Guys do you think of hiring a pro designer for the logo? I believe it is important on the way to success.
+1 for this suggestion.
It might seem trivial at the current stage of development, but to a certain cross section of users, a product's look and feel is a very powerful trigger. The website looks great, but the logo lets it down (imo). Putting to one side technical arguments, this is where setups like Feather Coin have an edge. If this project is to have the legs that many here are asserting, and if the project has a sudden surge in interest for whatever reasons, when those visitors come knocking, I'm willing to bet that a significant number will react more positively if the whole package has a quality, professional, considered feel to it.
I should point out that, even though I have had a hazy awareness of this growing phenomenon ( alt currencies ) for a little while, it's only in the past month or so that I've taken a real interest in its possibilities, and have become hooked and sold on its potential and viability.
I do a bit of web app development work, have some experience of integrating conventional payment processing systems, and with that hat on, this technology is a no brainer. However, that work brings me into contact with many average punters, for many of whom Paypal is a new and wonderous thing. I work on some great looking sites ( designed by other people ! ), and some monsters, often in similar market spaces. Almost without fail, it is the slicker, more considered sites that bring in the business.
It's a similar process to preparing for a job interview. It's a shit process, and one that most of us have had to go through. Rarely are we lucky enough to be able to go to an interview where to don't need to consider our appearance to some degree ( unless you're applying for the position of SysAdmin down in the bowels somewhere ). If you scrub up a bit, your chances of being taken seriously are just that little bit enhanced, and it's that 'little bit' that might tip the odds in your favour.
I'm not asserting that this need to 'present' is either good or bad. It just is. I was laying awake last night thinking about just this very thing, will upload something for consideration, but am certain that a pro should have a chance to give this very interesting coin the little bit of polish that might just push it where it deserves to go.
