I like the Logo but, I can't help but associate it mentally with "not another Zcash fork".
I propose a "slashed zero" character. I could be wrong in thinking it's unique or free from copyright.
Sort of like this ø But a 0 instead of an o. or maybe even use ø.
This may cause problems though with coding, though I'm talking theoretically, it should be fine.

dev said in ANN thread

Names and symbols:
Currency name: ZERO
not ZERO cash, not ZERO coin, just ZERO or ZERO currency or ZERO cryptocurrency
Currency unit: ZER
Currency symbol: Ƶ
Unicode: U+01B5

so wanted to respect his wishes but also he actually went to trouble of using unicode so had to be based loosely on that
the 0 symbol with line through would denote a value of 0 ie zero so wanted to avoid that idea
plus one of first posters on thread said sarcastically 0 sats worth

this is what dev is currently using and submitted hopefully our new one is a lot better

not criticizing dev as he cant be great at everything! and he's a very good coder which is what we need

I wouldn't be able to help build a brand and site around that with that colour scheme, we would stay low marketcap coin forever, however good the coding

we are a fork of zcash so a loosely associated logo is helpful and imo is a very nice one also denoting value, memorable and strong on branding

there is a twitter account that attacks zcash all time and they used the zcash logo and zooko was saying quite reasonably that's ok but don't use logo as copyrighted etc, even though they are technically decentralised and opensource

but our logo is totally different and z with line other way and different colour, white, different gold style and no thick black outer ring

will be eyecatching and memorable
plus I will work on the text logo for ZERO
have some ideas hopefully people will like
I have submitted logo to cryptopia as is hurting zero not even having logo for gui wallet, block explorer site, future website, git and exchange

people think maybe abandoned coin or with no dev not having logo on exchange

cryptopia were great and I pointed them to thread and post and said they will add

I will listen to feedback on text logo as maybe not everyone loves or want changes so will do in next few days to a week when have time
as a site cant be built without
plus will help people when posting on social media doing memes, ads etc, when promoting

These are good points, I'm not opposed to the Ƶ Logo, it has more benefits than drawbacks, I just figured maybe something entirely different could be a possible option. But you are right, while the number 0 is good in the concept of privacy (Im assuming this is the idea behind the names ZeroCash and ZeroCoin) it does bring up negative sentiments associated with nothingness, emptiness, vacancy etc.
