No offense to the devs on this, but I think the new logo was chosen really quickly. It looks nice and everything but not professional enough. (No offense to sigi either). I suggest part of the new fund be dedicated to getting a high grade professional logo done. We can scout for talent on http://dribbble.com/ . There is some amazing work to be done and the logo can inspire. If the logo decision is already final, then so be it, otherwise a professional can really make it pop.

+1 I actually think some of the later proposed designs were more professional. I also think we should spend a decent chunk on the logo. It's the first thing you see when you see this coin. It needs to make a great first impression!!

+1 agreed.

Also why do we need a letter of the alphabet (D) on the coin? It seems almost every alt is copying BTC with that and imo its pointless.

Well a great designer hired on dribble can do wonders, they can go in direction you haven't even thought of, mixing the letter with a logo for example.

I see there is a bounty for a "professionally vectorised art and logo", is the logo different to the 'coin image'? I think the coin image/depiction is pretty awesome already.

Personally I see the coin image as something that can coexist with a darkcoin logo, I see them as different things. But that's just my 2c, and doesn't count as any official viewpoint. From reading this thread, it's clear that using the coin as an official logo is a divisive issue, so the idea with that bounty is to produce some options and have the community vote for which they like best. If the community votes to keep the existing logo, that's fine. Or someone might come up with something that blows everything out of the water -- we just don't know yet.

A great image gives people positive feedback and some designers can work magic. I can't wait to see some submissions and maybe get a vote after that. Or simply hiring an expert to create it.
