Re: Nxt marketing & promotion :: Nxt is now 100% Open Source! And on Cryptsy!
Haha, I am nót taking over nxtcrypto.org!
nxtcrypto is QBTC's/the communities' site. I am not the community, nor its spokesperson/marketeer.
I ám working with a group of young designers to try and get a coordinated "brand" going.
Everyone will have a repository they can freely take stuff from if they need it, so they can quickly make promo-material or set up a site that immediately says "Nxt".
Everyone is equally free to disregard it. If the material we provide is good enough, people will use it (which I hope, because I wánt Nxt to be immediately recognised). If not, it will fail.
Also, as you can see from my list, "brand" is more than just visuals. Visuals are supporting the brand, not the other way around.
I hope that clears it up. Communication is hard
At the moment, however, I'm just polling for our visions, goals, targets etc. It may be we have widely different views. This is also OK. I am at the moment pushing the guys forwards, while at the same time reserving the right to tell them we need to change gears and throw out the things they are making at the moment.
Hmmm, okay, that's a pity then about the nextcrypto.org site...
We differ on the "that's also okay" part
Of course it's all open source, everyone can design whatever they want and do whatever they wish.
BUT: for the "official" (paid for by the community) branding we need uniformity and stick to it.
Is nxt.org ours? If so, that would really need to be a top notch designed website (through and through). All other official advertising should be based on the the same style and color schemes.
I also think that we should be tougher as to who receives what bounty and if they receive any bounty, we should also be allowed to change stuff and influence the look and feel. We are, after all, paying for it!
