I think while the logo is more ok, the coin design needs A LOT of work to be professional-looking. In fact I think we are regressing heavily with the coin / 3D. Colour scheme is also not to my liking (I prefer black & gold, must've mentioned it a few times
) but that's always highly subjective.
Sounds like we need 11 x logo's.
Then everyone will be happy because they get to choose which one they like. This is virtual cash after all. It's not like we have to get the printing presses all stocked up with ink.
I think the process should be like this to achieve optimum result:
1) pick a logo (done)
2) Ask for multiple variations on the chosen logo, color variations or improvements (with bounty for the winner?)
3) Pick the best from them (+award bounty to winner?)
4) Issue specifications for the design of the 2D / 3D coin based on what we want to be on it (like the 101010101010 the D's, whether we want it to write darkcoin on it or not, colors etc)
5) Wait from the artists for the best coin design
6 - in the future): Use a variation of (5) for physical DRKs or issue a new bounty for proposals.
Step between 3 and 4 is whether we actually want a 2D/3D coin design or we are ok with just the logo.
