What text do you think is better Vires In Numeris Strength In Numbers In Cryptography We Trust The People's Currency No Banks, No Borders or.. bitcoin.org or.. a combination? I like this. Good job. WHAT IF you put a few of those quotes in the background written in 7 bit binary ASCII. Just a thought 'cuz I really like them quotes.

What text do you think is better
Vires In Numeris Strength In Numbers In Cryptography We Trust The People's Currency No Banks, No Borders
or.. bitcoin.org
or.. a combination? "In cryptography we trust" The rest has the following issues: Vires In Numeris - I don't know what it means when I look at it. It reminds me of Latin religious quotes. Strength In Numbers - Sounds like a worker's revolution. While Bitcoin is a bit of that, I don't think we should focus solely on that. The People's Currency - Like the people's republic of China? Better not. No Banks, No Borders - Hmm. This is okay. Bit bland, maybe. or.. bitcoin.org - This can be on there, but not just this. Most people won't visit the website then. You need some message.

"In cryptography we trust" definitely is the broadest most agreed upon general statement about Bitcoin. I like the ASCII idea, you could also do binary?

I'm gonna blow my nerd cred on this but, isn't ASCII encoding in binary generally at 8 bits per character?

Generally, yes, but there are other encodings, inluding 7-bit encoding.

Generally, yes, but there are other encodings, inluding 7-bit encoding. I only suggested 7 bit so more quotes could be included, but I'm sure there's other option of more text is desired. I really like the "no banks, no borders" as well. I think it would be nice to see 'em both.

I like the second one. Maybe make the coin like half the size? Should it be covering up the whole flag?

I just like the idea of having something cryptic that needs some explaining. It makes it more interesting to share with people. Very good job BTW. If that was the final version I would still be happy with it.

Sweet! If this were in production as a real flag, I would buy it! The black background is great because it gives it a slight "pirate" aspect that associates it with black markets, etc. This is my favorite thus far, only maybe more of a gold color/gradient for the btc maybe and a bit smaller might be nice.

I also changed the O's in the bitcoin.org to match the zero's in the binary, looks better than the rhombus-looking o's.

It definitely needs an outline. I like the stroke outline better than the glow. The no banks no borders works well. So, I'd go with flag 9

Thats a great wallpaper! Saving! Love this one thanks Yankee!! it was just a quick mockup on the flag pole, i noticed a couple blems where some white lines were showing somehow, looks like photoshop did some minor tearing but i got some good ideas to expand the flag pole thing If nothing really awesomer comes in at this point (sparkly rainbows and butterflies flag) then I think mc_lovin wins awesome!! you have no idea how PROUD I am to have designed the bitcoin flag!! I will up/downscale it to whatever dimensions req'd and provide the .psd for it as well! and it will be released as public domain rights/free usage!

For the record, I didn't organize the contest. Sorry for giving that impression… But I do think that's the general sentiment here. Edit: If you don't win the contest, I'll throw you a bitcoin
