someone like you on board.  You're an excellent designer, and Qora is lucky to have you!  

Regards.  

I decided to save some time for Qura so he could focus on development, and spent my Saturday working on investors list. I'm not a part of Qora team, so it's not official and if you find a mistake with your stake don't send to Qora angry PM, send it me I'll fix it. Although somehow everything added up at the end.

If you don't see your name it's because I have no authority to connect investments with nicknames. I added some names which were part of transactions in public notes.

If you want to find yourself in the list, hit Ctrl+f and copy/paste your btc address or tx id.

Fixed.

Everything except the last 3 will be available at launch.
8 and 9 should take about a month to complete after launch depending on how things work out.

That's what I thought of. That's why I decided to go with shades of blue/purple. Qora sounds very futuristic to me.

I like the logo.

Sometimes, when something needs to be done and I'm exited about it. Don't do it for living though.

[dzarmush]

♥ Quorra ♥

Btw 

[dzarmush]

Another question - I'm just wondering whether the dev or anyone else has a plan for qora website?  Should we wait til release of the coin and set up bounties before talking about website development?

I'd say nothing keep us from website development. We can do something simple like Quark website and then improve it with time.

Here's a quick sketch. I used some parts from Quark website that need to be redone.

I intend to create blockexplorer soon after release.

The second is cool!

[nextgencoin]

Its funny but when I saw you say Qora sounds futuristic I was gonna suggest 'Tron' ing it up a bit. Not sure if it works as a logo though, 3D is rare in logos generally. I like the first better than the second...


I wonder if you could take the future element further using images and ideas from movies like 2001 and more recently Oblivion etc...


I kind of HAL from 2001 of coins.

Cool!

dzarmush you can make a wallpaper  for "Qora" fans!
We can set it up on the desktop.

Sure. It's not for logo, I'm just having fun ) As 50cent_rapper said it might be wallpapers or something like that.

I think we should make a website for qora now.
Do you think so ?

I posted a website sketch on the previous page. But I'm not very good at it, so I'm not sure it'll work for Qora. Alghough something is better than nothing.
