Hey guys,
So we hit a bump in the road but we're back on track.
@BoubonicNugz - dude... when I refresh the page I usually skip through to get an idea of how many new submissions have been put in, but I hit yours and instinctively stopped and looked, that really says something. In your standout test, to me, it's a clear winner. Colour choice is excellent.
One big problem for you - the "h" design is great and a huge step up from the last version - I like how the circle with the vertical line of the h make a power on/off symbol, very clever! The problem after I was looking at your design for a while was I said in my head "wheelchair" and then that was the only thing I could see - a wheelchair logo. Sorry man.
On the font front, thanks for sharing the name, I should have recognised it. You probably already know that for most of these there's a license free knock off version of them, I'll take a look and see if I can find one - either way it's a nice choice.
@Trivelius - nice entry man. solid and clean. I'm not a huge fan of mixing upper case and lower case letters, but personal opinion. I like the idea of the perspective on the "H" - have you played around with other angles? maybe looking up to the H rather than down? - maybe that might open an interesting direction for you?
@coinsocieties - thanks for your feedback, and I take your point. Putting in a bunch of effort to only miss out completely because one person was a little faster sucks. At the same time though changing the rules after the fact seems like a slippery slope. Leave it with me and I will see if I can make this right if I end up doing another one.
Now, to mix things up a little - our "H" symbol
Take another look at Auroacoin - http://auroracoin.org/ - see how they don't use and "A" for their coin design? The symbol they chose is Fehu, the Icelandic symbol for "wealth" (I'm being a little simplistic here, but check it out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fehu)
Are we using the best "H" symbol at our disposal, or is there maybe a more interesting option out there? I've come across this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H_with_stroke seems like an interesting starting point for research.
If you have the inclination, would you like to look in to some options for the H symbol and share them here?
Even if you're not a logo designer, feel free to make a suggestion and don't feel like you have to submit a full logo design with it.
Have a good one folks,
M
