This site already exists and is very similar to the majority of logos being created . https://www.elastic.co/

i mean similar as in layout, a logo with the words elastic directly under it , not the logo itself

Not sure on legality or laws or anything but would this pose a potential problem in the future? with it being similarly laid out with the logo but name being the same

The site says "Copyright 2017", so this XEL is older. Additionally, it would be really hard to point a finger at someone. Even if they tried a cease and desist letter who are they supposed to send it to? The worst they could do would be going after the guys holding the website, at which point someone will move it to a place outside their jurisdiction (if it isn't already) and once SHIFT or any other decentralized management system gets IPFS based webhosting done, there is absolutely nothing they can do anymore. Fun times ahead of us.

And ... I can't find the 3-body thing ... I loved that one!

Why, thanks

I think people didn't take it seriously, because it was very "out there". I was actually quite serious, but to be honest, I'm a little relieved that it's not in the competition, because should it have won, I would have had no idea how to make it actually work

On that regard, I thought about this three-body problem from a different angle: Wouldn't it be good to have some kind of simple calculation running steadily (doesn't have to be 3-body)? I don't know why exactly, but I have the feeling this could be used for testing(Miners maybe could use it as a "standart test"?), as a heartbeat and so on

and, just to add this, I feel like I have to defend my design on a visual level, because I feel like people thought of it as still being in a sketch phase: I know, the 3-body design looks different, very downplayed, not in your face and very not "designy". Choosing a monospace font for the text adds to that. However, I am quite serious and took this thing seriously. I'm a little done with the slick and overpolished instagram aesthetic, which dominates Logo design at the moment. Especially with a project like this, I felt it was time to choose something different. The bare aesthetic of IDEs, monospace fonts, text as the main design element, as little lines, boxes and icons as possible, plain text, pure information as the ideal, that was what I was going for.
