Wow, Kora and Mac Red, you are generous bounty issuers!
Which reminds me, a note to all designers that did not send me their NXT address yet: please forward your address, that I can list them for Darkhorse. Watch out for the Ora assets in your NXT account.
Thanks for all the nice words, Kora. I am not sure that I had created the vibe in the thread, I just responded to an already existing vibe - that vibe that gives me hope about Ora.
I experienced some mourning for the designs that did not get selected for Ora.
(Hey, a smart copy-cat coin might just take over some of our designs)
So I decided to share with you, my tears in images:
To
BoubonicNugz, who posted only twice and then ignored any invitations to participate further: I find this design very recognizable, even through my tears...

To
kussaka, who participated a great deal, and followed up on all suggestions with great designs, of whom each one is great.

These are only examples, enough for you to get the idea.
I feel a little sad.
But life goes on, Ora has a logo, and it carries with it all the hopes of the others.
