Deleted, sorry, deadline passed.

I would also like to see designs not based on letters, but the ideas of interconnectivity, trust, partnership, interlinking. There are two sides to every trade. We're embossing data on the blockchain cryptographically.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say no more circles. I do not want a coin logo.
I'm looking for a motif of some kind which can scale down to 16x16, and act as a logo. I would like the words ClearingHouse as part of the final logo but such that it can be cropped off. This will give a dual purpose symbol - as logo and as a currency emblem for exchanges etc.

I think I'm pretty close to that then.
Maybe I'll submit a different one later if I come across something cool in my mind.

So here are some examples of emblems.  Some good, some clever, some just emblems.  

A lot of people are inclined to do round logos that have the C and H incorporated into them.  Geometrically, trying to use the C and H with the X just doesn't seem like it has a chance of working.  It's probably just best to try to create an image with just the X (to convey exchange), and focus on a good type font and color for the word ClearingHouse.  But that's just my opinion.  

I did notice when the Facebook Exchange emblem is turned 90 degrees it distinctly looks like a house (a clearing house!) and an X.  Maybe some of you can explore this direction?

Updated my last submission and I've tried to incorporate the house into the X, think if the house symbol is too prominent it might end up looking like some sort of real estate logo.

Sorry, no offence, but it kind of reminds me a swastika and gives me the creeps.

Heil thermost!! 

No offence taken, certainly wasn't intentional though there is a vague resemblance I suppose.

Slight variation of the logo in a more "traditional" coin composition, but still very clean.

This is the best to me.Simple but looks warm!

Had a few more ideas for the logo, will update this post with some more submissions soon, thanks.

So after yesterday's pointers I decided to have another go at it.
Basically the logo is a "C"-like structure that is housing the 4 dots. The dots aren't visually connected, but in your mind you can link them (even making an X); and that's what they represent: connectivity.
In case you miss it: the 16x16 icon is at the bottom of the image.

PS: I think I still like my first one better.

Nice, a bit phallic but nice

Like the simplicity of this one.

So far liking spofas' & thermost's attempts. Almost there. Keep it up guys.

Watchout, attaching an ugly logo to this project, and that will be the biggest mistake and the end in the same time.

Got few coming up tomorrow... black and white versions ready... Do you have any preferences for color scheme?
