Actually I'm going to say I really like the square blue logo. Looked at against the peer group of professional logos, it holds up well. It's somewhat outside of typical for coin logos, which tend to be overly designed and use too many odd colors and shadings imo. Take a look at the designs posted on the last page or two of this thread and compared with the top-tier corporate logos that Pegasus posted. Our logo fits in better in the latter group, which is a good thing.

I don't really care if the original developer banged it out in 15 minutes. Maybe he was a genius, or got lucky. The Tribune, Weather Channel, and even this version of Facebook (not shown in the post above but widely used) are very similar in style and probably cost a fortune (also some others of the "red" persuasion).



What I would suggest is maybe tweaking the font or something if the design is seen as too ordinary. Someone mentioned that is uses a Windows default font. I don't know if that is true but if so we could perhaps find a variation that is a bit more distinctive while keeping the same theme.

Also, the logo and currency symbol have nothing to do with each other. The currency symbol could be used as part of the logo but it doesn't have to be. The logo certainly should not be used directly as a currency symbol.
