Contest is awesome, design is awesome, focus of coin is awesome.
All the people who contributed in some way are awesome.

Dedicated Leaders -> Good projects -> Increasing community -> Big future.

What are your other holdings besides Litecoin?

You can see the list of the 36 designers here: https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/bitcoin-logo-design-next-dogecoin-karmacoin-362189/designers

As you can see there are nearly 200 designs that will not win the contest. This is not "waste" but part of the process of discovering the logo that best suits our needs, goals, and market.

6 out of the 36 were shortlisted for the finals. Unfortunately, jwcplanet was not one of the finalists. (And each designer uploads their own files.)

Please refer to the two links above (in the quote block) for more info on the reasoning I used to select the finalists. If you feel the contest is being conducted in a biased and unfair way please let me know and we can discuss ideas as to how the process can be improved.

During the finals the factor that most weights the judging of the contest is the result of the various surveys being conducted (that I am paying for out of my own pocket, by the way, along with the contest itself). I have detailed that in post #3601, above. I will not select a winner because 1) I think their design is the best; 2) I know the designer; 3) the designer is cute; 4) the designer could really use the cash, or whatever.

You're free to begin a contest if you'd like. The cost is $299-$1,379 for logos. It's a pretty nice system, and I can give you some tips if you'd like. But I am curious to see how a new contest could be done in a more transparent, fair, open, an unbiased way than the current one. I am always open to new ideas.

I appreciate jwcplanet's past, present, and future designs and hope to see additional designs (and I am sure he/she has appreciated all of the donations received for them).

Just traded all my KarmaCoin for LiteCoin.

Are you sure he isn't K-art Lab?  Those look a lot like his.  Loved his work and tipped him for it early on but the contest is bringing out some amazing logos.  The contest is still open for entires for the next two days so no one is blocking anyone from entering or creating. 

None of the jwcplanet logos were uploaded.  Am I missing something - we did not include them in the process?
I am not sure why this happened, but the owner of this process should have uploaded them.
I will donate to open the contest up to include them.
This is not right to have wasted that work in the process.

New logo contest entry:https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/bitcoin-logo-design-next-dogecoin-karmacoin-362189/entries/181

That one is currently the design with the highest average rating on my latest survey of global internet users. It may also show up better on a white background (if we have that) than the one below.

This one is in second place: https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/bitcoin-logo-design-next-dogecoin-karmacoin-362189/entries/193

The black version gets the highest number of 5-star ratings overall when placed only with the first one: https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/bitcoin-logo-design-next-dogecoin-karmacoin-362189/entries/134

Although the black version gets high ratings the white version of it does not. This may meant people like the contrasting colors of the black/white logo more than anything. If we use this logo design our entire website would need to be black (or dark), which may actually turn off visitors who are looking for something happy. As a logo it is nice, but as a brand theme it may not work.

I will continue to eliminate desgins that do not perform well in surveys. Currently I have 8 surveys running and have received about 170 responses.

I'll post the results of the final survey in a day or so, before the end of the contest.

Here's how the contest winner will be judged

Global survey results: 80%
Usability of logo (brandability): 10%
Practicality of logo in media (e.g., color transparency, visibility): 10%

karmacoin isn't in coinwarz anymore and the 24h volume is only 4btc. what's happening?

LOL, dump away - your in for a rude shock!

Also, if you'd like to donate to help cover the costs of this contest (already paid $299, as it is a guaranteed contest to attract more entries) you can send Karma to KBuE7G9Xf2JUgeUKPk6MkPkLNL6zXyznxz  - Thanks!

I thought his was the K-art one?

The trunk one that is staring at us is using the most of the space it is given.  It's pretty neat, the trunk is thick but most of it is off the coin.

Good point!  I missed that volume.

Question:  Why are we not voting on the jwcplanet logos?  None of them are in the contest.  Can anyone tell me why?

We are doing it right.  We are waiting for confirmation of funds received from the Scouts. It will take approximately a week and we should be good to go.

Is it just my imagination or does the trunk on this design look ... a bit strange: https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/bitcoin-logo-design-next-dogecoin-karmacoin-362189/entries/191

karmagood - any update on press release - girls scout fund?

oh yeah.... at that 8 ltc volume "."

And 40 litoshi is something like 1.1 satoshi. ..

BTW, if you are selling for 1 satoshi on Mintpal.com they are being resold on cryptorush around 2 satoshi at .00000040 LTC.

Dear K-Team

Please make your way over to the project page if you haven't already today. Thanks!
