Re: Art Contest (OC Logo redesign)
Since name and logo are the only two parts of any coin that ppl will actually ever see,
and image is everything in cc,
i think we should spend more than 3000 OC (currently about 3 bucks) to develop the logo.
and also extend the deadline to july 1
maybe devs should post a receiving address for 1st place (screw 2nd and 3rd, ie why dilute the prize to pay losers)
and advertise the bounty as it increases.
I'll kick in 10k myself
if we can get even 50 or 100 more ppl to pony up a little, we could attract some real talent here,
i'm sure a first class logo would have a profound influence on the value of the coin.
The idea being that any money we spend here comes back 1000x over the years.
Any of you orange heads that think this makes sense should chime in here.
Are we serious about promoting this coin or is it just a $3 notion.

I'll see your 10k, but I think there should still be something for 2nd,3rd more peeps getting oranges the better
well i guess you could have 3 addresses for donators to hit,
but i encourage ppl to pump 1st place... because that is the candy that could bring 'em in from out of town
which is what we are going for i think
Reason prizes were low were for price rise expectations and my personal bankroll. This contest is being run by me, not OCdev, although he's a judge. I'm paying prizes from my pocket with some donations I've received, not the premine. I gladly welcome feedback to make the contest better, but just know, its just for fun to bring OC awareness. ''We like our logo''. I wanted to see what you guys could come up with for a few mouse clicks to get things moving for OC. You guys don't need to donate since I'm sponsoring this.
1st prize 20000
2 7500
3 2500
Deadline: June 15th 5pm EST. Don't want to extend too much farther since we don't know who's 'secretly' waiting until last day to submit. Just get out there and spread the word.
i didn't mean to besmirch the current logo,
could be a little more orange and less yellow, and maybe more distinctive when viewed as a small icon
yet i actually think it's pretty good, way above average, orange could live with it forever if needed
but what i had in mind was a new monster-mofo-magic-class coin face!
as in
'omg what a great logo.... let's go buy some #%$&ing coins!!!'maybe i'm thinking too big here, maybe OC's
'one & only actual image' is not all that important.
