I see we can read the bible inside the wallet,
but I want a darker background(black or dark grey) with darkish-orange letters(not bright),
because the white background hurts the eyes.

dull-orange(not bright orange) letters on a dark-background(i find this is one of the best combinations to be easier on the eyes)

(i cannot post pics here at bitcointalk.org with this new account yet)


maybe offer users the option for different themes in the biblepay wallet, but also for reading the bible?

also, the ability to have bold letters would be my favorite, sometimes the non-bold letters do not show well on the dark background.

*note: i am not accustomed to the commands in the paint program on this new computer, my old computer broke which had programs i was more familiar with, so the pic isn't as good as it could be, but gives you the idea of what i am talking about
Yes, and some of the most powerful prayers are built in too (Under the Bible menu).
Could you try this first please: Click settings | options | display | user interface theme, and change the theme, and tell us if any of those work?  Im just curious if it changes your bible background color.  If not let us know and we can probably make a dark theme when we get the new logo pack in and add it to that theme dropdown.


I tried this, and it doesn't change the background of the wallet nor the verses:

99.99 bbp incoming to my wallet

thank you someone Smiley



by the way, i do not like the pink background in the wallet,
and i tried to change the theme in the way mentioned in a post above, but i don't see any changes,
unless i am missing something,
and no changes at all in the background when I looked at the bible text.



That was me Smiley

To copy your address on the pool site you have to use CTRL+V (in Windows). At least, when I try to copy an address using my right mouse button, I only get a 'customize' label (using Chrome).

About the Faucet: are you sure that you're on the mainnet and the pool website is also on the mainnet? If you try again and it doesn't work, I'll try the faucet with your biblepay adres to see where it goes wrong.

I lean towards a minimalistic approach then it comes to logo's.

I really like the 'BP' letters from 450, with the integrated cross, but I don't really care for the rest of that particular design.
I also like 446, 429 and 351.

Donated 20.000 btw Smiley

For those not aware, we have sponsored a logo contest at Freelancer.

The contest entry phase has now closed.  We have 14 days to select a winner. Most of the entries are for JUST a logo, and not the complete package, so I will get in touch with Freelancer to determine how we can get additional material guaranteed with the prize money.  So the following link is the pool to select from what I think are the eight front runners (I'd have liked to had 10 but eight is the limit).  Many of the front runners submitted multiple designs with various tweaks and most seemed receptive to changes.

Go, vote and lets see if we have a new logo!

https://www.freelancer.com/contest/poll-MTE1NzAwNDox

If you'd like to donate BBP to help defray the costs, my donation address is BGtF8NTiUF3cTMJ62Ps7G1wtYU7sD5nkvG but please give feedback on the contest without feeling any obligation.


Lets recognize this logo contest West is holding for us, and thank West for holding the contest.

THANK YOU WEST!


His donation address is :
BGtF8NTiUF3cTMJ62Ps7G1wtYU7sD5nkvG


At our current market price (.0007), we will need to raise 571,000 biblepay coins to pay for this $400 expense as a community!  (Without waiting til January to create a proposal).  So I think we need to start pitching in on this one so he is reimbursed for his credit card expense.  

Could we please post here, everyone who donates, and West please keep tabs of what you still need and just keep reposting after you receive something in the kitty until the balance is down low enough for it to end.

I just sent 70,000 BBP to West to Kick this off.

Please consider donating for our logo.


20,000BBP has been sent to BGtF8NTiUF3cTMJ62Ps7G1wtYU7sD5nkvG. Thanks for your effort, west Smiley

Upon looking at 427 again, despite being my favourite it seems to have a bit too much going on. If it ends up as community choice perhaps the arching lines between the arms of the cross could be taken out? just a suggestion. What drew me to it is that it looks like it would make the best coin if it were a physical object, but it might not be the best for a cryptocurrency logo. I have an archaic mind I guess Tongue

We can certainly have both, a minimal logo for icons and the like and a complex logo for banners.  That's why I like 450 so much, it has the logo in the bottom right quadrant which could stand alone as the "main logo" for most things but the full logo for banners and the like.  We had over 450 entries so there was a lot that got repeated in different color schemes and a lot of similar ideas, but most the basic logos tended to be just a B with $$ or the like.  Entry 429 lends itself to standalone use. 

In the end I do agree we need a stripped down logo for things like coinmarketcap, but having a deluxe logo is pretty alluring as well.

Talking about a logo brings up deep questions about the project
just some questions to stir thought:

is this a Religious coin or a Charity coin or both?
And if religious, is it only or mainly Christian?
(The source code has the King James Bible inside of it)

What symbols represent the project?
Letter B? BBP? BiblePay?
Cross? World/Globe? Bible? Helping Hands? Heart?
Dove? Angel? Children?

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

I still like 446 the best after being away for a while.

I think we are a charitable DAO as a currency (not touted as a religious currency, as we are open to everyone off the street, atheists, non-believers, lukewarm, non-Christians), actually those are the people I hope to jump in, as over time something might brush off and maybe they will get saved.  The thing is, I think we can make the most impact by setting a good example and bringing people closer to the Bible.  We can lead a horse to water but we cant make them drink. 

  I dont think we should start by forcing Jesus on anyone until they graduate from babies to middle school and then maybe, we have some options here, where we start promoting the Lord of Lords.  Its certainly possible we might already have 10% Buddhists, 10% Hindu, and 10% Muslim using BiblePay.  The main thing I want to accomplish is to cause the user to stumble on some verses, prayers and get their wheels considering which God is the King of Kings.  The most basic principle is to assert that God Exists to an atheist.

So with that being said, its a Charitable DAO, where the founders example was set in Jesus name.  I certainly hope by the time we go live with the sanctuaries that example will rub off on them.  But I dont wish to alienate any new users.  They can expect gentle theological discussions in the community.

BP, BBP? Good question, I dont know of a coin that is known by the trading symbol.  What do you guys think?  One symbol BBP, or BP on the coin and a trading symbol BBP?

I think its good to have the cross, the Christian cross, not the Crusades cross.  Jesus means love and that is what we are doing with our Orphans.  And the angel, children dove and fruit are neat elements even if we have to make them tiny so when we zoom out in the simplistic design (one that cannot be mistaken on a partner web site) the monochrome symbol will clearly be recognized.

And here are the more iconic logos in a 2nd poll.

https://www.freelancer.com/contest/poll-MTE1NzAwNDoy

Out of all the previous ones, 351 and 311 are good. It'll look better with a different font face though.
I personally like minimal designs, my preference for the logo is something that incorporates all the values but not literally embed them all over the logo.
If we want to be a top-50 coin, we need to show the values but also have a modern touch to it.

@bible_pay Any reason for sticking with the current color swatches? I'm sure we can get more creative ones with a little bit of experimentation and creative freedom.
Brighter colors stand out and can help with more discoverability.

Donated 10,000 BBP to west (BGtF8NTiUF3cTMJ62Ps7G1wtYU7sD5nkvG) for the contest. Thanks for your help!

I'm absolutely not tied to a color swatch.   I still like 446 the best though- if the center white line was a little higher and slightly thicker it would make a cross.  If you or anyone wants to make a topic for colors on forum.biblepay.org you can make a topic and poll there and maybe some on-board graphic designer could drop some empty coins in there (with colors) to give us something to vote on.  If not, we can tweak the one that wins in the final week, but we would be sort of flying blind, except for colors gleaned from the example coins.



Hi,



Looking at 351 close up, I think  I do like it.  I was just thinking, if we end up voting for 351, maybe we can put the dove, the angel, the fruit (grapes) and the children inside those shield quadrants?  That would be a pretty nice logo, and vote on the colors on the forum, and change the font to something a little more modern?



Vote on the one you all like please, I think West will receive feedback stars.

Thank you all so much for the donations, I'm proud to be a part of this coin, and hope to be a part of it's success.  Yes, I would like it to enrich me, but I see that if I benefit personally from the coin, the amount of good that can be done via charity will be enormous.  A new logo may help us.  And once again thank you to the Dev for all his hard work, to run the logo contest has been a pleasure!  I hope we can narrow it down by the start of next week and move to the next step of getting the total logo package built and implemented.

Yeah even though I like the actual elements themselves, and the divine slogan, I think Togo has a point - the lettering is possibly cluttering up the design and people might actually like the cleaner look like this one - for it to standout from a distance in partner pages and this one looks very distinct and original:

Out of all of the remaining 8, to me only 446 looks really professional like it might work for us:


In my opinion.

*If* we all were to go with 446, I would think maybe raise the center quadrant bar up higher in the coin to make it look like a cross, and see if the community likes the two current colors (Gold and red) -

In the end the one we pick, we can ask the designer to make one version of the coin with an edge with our divine slogan (just to have it), but the primary usable coin would be the clearer one.

But, being fair, I do like this 446 better than the one we have at least in the sense that we can tailor it a little more with some community thoughts before we receive the delivery (I hope).

West, will this freelancer poll work for us to pick the winner, or do we need a separate poll embedded on forum.biblepay.org?


There are a few other logos out that I have to sift through to start a 2nd poll, will get that done here in the next hour or so and post the link.  As far as picking the winner, the poll is just to help assist, but in the end the contest maker has to hit a button that says "award prize" or something like that.  So, I'd like to have a clear idea of what we like and don't, and get it narrowed down to two or at most three logos, then hit up the designers to make any minor adjustments and get the total design package.

And let me say thanks for all the feedback and support.
