I agree, but as much as we need an official logo and brand material ASAP it also needs to be right and shouldn't be hastily chosen. There are more logo designs coming in every day and I've asked a graphic designed I know to submit something as well. I think we need to wait a few more days and gather all the designs and have another vote.
I'd be happy to contribute to this project, but I think we should vote on the logo first.
@chrisbuchner would it be possible for you to submit just the logo design first then once your project is funded continue to create the design document with whichever logo is chosen?
Hi jpeggt,
Ultimately, although we're interested in input from the community on logos, the decision is not one best made by the community - what people who are involved now like (ie. miners and people knowledgable about cryptocurrency) vs. what a wider market consisting of non-technical people who know nothing about cryptos will like could be two entirely different things. I personally like the current logo - it's nice and simple, and it looks clean and elegant IMO, I also think that remaining consistent with the logo we've had up until now is best, even though I do like some of the submissions from the community I have seen in the thread.
I think if we all want to the see the most success we can for Vertcoin, we should defer certain aspects of our public face to people with experience and expertise - obviously the final decision is up to Bushido, this is just my opinion.
