Thanks. I like your round logo.  Nice colors. It will look great on a black background, I think. |

You don't have to use a starfish if you don't want to, nothing is compulsory The starfish idea comes from a book "The Starfish and the Spider: The Unstoppable Power of Leaderless Organizations" Here's a good summary https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nJ3JCDI4yQIN2O09DW6qApRhPrQXDj9wsxY-3jduOAw/edit?hl=en#heading=h.3fv7a5-3ynikbThe ideas in the starfish & spider book are almost a training manual for people involved with crypto currencies (like us!!). I like the starfish concept for the Logo, but there's an infinite number of ways to express an idea in a Logo, so don't restrict yourself |

This needs a little (a lot of) work but you get the general idea.  |

How about these...  (second version snipped) Honest opinion. I like the freestyle starfish. Remove the coin. Thank you, shijilal, for the movement, the figure that agitates. I get a strong sense of a human/starfish, although the double lines confuse me a little, and might not scale well to a small version. Do you want to 'simplify' it a little? I also would leave out the surrounding 'coin' additions. Pentamon |

Wow! Professional! Sometimes the simplest designs are the strongest. It really scales well: an "O"! I find myself looking for meanings and associations. I am drawn to the divided outer elements. The angled cuts make me wonder: is it related to the Qora "Q" ? - no, that's not it. The outer elements could be a pair of hands, holding the "O". But no, it is more abstract. I despair a little. I have seen buildings and furniture like this, and it can easily feel clinical and cold. I am encouraged by the colours, though, they feel warmer, more friendly. Am I the only one who thinks these thoughts? Let me know what you think. Thank you, dawj20, by the way, for your participation. I think this is a very polished design. Pentamon |

It is nearly a shame that we want to lock into one logo. Why can't we have rotating logos, to indicate the constant evolving and changing nature of this starfish organization? Maybe to reflex the different 'rays' or 'legs' that each have their own local brain, we should have multiple logos for Ora, (including an Irishized version). Sorry, just a little lateral thinking incontinence, ignore it. Back to fragORA's concept: Leaves! yes. How about one big leaf? I kind of see a 'D' in there, somehow, making me wonder: What is the importance of the stem coming down where the ORA letters are? I would leave these letters out, btw. Let the logo speak for itself, do you agree? How about a spiral on the outside, leading to a leaf in the inside? Growth, green, new, life. Pentamon |

To me, the round one is better than the oval one. Definitely a possibility - just a single 'O' - nice a simple. I agree with kussaka that different colours might be helpful. I have to say that I think the multiple rings and the aura around and shades are distracting. How about adding a texture, rather? Here is an idea: Try to make it like an 'O' out of rope. Yes, take the NXT 'rope' texture and bend it into a circle. Anyone? Pentamon |

Hi kossaka,
Thank you for a nice design. I like the twisty nature, and the little detail circles on the starfish arms, or legs.
In the meantime - this is a moving target - it would appear that the name is going to be Ora.
Could you give us a small version to see how it would do, the logo only without the (very nice) font next to it?
Have you experimented with other colors?
Pentamon
Ok (some lovely images removed)  (more lovely images left out) Thanks, kussaka! What a strong design. Definitely a star fish. No mistaking it for anything else. I can even see the sand, the spade and the bucket that go with it. So that would be the strength and the downside: no seeing a person or gears in there. It is not vague enough for that. Even the "O" inside the starfish, or the mouth is smallish. So what we have to decide: do we want to have a Rohrschach 'blob' that let's everyone have their own interpretation, or connection to it, or do we want to be very clear. Because this design is very clear. Again, this is just one opinion. Please comment. Pentamon |

Pentamon I wouldnt go with rotating logo as it will just cause confusion. The logo itself is meant to signify new growth, but I get your point that it shouldn't be coming from a "central" stem. (This is also a problem with the starfish imo)... So its back to the drawing board with the theme of many coming together and then growing. |
