We had over 400 entries, in a contest the site expected a "great turnout" would be 200. A lot were rehashes of designs in different color schemes or small tweaks. But the quantity of the turnout was very good. As a sealed contest no other artists could see the other entries. Yet prior to the suggestion by the Dev, we got a lot of meaningless logos that could have been for Biblepay or easily could have been for some new candy bar or investment group. The better ones would at least have been seen as probably being some megachurch but prior to the suggestion most of the logos were nicely done but very generic. As if the artists had a file that was "generic religious logos" that they slapped Biblepay on and submitted.
The top design does represent the coin well, but it can still be tweaked a bit (we've got 6 days before I have to extend or award the prize).
Thank you for the clarification on the process I understand now.
Looking at the polls again, the four icons without a doubt makes the design more unique, that's for sure.
