We would have that company or man (or woman. Please don't be sexist. We have just as much to contribute to this game as much as men do) would probably benefit from investing in this currency if they knew about it, and were enticed into it with the right appearance. If I were a rich wealthy person that wanted to get even more rich, I would overlook a currency with a logo that looks like money designed in a video game. Using a serious color is just what we need. That and obvious larger scales of advertisement but we cannot spend millions of dollars to be placed on a platform for the 7 billion people watching us for them to just ignore our wonderful currency just because we wore orange, and not gold.
It is shallow, but looks do matter
HA! Do you know what events predetermined you even being here, or anyone else for that matter ? It wasn't a shiny logo, or a catchy phraze; it was a service that people wanted/needed.
To those people that pushed bitcoin into state of movement,hype and awareness, things like icon,logo and similar might have been a di*k (or a tw*t, not to be sexist) they wouldn't break a sweat over it.
You can set up a site and place whatever image you want for bitcoin, use sparkling efect,polka dots.. No one is stopping you. After all, bitcoin's main point is decentralization, everyone's vote counts.
Whatever sails your boat, but imho, it's not the picture that counts.
You'd be surprised how many wealthy people are very very shallow. Question: how did you manage to mess up the quoting?
