I heard there was a competition for someone to come up with a new SHND coin design. I don't know if it's finished or not but I saw the following brilliant photo somewhere on bitcointalk or google images -both, I think - and it's the BEST 'strong arms' photo by far that I've seen. It is commanding, it's humble, it's handsome, it's AMAZING - even with the overlay of characters on top of it - it ticks all of the boxes - I think that is a BRILLIANT photo of Strong Arms. It was said also that the background of the coin should be in red to pay homage or respect or such to Japan, leading me for the first time to ponder that it could be a Japanese coin? Brilliant, if so - and because of that, I think that another image, blended somehow with the first image I mentioned above, could be an effective image or icon to go on the red coin. If not alot of people can see the vision in linking these two images, I'm sure a designer can. Note that the strong arms going upward, DO resemble the iconic ancient floating torii gate of the Shinto shrine, Itsukushima shrine, Miyajima, Hiroshima area, island of Honshu, Japan which is the other image that I think would be brilliant to have on the coin. The strong arms from a design viewpoint, are round and curved and it would be good if the straight lines of the Shinto shrine could intertwine with the arms - as you can see, the roof of the ancient gate goes UPWARDS just like 'Strong Arms'.
I'm having trouble uploading the two images. Can anybody help me out there? Thank you.
