COPY PASTE from here
http://forum.fedoracoin.net/index.php?topic=16.0 I don't have time to help today unfortunately.
Now Im passionate about TIPS but not the Fedora part. I honestly believe TIPS (fiscal kind)
The Internet Payment System is much easier to promote then Fedora the hat tip coin. Credit to cnsd
The coin has two unique selling propositions USPs Coin mixing and TIPS.
Tipping and Security
TIPS is the brand first. Then once we have the brand done we can add in the features. We do not want to build a brand based on one aspect of the technology because we will have to compete against others in the market for that share. Apple brand is not about a motherboard from the 70s. Side note: jonathan Ive the designer came up with the ipod design not steve jobs. design is just as important as the technology for a brand to grow , and TIPS needs design.
We have TIPS. That means we own the entire tipping market world wide forever. The coin mixing is not what the brand is. Its an add on.
An advert would go...We are TIPS the brand (logo in corner) and we have a new feature.....
From an advertising perspective we can have the internet payment system logo. with a variation of an acronym for the feature we are promoting in the copy. Coin mixing total internet privacy and security. This is a real advertising strategy. in a month or two there may be a new feature or we want to claim a truth......tipping increases penis size. Ok sometimes we make up a USP. But it would work on a porn site mind you.
we now own using an acronym for our campaign. its easy and we can have fun with it. Being able to repeat an idea creates the brands identity.
NOT official in any way. go to the guidelines link below to understand why I've posted these advertising campaign examples. Remember I'm about idea first. The two on the right work well together and needs a better third ad to make a campaign. But you get the idea.
What we need. A logo with an upside down fedora with TIPS at the top and the internet payment system on the outside. decorate with 101010101 too. The coin is silver. The logo must work as a tiny icon too, so it needs a little contrastCurrently posting here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=391192.2740But in the future we follow these guide lines.

.Also if someone with a legal background can advise. Tips the internet payment system vs tips the internets payment system.

I don't know how to promote fedora the hat tip and what will average joes use it for. Buying hats?
People TIP in the real world and TIPSCOIN has a chance to be used by people that accept financial tips. Websites can add a TIPS button instead of a donation button. I understand the Dev team are hard at work with coding, and stuff I have no idea about, but please let the community have a say in the promotion and branding.
VOTE do you want Fedora Coin Hat tipping coin. Or TIPSCOIN finical tipping.

fedora has 15% and a Tips related name has 85%
Created by Fayens on bitcointalk. Its not a final logo for the unaproved tipscoin idea and its all open for discussion. An upside-down fedora hat is a nice way of showing a financial Tip and gives a tip of the hat to the old name.

redesigne Fayens work by minet (to emphasise the security over tipping)
so many people can be credited but I want to mention BitcoinSteve for bringing TIPS as an acronym to light.
Some other acronym suggestions. some funny some related to the security. Nothing is set in stone and we are just giving suggestions to the dev team.
