@raze I have nothing against "Prestige, value, timelessness and sophistication" (black) or "Pure, noble clean and soft" (white) (see https://www.blackcard.com).
And most of those studies about colors are BS, at the end of the day only a nice packaging (whatever the color) and the quality of the product count.

@LimLims the logo looks like the gay flag

I'd be interested to see a red version, if someone with more design ability than me wants to create some mockups. Not many coin logos are predominantly red, and it draws the eye.
 
Damn, I thought it was pretty good. I guess it could do with some shiny sparkles, maybe some love hearts? *back to the drawing board*
 
I definitely think we should incorporate blue (or any light color) into the design. We are all here obviously because we like the fundamentals of this coin however many people are purely not involved because of its shady image which is not what we want going for this coin. It is awesome that we are aiming for privacy but why do we need to make it look evil, privacy is not evil its a basic human right.
Many of you will say "who cares about everyone that's not already here" but in reality who ever creates a product in which they do not care about increased adoption. The more people we can get into this market means the more liquidity and essentially the better the product and usefulness of that product.
I highly recommend that everyone against lighting up the logo a little reconsiders this :)

I really would have preferred a different logo, but seeing as this is the one, changing it to have color, particularly blue, would help a lot, so I agree here. Red, though my favorite color, seems wrong for the coin. Green to be different could be ok, I dunno.
 
I question the rationale of the voting for the logo and the color scheme. It seems like people are just voting for their own personal preferences. Which is not the point of a logo. We here are into darkcoin despite all the misgivings, even before it's out of beta. But thats a small subset of the population. The point is that the larger world is going to have doubts and prejudices. Our branding can potentially help in breaking down some barriers. But what I see here mostly is, "I like this". Its so juvenile. No serious marketing group asks their owners what they prefer. It's what the targeted group will want and why. Now that's worthy of discussion. If blue can convey trust than I'm all for it. If rainbow colors can show diversity and that's our aim then so be it.
 
So this is what we need. If you like B&W then why? I have heard very little sound reasoning for that choice. Also as far as the logo there was basically zero discussion as to why #6 is better. Our branding of this coin is pure amateur hour and it's disappointing that the consensus here seems so incapable of thinking outside of our own little box.

If you fail to see the reasoning then read again. ;)
 
I'm beginning to think that the community should not be entrusted to make significant branding choices beyond just general discussion and idea generation. I mean really there are so few actual votes. The community seems to not really care. Also if we do vote it should be weighted by how many shares you own or something like a real shareholders vote. Seems ridiculous that anybody can vote on significant changes with no vested interest. Strange.

You say that color is irrelevant and the functionality of the coin is all that matters. That's the most ridiculous thing on this thread. That's my point. The voting here is as if the logo, design, color, branding is irrelevant. It certainly shows.

Well this forum only has about 200 members, so it's more like most are too lazy to register.
 
Updated my old file with the new design...

I really like the logo from #2.
#6 is cool, but I don't really think it's a good logo.

Remember this is about having a good logo to represent the currency, not about what we personally think is a cool design.

&LOL@the bird :D

My point is that's irrelevant, so why not keep the original design as the guy made/conceived it, moreover, if the argument is to change the colors just to change the perception about the coin it's useless. We are wasting time on something irrelevant : without a definite logo the marketing is on pause. Do.You. Understand ?

#6 won the first vote and we're now going to decide which variant of #6 we want. If you're happy with how #6 looks, then vote for that in the next vote. It will be included.

I personally like a blue version of it, with the 'Dark' text black.

I gotta be frank, the D looks strange on a coin design. It just doesn't fit well. I also think there are enough alt-coins that uses this sort of coin design, and I feel that it would be better if we could stray away from that. The simple D is very memorable to me at least.

I like the blue version too.

To me it feels a bit "off" too. Sort of unbalanced in terms of its size & placement on the coin. I suspect it could be tweaked so that it looks more natural.
 
So far it's just the blue variant that's been submitted, so if nothing else is submitted soon I'll make a poll to decide between the b&w and the blue version.
