Re: [ANN][LSK] Lisk | Blockchain Application Platform for JavaScript Developers
To whom it may concern: The never ending story about a new logo
First I want to say: Don't take this personal. It's just my opinion.
Initiative in all honor, but from a professional point of view, I don't like the aspect that people come around with their own Lisk logos, printing them on shirts, server-boxes and using them on their Lisk websites, social media, etc. It's just makes Lisk look unprofessional (from my view), because if people around seeing so many different logos of Lisk, well... it just looks unprofessional - end of story. Unless there is an official new logo (new Corporate Identity) we *all* should stick to the old one, even if you don't like it. From day one, people are acting like the success of Lisk depends on the logo, but it's not. No the name and not the logo is important. Not a bit. That doesn't mean that I don't want a new logo (I really want), but we have a CEO who should start this officially by calling out a contest or job out a new Corporate Identity.
Totally agree with you.First I want to say: Don't take this personal. It's just my opinion.

Me too.....
Yes. Me three.
It's not appropriate for people to be making logos AND using them. By all means put ideas forward for a new logo but that doesn't mean they should be used prior to the person heading up this project agreeing to the existing logo being officially replaced. Just because the project is about decentralised technology and it's open source doesn't mean its identity is all just open slather for anyone to have a go at altering.
The existing logo is very good, but perhaps not great. But for the moment it represents Lisk and where ever Lisk is being discussed or advertised, the existing logo should be what's displayed.
