Hi coinsolidation, i want give you just an advice, "BM" is literally too "anonimous" how brand. Sad

Instead "MARK" is so cool, I invite you to reflect on this change. Wink

I love this:

ADD Today i'm in good form:

Keep it up!

That does look pretty sharp. I'm not sure what type of branding consolidation has in mind though. I know he's put a lot of thought into his vision though.

Bitmark has upgraded to use QT 4.8.6 when cross compiled for linux, rather than 4.6.4 which is now two years old.

This now allows bitmark-qt to be used on CentOS 6.5 without error, and also improves general rendering.

This is a deviation from Bitcoin which uses 4.6.4, we have opened an issue on the bitcoin repository to suggest they may consider upgrading qt4 in the release process.

I'd like to thank macbackfat for his extensive help in testing on various platforms.

Goodbusy

I might say!
Finally a scrypt coin for the modern scrypt miner with some great thoughts behind it and some real knowledge.
+1

Thank you for your kind words. We are moving ahead with development and have almost secured enough budget to launch the main chain with stable nodes.

In the next few days we'll have real Bitmarks being mined.

I cannot specify an exact date yet, as after further development we will need to do one more pre-release.

I saw that, which is what I was going for with the 'f.' Unfortunately, almost no fonts have that unicode symbol built into them.

Very nice.

To me, I like the last version on each row

My preference is the monochrome version of the first version.

I would like to hear what you and others think.

Thank you.

+1 on the white/monochrome with the gradient. That looks nice.

Yeah, I can do that. I originally started with the letters lined up, but thought that particular combination of letters looked weird.

If it helps http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pfennig .. there is a lot of historical usage, including a previously used currency symbol which has it's own unicode symbol.

Here's a white text/monochrome version:

And alternate fonts:

A logo for Pfenning, a simple "Pf" (uppercase P, lowercase f), 1024x1024 in png, any color but I personally like something dark for this, almost black.

Something like this? http://s29.postimg.org/pa9fjicxf/pfennig.png

Thank you, this is a good start.

I don't want to feel like an omnipotent leader here, but can we try white instead of yellow, and a second variant with "Pf" non-italicized with bases aligned, and finally, a monochromatic version (black and white).

You are in luck.

I have a handful of CentOS based VMs (6.4 to be exact) that I can put through the mill with the pre-compiled binaries. I'll let you know how it works out.

Talk to me more about the Fedora task.

I'm more of a CentOS man but the core is, literally, the same thing.
You need someone to build the server and client components on it?

Yes, I currently don't have an rpm based linux distribution setup as vm or physical machine as I've migrated to debian across the board.
Building is of secondary concern, of primary concern is ensuring the cross compiled binaries provided for linux available under the pre-release work on either fedora or centos.
If you have a headless distro then fire up bitmarkd and see if it works. If a gui variant then bitmark-qt.

Thank you for your extensive testing macbackfat.

coinsolidation/mymenace: Can we get the vector version of the logo uploaded to the Github repo? This will make future designs easier.

I've built two more coin logo options with a little cleaner font usage and more desaturated purple. If you like either of them, I can tweak anything you'd like, and make a branding guide for it.

Thank you, your efforts are appreciated, with the future in mind we have found that BMK is already used by financial institutions, "B" is used by the obvious, and so we reduced to two characters "BM" for the icon, and "BTM" for the currency code. I must confess that I am happy with the current logo and alternatives provided by mymenace.

Would you mind if I asked you to divert any attention you are willing to give to something else?

We have two current needs graphically:

The word "Bitmark" for a full logo to use on headers and the website. example - our existing icon can be found here the alternative glossy logo is also fine to use as an icon prefix
A logo for Pfenning, a simple "Pf" (uppercase P, lowercase f), 1024x1024 in png, any color but I personally like something dark for this, almost black.

Any efforts you may make towards either of these would be greatly appreciated.
