Re: Lottocoin redesign - Up to 1BTC on offer or 2,000,000 LOT
Best so far, great effort...... modern, clear and classic with well balanced typogography...
TIPS
my advice would be to do a graduated shiny gold at 45 degrees (not textured gold) across the gold part of the coin and change the depth of the bevels and embossing slightly to make it a bit more 3D. Will give it the wow they are looking for
Also move the LOT type vey slightly to the right by reducing the size... although the L and T are spaced the same distance form the edge you need a little more space to the right of the L to compensate for the space under the right of the Ts top bar... this is a classic 'kerning trick' that is used by professional typograhers to give the type balance... you have to cheat it a bit to get 'LOT' to look centered. If you want to keep the balls of the lot 'O' centred simply reduce the length of the L horizontal just fractionally and move it across towards the O... this will give you that nice space to on the left had side of the L to balance the large space under the T's crossbar.

Cheers Steve for the tips and glad you liked my work!
I played a lot with the letters but will try what you said to make it better
I was going to try another version with the plain flashy gold as you described, but in my opinion I see that style a bit too cartoon-y/clipart-y (like many scam coins out there), so opted for a 'real used' look for the coin to make it stand out from the rest.
I'll try something without the texture on the gold or will reduce it to a minimum... I'll see what looks good
Cheers.
