[Now Funded] Help build a better Bitcoin logo!

[occulta]

Looks nice but very "greek"

racist!

i like it, someone replace the pancake one with this to see what it looks like smaller, everything looks good large

Obviously the binary represents this: http://friendfeed.com/terrificclutter/5357ea4a

The submissions in this thread make me love the current logo. Seriously. The logo is fairly decent so if this is done it needs to be done Very Professionally. Otherwise don't do it at all.

Wise words

actually it looks better smaller imo. use it if you want.

The one outlined in red is the idea, the two before show what I used to make it, while the two after are just some extras. You can make this one into a lot more things, it has a plus sign in it, it can look like a sword and shield, maybe a pipe, other stuff too. Also, it's pretty easy to write by hand. Another idea would just to be use the greek letter beta, and we can be like TAKING CURRENCY OUT OF BETA or something.

Maybe if the 'B' was transparent rather than white? (You can do this in a PNG file.) Otherwise, I like it!

It will be done very professionally. I'm actually getting a designer to come up with some teaser ideas.

What is this thread for then? Are you just hiring a designer and using pledges to pay for the design. Or are you looking for the best entry in the thread?

Thread was intended to be for ideas. He wants to crowdfund a new logo from professional graphic artists.

[goodlord666]

The thing is there won't ever be such a thing as an official Bitcoin logo. Every related project and business will come up with their own designs and just use the generally accepted "B" as the basic motif, I expect.

Funding one particular designer to make a logo is a waste of money.

I'd rather we called for a design competition and the winner by public vote gets the prize money and all other designs offered may be used freely by anyone.

[bitcats]

Good idea but i fear that we will be shocked with lots of weird and creepy designs.

I like that, it looks great, only thing I see is that the 'b' in the lower 2 color graphic doesn't have the same tail as the one above it.

Also, a brand must be complete. A logo is great to have, but a complete brand will include several logos for different print and screen applications, favicons that are clear and easy to distinguish, web-safe palettes for website use, a style handbook, and other supporting material and documentation.

Good eye!  Could not decide which version is better.

That works too, but IMHO the stereoscopic cut-out 'B' looks better.

I would complete the circle (earth) underneath

Im not poo-pooing the idea of a revised bitcoin logo, aren't we a little too far down the road now ? Wouldn't a new logo give the impression of a re-launch of sorts like bitcoin 2.0 ? I have used the Bitcoin logo in a few projects not directly related to bitcoin so I'm probably biased towards the current design, regardless I'll be interested to see what may materialise




The silver copper art rounds did ok ,but I never got the mobile mining rig past the prototype stage
