Cool, good start Mannie. Just a couple things that stand out:

-The DARKCOIN image on the grey bar gets a bit lost due to lack of contrast. On that note are we using the one with light blue in it?
-We need to be consistent. Is it DarkCoin or Darkcoin?

Thanks for your work!

Good point. I think that grey bar needs to change colour. Do you know the right logo to use?

I thought it was Darkcoin and DarkSend. Am I wrong?

Thanks for the feedback Smiley

I'm not entirely sure to be honest. I've seen all variations - DarkCoin, Darkcoin, DarkSend, Darksend. Pretty sure it's not even consistent in the first post! Point is it should be consistent, maybe see if Evan has one in mind?

About the logo, the one at the top of the first post was what I thought we were going with (for the text part of it I mean). Maybe I'm wrong though, things got pretty muddy there with many color variations and such.

Yeah I'm confused too. I'll stick with Darkcoin and DarkSend for now. Will be easy to change once it's clarified.

Anyone know if there is a PNG file of the light blue logo?

Original source files (AI format) from the designer available here: https://mega.co.nz/#!4wUGHaDR!1Pk4jy2fU9g_u0Pb820G5DYFq9xTx-rw2OrOYy6Ht-8

According to the designer the font used was "Eurostyle bold extended"

The blue version was a quick & dirty photoshop job I did for the voting poll, using the shade of blue from whoever was the first person to create the blue variant. You should get someone with decent photoshop skills to convert the EPS files to high quality vector images using the blue colour. Using the fill tool to recolour (like I did) creates aliasing effects & messes up the edges, so I suggest not using the existing blue versions.

As far as which image to use: The blue "D" is the logo, and the coin with the logo on it is the coin design (to clarify terminology). Personally I'd be using the logo for the primary branding, and the coin design when it's contextually appropriate. But that ain't my call, so, good luck to you sir. Smiley

This is correct, to my knowledge.  Darkcoin, DarkSend, DarkGravityWave.

Please let me know if you'd like a 2nd set of eyes to look over the copy.

Guys it's right in the title of the thread DarkCoin  Smiley

This has been gone over before - unless Evan changed his mind at some point, it's Darkcoin.  The white paper never has the c capitalized.

Ok, my bad. Wouldn't it be better though if everything was standardized?

These are the source files for the logo, but they don't have the new color scheme:

https://mega.co.nz/#!4wUGHaDR!1Pk4jy2fU9g_u0Pb820G5DYFq9xTx-rw2OrOYy6Ht-8

The specific color shades used are:

Light blue
RGB: 51,152,204
Hex: #3398cc

Dark gray
RGB: 51,51,51
Hex: #333333

Hey guys, I'm new. I invested in darkcoin the other day and already made a nice loss. See my username. (although I haven't panic sold this one yet! I still have faith in the coin. Smiley)




My two cents about the site design:
Make the logo a bit bigger, perhaps, and make it be vertically centered in that area. The area itself can be a bit smaller (lower height). Make it so that the top and bottom of the text aligns with the top and bottom of the logo.

I would put a bit less vertical space between 'THE FIRST' and 'ANONYMOUS DIGITAL CURRENCY'. The way it's styled now makes it seem, on first glance, that 'THE FIRST' is a title, and the line below it is the subtitle. Of course, when you read it you understand that that's not the way it is, but general webdesign conventions make you think that at first sight. Also, the logo+text only take up a small percentage of the space in the middle (horizontally), and it's not centered or otherwise in line with the rest of the design. That probably sounds overly perfectionistic, but clever use of white space/negative space can make a design look better. See this link for a cool example http://sixrevisions.com/web_design/negative-space-in-webpage-layouts-a-guide/

I agree that the dark darkcoin logo doesn't look good on the dark background. Or rather, it almost disappears.

+1 on the logo spacing, and just about everything else, saved me typing it out...  Smiley

I like the new "DARKCOIN" text logo, be nice to see it displayed more prominently, maybe in the main body, not lost in the header?

Anyway, good work!

The Buck Stops Here.
Wanted to let everyone know that I've been rewriting/editing copy for a new website, and have made some progress on adapting a template. Still a bit to do but would welcome feedback so far. It's just a proposal but should hopefully be better than the current site.

Here's a screengrab of part of the front page...




I like it.  Nice, minimalistic, clean.  Huge improvement IMO.

This is very nice! I like it a lot.

Is it just me, or is the new logo / coin growing on you?  I know there was a whole bunch of voting and talking about the logo.

But this is just awesome.



I can't remember who made the first batch of shirts, are they planning on making a new batch with the new logo / coin? As I for one would love a shirt this this on it!

Awesome work well done you! It's a great foundation.  I don't mind the light blue, but would be good to see other colours.  Great font.
