My thoughts:
Logo 1 is tricky. As a corporate logo, designwise, it is more sophisticated. Initially it confuses you, what is that shadow for?.. and then it hits you, It's K and C .. and then it turns into an optical illusion because it shifts between K-C and I-C. You have to dig deep down and once it settles in -----> Kobocoin = International/Internet Coin/Currency). I am not sure if that is what the designer was aiming for, but that is how I interpreted the logo.
Logo 2.. it's simple and direct to point.. Kobocoin is a currency.. and then the image of a flying bird/plane swoops in, it's fast. It doesn't hurt that it looks like a green and K version of the Bitcoin logo. Another point, when I asked my 6-year old daughter which logo she prefers, she pointed to Logo 2, because it looks like a money. If a 6-year old can get it .....
If we are targetting for broader consumer adoption, I am voting for Logo 2
Thanks for the feedback. I can see why you went for logo 2.
For logo1, that's what the designer was aiming for. It's a K and a C, but it signifies that kobocoin is on the blockchain. It's more a corporate logo (imo).
For Logo 2, the stripes were added to make it look more like a currency.
They're both being modified. I'll see what they look like when they come back but I'm happy with both. I think the designer done good.
