Sinbad.io Mixer - secure, fast and easy to use

[joker_josue]

In the avatar contest we were able to shortlisted 6 participants. We need to filter out and need to keep only two participants / two set of entries. We may consider your feedback in it too to filter it to two. Please let us know.

As I've commented before, I think Avatar should follow the line of the site, to build a brand that clearly identifies SINBAD. If avatars are used that do not follow the same graphic image of the site, it becomes more difficult to build that brand. But, this is of course just my opinion.

That said, and looking only at the six options chosen, I would say that the one closest to my opinion is this one:

@Icalical's 3rd entry is my best pick of all his entries, it's an affront to the current avatar schemes so I like something refreshing to look at although I hope he can sharpen the colors a bit or balance the background and the text

@PX-Z 1st entry is my best pick of all his entries, the one bit vibes is awesome, the pirate theme is strong especially with the worn out flag design.

@xLays have the same feels as my pick on PX-Z entry, although I would like more changes since it's almost the same as the current avatar.

I don't feel like picking any from @tjtonmoy's entry, the 1st entry is similar vibes to the current avatar but the color scheme of neon seems not in the direction of the brand.

@SamReomo's 2nd entry is my kind of style although I would love it if the Jolly Roger is a bit bigger than the lock and utilize the negative spaces more or at least lessen it.

@cafter's 2nd and 3rd entry is my pick, the 2nd has the simplistic design but still slick looking, good color scheme too although I don't know if that's fine with the brand, 3rd entry looks like your typical campaign avatar, can never go wrong with that.

If I were to have a Top 3 I would probably go 1st with @cafter's 3rd entry, SamReomo's @2nd entry would be the 2nd, and @PX-Z's 1st entry would be my 3rd.

To all the participants who have done the best design, I want to say that you have extraordinary artistry. I really appreciate the sinbad.io avatar designs you made, including @icalical.

Of all the entries, there are two avatar entries that I like in this contest which were made by bitmover and xLays, although bitmover was not included in the list of shortlisted participants. Of course I have a different review of the two.

1. Design courtesy of bitmover (picture number 3)


https://talkimg.com/images/2023/08/07/GkMJm.png
Overall good in my opinion. The logo looks lively, but a little long.


2. Design courtesy of xLays. (picture number 2)


https://talkimg.com/images/2023/08/15/MUb3H.png
It's almost perfect because when combined with the update of the sinbad.io website, the avatar created by xLays really blends in.
It would be even more perfect if the logo was placed in the middle position above the writing sinbad.io

Conclusion.
If I'm in the team as the party that has the decision to require an avatar without a background, I will choose this avatar with the note that Bitmover's avatar must remove the background.
If the team agrees in assessing the avatar without any specific provisions, then my choice is the xLays avatar with a note that the logo is moved to the middle position above the words SINBAD.IO

I like Woodies first entry as i have said earlier, but i see they didn't make the cut for the 6 shortlisted participants, so in that case my next choice would be that of PX-Z, i see that their first design is marked in a red square, so that's the one you are considering, it is a nice and unique design which i think would be a fit for this project.

If i am to make a second choice, it is will Icalical's design, i see that two of theirs is marked in a red square, i will go for the second entry, i love the design as it is something different from the usual avatar designs we see on the forum. These are my personal feedbacks, goodluck to everyone.

[bitmover]

My vote goes for SamReomo first entry. I believe this is the best one, beautiful colors and certainly an avatar I would enjoy wearing.

Congratulations for all who made to the finals 👏

[tjtonmoy]

I pick this from cafter



The reason why I choose this: Pretty clean-looking avatar IMO. While it clearly represents the brand, it also keeps it minimal and eye-catching. One glance and you know what you are looking at. Interesting concept. 

This one from PX-Z



The reason why I choose this: The design itself is very interesting. Pixels coming together to make up the whole thing. If I get a chance to do something with it, I will keep the SINBAD.IO, remove the extra words and make the logo a bit bigger so that it is more clear. Overall, this is a great design.

If I were to pick one from mine, then this would be the one



The reason why I choose this: I don't know if it's ok to vote one from my entry. But I guess this one is good. This is just my opinion. Your key , your coin, and Sinbad.io is protecting your privacy. That's why the key and lock. Not good enough to be the 1st or 2nd so I will keep it in 3rd.

[These are just my own picks. The team can decide what they like the most.]

I picked this one among the others because the logo and image appear to be some sort of code combination, and only the designer knows how many code combinations were added together in order to get the full image arranged that way. Looking at the image alone will leave you, the viewer, with some sort of idea of how it was done, keeping the entire process secret and anonymous. Which is also what the mixer is all about: to mix your coin and give you a totally different thing that can't be linked to your old address. I see the image as the perfect one for Sinbad, among other collections.

A pirate flag

I could have voted for the first entry as it almost has the same criteria as my first choice, but the write-up "Protecting your privacy" appears unnecessary to me as we already have that on the signature code.
So I will go with the second entry, as it appears simple but unique to me.

[xLays]

I made an effort to quote the entries that qualified for the final winner based on Royse post here. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
I noticed that someone from the signature campaign participants chose an entry that Royse didn't include here.

I've got two choices, since you want to breakdown the participants into too so here's what I think.

I like PX-Z's design but I like most the blue design of his.

And for the 2nd pick of mine, I like tjtonmoy's 2nd entry and that is because it seems colorful for me and that's like a bright design.

Good luck everyone, all of you are good designers. You're giving Royse an headache to pick the best designs.

The shortlisted entries we are considering:
icalical : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5462254.msg62694351#msg62694351 (1 and 2, from the set: https://i.ibb.co/mcFM91X/1.png)

Will go for avatar 2>>> The scroll 📜  design is a must have as it has that pirate touch to it..which kind of goes with the theme of Sinbad.

PX-Z: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5462254.msg62700517#msg62700517 (1, from the set: https://i.ibb.co/BCBXqNB/Screenshot-2.png)

#1 certainly has that upgrade touch of the first avatar flag we had when we had the old brand and I think this maintains the brand idea by design, and in the spirit
of continuity I love it  

Goodluck @icalical  @PX-Z

Definitely eye catching and if its for the purpose of marketing , this another to consider

**with a highlight of a bright color to the skull, this should be a master piece**
Edit, change of heart

Most of the entries are outstanding and I guess it will be difficult to even select the final six entries. I wish we would just choose our best as personal avatars. Nevertheless, my first choice is SamReomo's design because his work is unique and the name of the service came out bold and clear. I also liked the way he placed the objects in the avatar.
https://i.ibb.co/kHbTFVh/SInbad-io-3.png

And cafter's' work will be my second option because of his creative use of colors and also the clarity of Sinbad.io. He came up with something different from the rampant black-and-white color.

@Nwada001 it will be of great help if you added another entry to the vote as the podium is for 2 spots and you gave only one

So far, ignoring the ones that's voted outside the limitations [e.g.: user X's entry number 1 though what's asked is number 2 and 3 and taking the first two being mentioned for the case of someone who voted more than two], the votes go like this:

holydarkness: icalical, PX-Z
Trofo: PX-Z
xLays: xLays [well... kinda]
Pmalek: cafter, xLays
joker_josue: xLays
Latviand: cafter, SamReomo, PX-Z

Z-tight: PX-Z, icalical
bitmover: SamReomo's first entry
tjtonmoy: cafter, PX-Z, tjtonmoy
Nwada001: PX-Z, icalical
bullrun2020bro: cafter, SamReomo
bhadz: PX-Z [though he technically voted the "blue design"], tjtonmoy's second entry

@Nwada001 it will be of great help if you added another entry to the vote as the podium is for 2 spots and you gave only one  

Yea, I missed part of this voting. As I taught, we are just entitled to any amount of vote. I could have just edited my entry and added my second choice, but the counting has already been done, so I doubt if it will be counted as a valid vote again.

Edit: I have edited and added my second choice as it appears that a recount will still be done and it will be considered valid.

[cafter]

you can decide the second winner by this method (because many members have 4 votes:
which member have more votes of different designs which is not listed by Royse777 on this post.

[examplens]

I already said earlier that my choice is avatars with a transparent background.
So, It would look like this
1. PX-Z pirate flag
2. icalical no 2 design

Do it, my tally is not the closing mark of the competition, it's just there simply because Royse asked for help and I happen to have a bit free time during my morning coffee. I am sure it's still open until Royse said so. I'll refect this edit as well as other entries that's posted after my recap through my own edit [I'll sweep through the votes once more after Royse officially close it].

Goodluck @icalical  @PX-Z

sorry royse777 I'm a bit late in voting, I really like the two avatar designs from @icalical & @PX-Z, the designs of both are very unique and creative, can the prizes available be split in half for both LOL

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

An avatar is meant to be a pictorial representation of what a service offers, whereby any user with a glance at an avatar should be able to have a clue of what to expect from such a service. So in regards to this contest, I guess the rest participants were disqualified simply because they never used the logo owned by Sinbad Mixer, which we all know how copyright violation is a big offense in the online space.

However, here are my design picks, as I was able to rate them in order of my best choice to the least.

1st Choice

1.

2nd Choice

1.

3rd Choice

1.

NOTE: I was able to observe that the avatar designed by "xLays" and "tjtonmoy" are almost the same with the current Sinbad campaign avatar, and for a contest such as this, we should expect something new which represent Sinbad in a glance. However, I wish everyone best of luck.
