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.
We are looking for people to be as creative as possible. It is our intention to create the most luxurious & exquisite physical Bitcoin ever minted.
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?
