ORA:: Logo submission & discussion thread

[DarkhorseofNxt]

What do you think? Does it look nice, the first blue version of yours.

[kussaka]

And my ORA-KEY version in different colors:
(it is not a font)

What do you think? Does it look nice, the first blue version of yours.

Thank you .  I like blue color,  it's universal corporate color and suitable for Ora-Key's versions.   Previous versions logo -Ora-Starfish-  need in warm (coral's) colors, I think.

[Mac Red]

OK
       





       




looks like  mechanical key  

Oooh. Very nice and clean.

[DarkhorseofNxt]

@ Kussaka,

Dont shade the "Ora". Keep it white or blue with white outline. What happens if you make the "O" shape same as the your other hexagonal shape? (With cuts in between)

We are coming very close my friend.

Try cutting the bottom right tip of the a on ora to the same degree as the hexagon.  /

№1

I begined with so shape for "O", but result looks like not enough solid/single image for the logo, I think..  and competes the other hexagonal shape.

№2

№3

№2 and №3 key-logo looks better as alone so and with other hexagonal shape, I think.

Try cutting the bottom right tip of the a on ora to the same degree as the hexagon.  /

Ok. Good idea!

[DarkhorseofNxt]

I like this very much.  

№3

Here's a catch phrase for you. Instead of "Open possibilities", how about "Unlocking Possibilities" ? It gives a connection to the Ora Key.

Nice designs guys, I know the submission date has passed but I thought I'd post up one of my earlier canned designs rather than just delete it. Good luck to everyone who's entered.

I will go with this one. Logo is cool, If you could try this with different color that would be great.

Vote No.1.

wow... oh how I like this!
Logo and catch phrases.

Kussaka, you realize that chances are high that the Ora team may want to keep hold of you in the future for unlocking more possibilities? 

As much as I like this process, as we seem to come get better as we go along,  we should keep our deadline for the process: the end of this week!

It is good that voting has started in earnest.
Darkhorse, don't worry about updating your vote again -- it is all good.

This one looks great.

[gvans]

Wow, losts of new stuff here. Good new stuff.

I will just get quickly back to the combined proposal where my square starfish version was used. If there will be further development with that starfish+ ora-key combination I would suggest using the rectangular starfish as negative like this



as the original idea of the square logo was to have infinite lenght fir the legs of the fish (blenfing to background), so should the starfish blend to the key rather that be just a picture laid on top of the key.




However the key is at it's best in it's original form in my opinion with pure "transformers" style, hard angles etc, whereas my starfish is softer with free arches and does not really meet the formal language of the key itself.

I'd like to emphasize once more the essence of the logo. It has to function on it's own without supporting graphics. I don't intent to undermine the great designs done for additional graphics here, but just to remind you not to be blinded and dazzled by them too much

this is not a logo:



this is a logo:



this is not a logo:

this barely might be:


but actually this is the version of this design that really does work in small scale too:



etc.etc.

Again, they all look great, with and without additional graphics and I like them all, but just something to think about when choosing the final one.

You are correct.

Thank you, gvans, you point out something that has tugged at my mind for a while: What is, strictly speaking, a logo?  Just a glyph, or could it be a few letters, or even a font?  And with that: are we looking for a logo, or the bigger picture, a clearly identifiable identity?  How important is the recognition at the 'artificial' 16x16 pixel level on Coincap and exchanges?

It is also true that a bigger surface has that certain 'wow' factor. Look at the M.C. Escher-like pattern that kussaka's basic hexagon makes. I feel like looking into a beehive, or a fragment of the order that Ora radiates. (or could radiate)

How do you think - should we exclude all those designs that do not meet the strict criteria?
Or should we just encourage people to think of a simple, stand-alone design?

My personal approach is to let all designs stand as they are, but to definitely consider simplicity during voting.
Easy recognizable, is good.
Simple is good.
Full of meaning, is good.
