bitbets,
--Why do you want the DOGE Dog? It's the Mascot for DOGE.
--Do you want SMC to be associated with DOGE?
--Why can't we be original?
--A dogie by the definition on the Montana sign clearly states the calf was abandoned, do we want the same connotation with SMC, no matter how true or not?
--Why a backwards S? My opinion: A money sign that's backwards shows that SMC is backwards and not financially sound.
--Why not create a poll and let everyone decide democratically, if you desire to press this logo topic? Vote so we can implement the logo or not and we can move onto new things for SMC.
I'm asking serious questions, community don't attack bitbets again for this, we already know where the community is coming from on this topic.
Its a play on words, and/or a play on pictures too.
I have answered most of this in posts at smartcoin.boards.net
maybe just one question at a time. There is alot of technical detail involved in trying to answer those questions,
and I touched on most of it already at the forum.
Where do you want the poll? here at bitcointalk, or at smartcoin.boards.net
or I think there is a forum for smartcoin over at cryptocointalk.com ( we might create a poll there)
People might consider doing giveaways over at cryptocointalk to advertise smartcoin?
It doesn't matter where you start the poll, just be sure to post the link in your posts here, but I don't think we'll need it. I think you'll see where I'm coming from. You have a great tactic in using other coin's methods BUT, we need our own version of everything to go along with it - SMC branded from start to finish. If you do start the poll, I recommend starting the poll here at btctalk since who know how many people really want to sign up at another forum right now. There's already 4-5+ SMC forums, ya know what I mean? Please post what voting options you're going to include before you start the poll, I may have an additional option for you to include.
I'd like to interject this: Would a brand new car company use the Toyota, Ford, Fiat, Dodge, Chevrolet, BMW, Mercedes etc etc emblem? Don't go by Honda and Acura, they are one company. Where I do see logo rip-offs (and same color and pattern utilization) in the world is for product recognition for "grocery store-brand" type products trying to get people to buy the store brand. It works, but you always know it's a cheaper knock-off of lesser quality. Cereal is a perfect example and usually the store brand cereal tastes like shit.
Tactic is good, method is not. We can't clone or slightly modify another coin's logo and expect to be successful. Originality is the key to innovation and success. Let's do our own thing, using other coins as a tool for learning. So with that said, do you still want to use the dog?
If you give me some time, I'll make the sexy SMC droid chick I was talking about. It's not something i can get done in a day or two.
