Re: [ANN][SBC] From Death Comes Life  The Rebirth of StableCoin - stablecoin.net December 05, 2013, 03:21:54 AM #347 Quote from: Sulaco on December 05, 2013, 02:13:21 AM Quote from: Hazard on December 05, 2013, 02:00:38 AM Quote from: Sulaco on December 05, 2013, 01:59:10 AM Anyone who holds or is thinking of buying SBC will care what the "religious wackos" think if/when SBC starts getting dumped becuase of poor choice of logo. Horns is definitely not a good idea; people might associate it with devil, and the "S" with Satan, and red with the devil. This will deter 2 kinds of people from SBC:

1. Christian / religious types.

2. Non- religous types, don't give a damn about the horns per se, but even they might be worried that the horns will scare off the religious types and therefore limit the appeal of the coin.

The only person around here nutty enough to make that association would be Luke Jr.

Hi Hazard,



Not sure where you are from, but I think anyone from a western country (such as USA.... maybe not Chinese) would instantly make an association with the devil/Satn from a red S with horns. If you're not sure, go ask 10 people from the USA if they have ever seen any image of a red devil with horns.



I think the possible negatives of the horns outweigh any possible benefits. The logo won't by itself make SBC a success but it could by itself prevent or limit SBC's success. Why risk possibly alienating potential buyers for very little in return (an arguably better looking design)?
