ORA:: Logo submission & discussion thread

[Pentamon]

The reason I like this, is that it seems to be hand drawn, yet very accurate. Amazing.
Welcome, at this late hour, crz!

I was going to reply to a couple of posts from earlier pages, and just caught up to the end of this thread (so far).

Before I respond to posts, I just wanted to say that I am truly amazed at the skill floating around here!  I can't remember the last time I felt like posting a positive comment on design, in any forum.  I guess what I'm trying to say is I don't give out unwarranted compliments, to gain favour or for any other "falsetto" reason.

I've seen a number of coins and their logo contests.  These entries decimate them all.  Normally you see a lot of designs that make you go "meh".  Not so with the Ora entries.  The "meh"'s here are few and far between.

my compliments!

Welcome, maximuss,

I like it. The Ora font, looks a little like a key, is interesting as well.
I wonder about a 'blow-up' of that part, with the O bigger?

Pentamon

Thanks Pentamon, I've updated and enlarged the ora part of the design with a bigger O:

Thank you, maximuss, that was quick!

I do see a key - the cryptographic Ora key.
Am I the only one?

Pentamon

No, but I see a different "key".  Look at how the R and the A in "Ora" create an "s" in the negative space.  That gives us RSA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_%28cryptosystem%29).  Your key makes a more subtle statement.  The double entendre warms my nerdy little heart.

kind regards,

Lot of nice logoes, look great! It will be difficult to choose.
Maybe these articles can help to choose.

I am going to watch with interest which three you vote for, kussaka  

Pentamon

I vote so ... Forgive me Gvans and Maximuss.
Both logos are perfect, but I could not resist  to combine them together.






And vote to my second version of the logo.
I combined my logo with a model site for example, to show features of it and the point it between strong competitors.

You may be the first person to implement something I suggested (it may have been in a pm to the team), which is to have the logo designerS also submit complementary website styles and designs.  Nothing in the web process is set in stone.  Even if I end up undoing the work I've already done, we are trying to get the best site possible.

Everyone feel free to submit additional holistic designs such as this, that incorporate web assets that "finish" your logo submissions.  That is not part of the contest, by the way.  I personally would like to see your respective marketing visions, because you have all done such a great job on logo design!

Interesting "catch" nio

First draft version(s),

Cheers!

Just plain classy. Great work.

[Mac Red]

I think it'd be a good idea to connect this to the forum:
http://oraforum.org/index.php?board=5.0

Perhaps also create a topic there with all entries in the OP for easy overview? IMO all color & size variations should be included. Up for it Pentamon?

cough, cough, Yes Mac Red, that is what we should do 

We have the prezi, but our own archive on the Ora forum is definitely something that we want to take with into the furure.

Wow, voting for this was very hard indeed!

I want to thank EVERYONE who submitted a logo, they are ALL fantastic! Thank you so much for getting into the 'spirit' of things, and thanks to Pentamon for making the 'Logo thread' very welcoming & enjoyable

Here is my vote

Thank you for voting, Kora!

This is a good time for all to consider these beautiful designs, and make a choice.

[fragORA]

Updated my vote and had to drop my own design. I will be away for the counting of votes so GL to everyone that took part.

[Yuzu]

I'm changing my vote somewhat.  It was extremely difficult to narrow it down to three, as there were so many worthy designs.  Here are my final choices.

Thank you for voting, and being so ruthless on yourselves, fragORA !

Enjoy the time off, when you are back, we have voted...

Here is an archival listing of all the logo designs, for your perusal, in our own Ora forum: http://oraforum.org/index.php?topic=36.0


We will keep voting on the bitcointalk thread.

Hi Pentamon,

Updated my vote. I guess this will be my final vote. Although i would like to see my Vote 1 and Vote 2 merged together for the change of fonts in image 1.

(..... snipped)

Do you mean like this rough cobbled together concept?



Maybe kussaka has still some energy left to try this?
Thanks to maximuss  we know that the font is fair game.

[kussaka]

OK
