Thanks for the positive words my friend. My main goal is to help promote the growth of bitcoin and crypto currencies in general.

You're an Ancap too

PotatoBadger

Gotta be Ancap . . anything else is violence But yeah thanks for the submission but it's a bit 8bit / Mario ? On the plus side is does have a 'digital' edge to it.





Quote from: Rawted on August 25, 2013, 09:58:26 PM To be honest, the font logotype is perfect. Swap the font to something more pronounced, and concentrate on the slogan. Complete currency commerce, commerce without borders, fee-free commerce, shopping super charged, etc. I am not at my most creative right now, but i'll update with some thoughts when i am.



Check out the frutiger font if you have a moment.



Rawted

Yes t he Frutiger font is nice, 'Commerce without borders' is really nice, has a kind of world wide shipping / borderless payment system thing going for it.

In the design world we call this "spec work" because it is a speculative investment of time which may or may not pay off. This can lead to troubles for designers in general as well as contractors looking for design work. As a designer I think your fee is quite reasonable, and you should have no trouble finding a designer who will make the logo to your satisfaction. I would suggest you ask users to post samples and them make an agreement with one user. This method almost always works out best for everyone. Good luck with your project.



I agree with this. I was going to pitch the idea to someone I know that's great at art and logo design but I decided I don't want to drag them into something that may or may not even pay off. It sucks to spend hours working on something to perfect it, just to find that you get absolutely nothing to show for it.

All good points. Unfortunately I'm not big on the 'picking a designer' style of doing things.

I really like

This is the same approached used by things like the Google X Prize and such. Iif your into Science/ Space/ Evolution and stuff, checkout this by Peter Diamandis



On the flip side, if your a designer and low on work, it might be of interest to you. . . either way, it's a peaceful voluntary interaction

Unfortunately I'm not big on the 'picking a designer' style of doing things.I really like 99designs way - competition style - you get a greater variation of work worth alot more than the original bounty . . so obviously it's great for the employer, but is risky for the designer.This is the same approached used by things like the Google X Prize and such.

I think you think you are getting a better deal than you are. Spec work often results in problems for contractors as well. Do a search for USAGI on this forum for a good example of how it can go wrong. Additionally pissing off a bunch of your potential user base by exploiting them for cheap labor is not the way to go either. A note to designers, participating in this kind of spec work also devalues your own ability to get paid in other jobs. If someone could get 100 rubes to do it for free why would they pay you? I suggest that any self respecting designer should not participate in spec work. I think you think you are getting a better deal than you are.
