Option A ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.minus.com%2FibwmapP2kxtnCQ.png&t=665&c=T6xv6YsM9coebg) Option B ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.minus.com%2Fi9qvke9wOFPB8.png&t=665&c=f0xK_JgfT_rvlQ) Yes I am being intentionally obscure because I would prefer results based on your first visual reaction. For wasting your time I will give 1 BTC to a random person in this thread. Just post a reply after you vote. Be sure to post a reply as I can't see who voted. You don't have to pick the winning design to win so just vote based on your own personal first reaction. Thanks. On edit: To make the random drawing a little more fair I already used random number generator to generate a decimal between 0 & 1. I hashed it so that is can be verified after the fact but still remains unknown to anyone but me. SHA-256 hash of pre-generated random number: ADC24B56FCFF884B5DC63ACF28A890DC1E64399B760752C4FCEF7A96C099CDF3 Winner = ROUNDDOWN(pre-generated rand / # of posts in thread*) *excluding all my posts and any duplicates. Example: IF the pre-generated rand was 0.5225 and there are 14 unique replies. 0.5225 * 14 = 7.315 Winner is the 7th reply. Not the pre-generated rand isn't 0.5225 (but it could be 0.52251 ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ).

I picked the first one because it's more realistic.

Since there are more votes than posts as a reminder if you want a shot at the 1 BTC random drawing you also need to post in the thread.
This forum's software doesn't make visible voting possible. Grr.

I think Matt is Wright. At first I was thinking the blue one, but in orange. And why isn't there an orange option, you racist bastard? ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

Once I settle on a design I may have artist try a couple different colors. My wife told me to go with blue because it implies strength, security, establishment. I have no idea if that is true but it sounded good. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) You might find it interesting what "they" say about Orange http://www.logocritiques.com/resources/color_psychology_in_logo_design/

Your wife is very smart and her reasoning behind suggesting blue are very valid, but blue is not typically a color associated with cryptography or microchips. Might I recommend a touch of green? ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FSo5SU.jpg&t=665&c=zD_zl40bTk2nbQ)

Hmm. When I read your response I was like "green? I don't know" Then I saw your mock up and I got to say I like it. Also did you add some "texture" or was that already in the design and color just made it pop? If I end up using it I will throw you a bonus genuine Bitcoin (in equally good but used condition). On edit:. Looking at the A design, B design, and your modified "C" design I think maybe A is less popular simply because the grey on grey lacks some "pop" that the blue in B provided.

Don't pay me anything, please. I didn't even check to see if the image was released for Creative Commons sharing. I grabbed it from here http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_fFl015dzuoc/SNJ2G2ISmaI/AAAAAAAAAp0/mLUGxEEdrWA/s400/Circuitboard.png![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2F2.bp.blogspot.com%2F_fFl015dzuoc%2FSNJ2G2ISmaI%2FAAAAAAAAAp0%2FmLUGxEEdrWA%2Fs400%2FCircuitboard.png&t=665&c=2m4cqhWzTZoaEw) Then I changed the perspective, Dropped the opacity down to 48%, Erased the path over the T I am sure you can do better with some effort. Thanks though!

Well your call I wasn't intending to use that exact logo but it kinda pushed my thinking into a different direction and I find new ideas are always worth a Bitcoin. How about if I ever get this venture off the ground I will buy an ad in your magazine instead?

I choose option B, as it looks a tad bit better than option A. Have to agree though, it does look like there's water flowing off the edge. Better get your designer (or yourself) to fix that!

I would vote C. B is better because of the color. But the T appears deeply engraved which looks wrong on a chip. With design A it appears superposed on the chip, which makes a tad more sense. Id combine them, keep the color but make it look as its on top of the chip, not deeply engraved.
