that last statement is kind of retarded but i fully support you, based on that the apple symbol would still be the multi coloured one - ( hey maybe you are right?) - and the Windows symbol woudl be the 3.1 design.
but i don't think it really matters at this stage of moon's life cycle.
the code obviously needs maintenance, but in the same sense it still functions so?...
Have you looked at the designs he's linking? Those aren't slightly overworked original ones, like the ones you mentioned as a reference.
I did not say in any word, that we cannot overhaul the original-logo sometime, but a completely new logo NOW, only in the hope of "saving" Mooncoin??
So please read my postings in the way they are meant, before calling them retarded. We only speak about this time, not the time three years from today. To illustrate what I mean: Do you think Mercedes-Benz would abandon their three-pointed-star-logo completely, only to signal, that they have a new line of cars ...? A logo can be maintained
(edit: /overhauled), too, of course. But a completely new one? Would you recommend that to Apple, Microsoft or Mercedes-Benz?
Edit:
Btw: I'm not even sure, if those logos are made by him, or if he only gathered them from the internet, which could lead to licensing issues, too, if the creators are not involved. Just saying.
Edit 2:
Only to illustrate the difference between a completely redesigned logo and an overhauled one, check out gjhiggins' one, here:
https://github.com/mooncoin-project/mooncoin-landannThis is something I could imagine (only the graphical-work could be better, so that we could have the 3D-appearance of the centered moon-surface again). In combination with communicating that this is only a temporary change to celebrate something, this is even more appealing. We could revert back to the original one afterwards. But this would have to be a concerted action and every place, that uses the old logo, would have to be informed twice, to change the logo. And we would have to issue two wallets with different logos.
What I was suggesting to gjhiggins when he was working on the landann-wallet-experiment, was to implement a function, that the user himself can use the graphic, he'd like to have in his wallet. That way he/she could, for example, choose from the graphics gogotan is linking, or from any other source, so even could set a picture of his/her beloved into the wallet, just like some do in a physical wallet. By that, the wallet could be kind of "personalized". Maybe that could be the way to go ...? Only an idea.
In the end still the real question is, if a new design will outweigh the loss of brand-recognition in terms of "good things" to happen. There are many new coins with completely new appearances popping up to the surface every day. If the tag "new" was as good as it is perceived by many, they should take the cryptoworld by storm, right?
