Topic: 6 Bitcoins & 2 Ounces of fine Gold in Bounty – Submission Deadline 31st August (Read 11861 times)

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/physical-bitcoin-design-finalists-cast-your-vote-now-ends-10th-september-14-765337 - Vote your favorite design from this thread - All designs active!

Completely missed this thread, will be entering the next competition for the lower denomination coin.

Good luck to the finalists

Coinographic did the most terrible job selecting the winners of this.

They selected 5 round coins, nothing unique, nothing special (don't get me wrong, nice submissions for the most part) but why even vote now.  It will be round with a design. Cool.  What was so terrible is the contest rules required basically 2 things.

a. design the SOLID GOLD COIN and
b. design the hologram and the Box it will come in...

Yet, out of 5 winners...  one winner did not submit a box...  shouldn't even be in the conversation if you can't read the rules.

And another of the 5 winners designed this...



Does this look like solid gold to you?  He even states that it will have solid gold lines.  Yeah that makes sense.  So cool that you guys selected your 5 winners and all 5 are bout the same and 2/5 can't follow directions. Pathetic

We have now selected the 5 designs to go through to the final phase of the competition.  You can view the results here - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/physical-bitcoin-design-finalists-cast-your-vote-now-ends-10th-september-14-765337

For those of you that didn't get selected, we want to thank you for the time and effort that you put into your designs - It really means a lot to us!  We will be starting another competition very soon for a lower denomination coin.  We would welcome you all to enter that contest when it goes live. There were so many great designs, it was a really tough choice.

Thank you once again to the community for their support in this project.

Best of luck to the finalists

Awesome.

Good luck everyone!

Edit: Never mind. I believe I misread what PolyCoin-Team was saying.

The deadline isn't for a few more hours (just over 3 hours at the time of this posting)

Ok guys, here is my submissions.
First I would like to say good job to everyone.
There is some very nice designs made.
Well done!

Secondly, it has been a long weekend for me as I had to turn the rough sketches I have done while on holidays to something presentable.

I have taken into serious consideration what Coinographic requested as it was exactly what I wanted too.


So having that in mind while I was creating my coin designs, I present to you my ideas:
(Apologies for the large image size)

PHYSICAL BITCOIN DESIGN #1
OCTAGON COIN















My idea is to create the coin using both yellow and white gold as to give attention to detail (yellow gold only version also included). I wanted something that truly stands out in terms of design, material, craftsmanship and presentation. A true luxurious coin that would make any coin collector proud to own one.

Design Details:
FRONT:
First as you have probably noticed, the Bitcoin logo is placed on top of an image of the moon (TO THE MOON!!!!) which is escorted by another 7 circles (or planets) giving a total of 8 planets – as much as the planets in our Solar system – as to state that Bitcoin is Universal currency.
The moon behind the Bitcoin logo also resembles the earth.
The circle containing the number 5 is earth – 5 continents - and the number 5 also symbolizes the years of Bitcoin and how fast it has been widely adopted.
The stars are also symbolic as there can be as many (maybe more) Bitcoin addresses as there is stars.
(Total number of Bitcoin addresses is: 1,461,501,637,330,902,918,203,684,832,716,283,019,655,932,542,976)
The two circles containing stars have a trail which is also a simplified version of open wings, symbolizing freedom – monetary freedom without any third party or middle man involved (banks, etc).
Around the edges the binary code translates to “five btc”.
On the sides of the coin (rim) the word Coinographic is engraved going all the way around.
BACK:
The hologram contains all the important information and has a geometric pattern (the one right after the bitcoin keys) that symbolizes the use of the net and the blockchain which is the basis of Bitcoin’s success. The trustless distributed consensus.

PACKAGE:
For the package I wanted to create something unique that will accompany the coin and give it the class and projection it deserves. It allows the coin to be displayed in all sides and provide protection at the same time. No need to open a box to view the coin. A coin like this should not be enclosed in a box.
The base will be plastic and the coin itself will be placed in between two, hard plastic sheets (plexiglass?)
The shape of the coin will be laser engraved on the sheets as to allow the coin to fit in properly.
The sheets will then slide in to the side of the base.

PHYSICAL BITCOIN DESIGN #2
ROUND COIN















The details are more or less the same as the Octagon version but on a different design.

So what do you guys think?

I hope to see it live soon.It's deadline has crossed already otherwise I would have participated as well.Good Luck

I hope the coinographic guy disqualifies the idiots that are trying to push their coindesign while using another username. Obvious is obvious!

Here's an another version of my previous submission, plus the box to go with it.  I apologize for the graininess but I tried to illustrate how the engraved lines should look.  I'm unfortunately out of time so this is as pretty as it's gonna get.   This is what I was originally going for anyways, so I guess make this my official submission.

The back is almost the same as previous except I added a little black gloss to match the front.

The box is gloss black with a "BTC" window to look in and see the coin.  Engraved gold lettering on the front and sides help match the coin.

BTW, There have been some AWESOME submissions!  I think whatever design gets chosen, it's going to look amazing.

Best of luck to everyone!

I love this ^^

I figured I'd try to get one more submission in before the deadline.

Edit: Final version. The bottom right is showing underneath the hologram. It can be modified to fit whatever you need underneath it.

9 hours and 20 mins left before the submissions close!

I this design a lot!

And another entry

Coinographic,

Is there a specific time when the competition ends today or should we assume that submissions will be accepted till midnight GMT?

Midnight submission...

The lower-right graphic on the coin is supposed to be a hand receiving a coin, but I am horrible at drawing hands, so you will have to use your imagination.

The back of the coin will have the holographic insert, and say "Coinographic, 2014, etc." around the edge.
