@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.

Damn!  I hate to admit it, but your right.  I didn't see it.  Time to wipe that off the whiteboard.  Thanks for the good initial vibes though Wink

On the font front, thanks for sharing the name, I should have recognized 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.

I've looked for good free knock-offs before but there really isn't any.  Gotham Rounded is really in a league of it's own.  There is a license fee for the font, as mentioned above.  If you where to choose one of my designs as a final, I'd go so far as to split the license fee and accept a reduced bounty to see it used.  Personally, I think investing in a timeless look would only benefit the future of the coin.


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.

Interesting - I like the correlation to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_Planck_constant
