Basically, I don´t think a logo for a coin has to look like a coin. However, the actual logo should fit on a coin. The logo must be displayed with a coin and without a coin - but the logo isn´t the coin! The current logo with the coin is too fragmented, the individual parts do not fit together and there are to many "cheap" filter effects (sorry). As I have already written a few days ago here, I would also provide the "e" or "E" with two strokes at the top and at the bottom. It should be simple and quickly to understand. It has to work as positive and negative (on black or any color). It should be as easy as $ or € or BTC.

My opinions is, leave the old logo behind and free your mind. We need a professional graphic design. If you want to invest some old school $ for it: www.99designs.com very cheap but professional newcomer.

Or we have to collect some more USDe to pay a professional designer. I would say, we need 250.000 USDe or more for it (=0.375 BTC or $300). This is nothing for a logo!!!

It´s my daily business. I´m a creative director for this. But I don´t have time to do it. I will help as much I can. I can give some advise.

The logo is very very important!!! Much more than the most people are thinking.
