Interesting thing about this symbol. Actually a few things stand out.

But one of them is the fact we won't have to ever switch symbols like Bitcoin will if I'm right and one day IXC will have it's symbol switched to XIC.

Cause this symbol could easily read both ways.

Quite brilliant and forward thinking if you think about it.

Man, SuperZeus hit it with that idea and newsflesh, you nailed it with the refinement.

I like bottom one the best.  It feels like it needs something more, like maybe a difference in size or thickness, like maybe make the i a bit thicker than the =.

And slant it to the left a little, maybe 33%.

Looks great?


Edit:  what about the dot on the i, should we use a circle? The contrast in shape may look good.

That's very interesting and I think it works.  It's an i with 2 lines through it basically but it looks like an X and so iX.

That's great.

Now if we can get it to shine a bit and make it look more apple-esque.  And cut that angle down to maybe 33 degrees from 45 degrees.  The slant is a bit too much I think.

Thanks!

That concept draft is pretty near the limit of my graphics skill and software, so I will leave it to others if they want try to style it up to make a winning version.

SuperZeus,

Can you do a quick sketch by hand showing what you mean?

Cause I'm a bit confused now about what you're trying to depict.

Thanks!

For the combo iX character idea, how about using two lines, '//', for the bar that crosses the 'i'.  That would make the character an 'i', an 'X', and an '=' combined.


I'm not sure what you mean, I'm not picturing what you're depicting.

Cross over an 'i' with an '=', tilt them 45 degrees, you have an 'X'.





Ok, I see.  But you'd have an X with two lines on one side.  

That would be an interesting way to incorporate the = sign cause I've looked how it looks putting an = sign on an X and it just doesn't look very good or natural regardless of where you put it.

The idea would be to make the '=' symbol equal to the 'i' in thickness and length.  Stylize it so the '=' makes you think of a
 single bar as well as an '='.


An example of integrating the '=' is the euro currency symbol which has the '=', replacing the middle bar of the 'E'.

Can I get some opinions on which letter most of you prefer?

Is it the i or the X?

The X has the benefit of allowing us to integrate 2 letters within it, the i and the X combined.



So can I get a quick vote of who prefers the overall look of an X or an i?  


That way we can focus more creative energy on that one particular letter.


Thanks!

I favor the crossed I symbol as well.

The red on black IX could work, but it needs something.

Dexter's third X is viable.



Dexter's third symbol is the crossed i, I believe.

So far I like

Cinnamon's Chrome X but would like to see it reversed and with a dotted i, integrating iX into one letter, X.

The i, DeadSea posted (the cross i)

And


The red on black iX but it needs to be changed in size and shape.


In that order.

And people also need to vote on which letter they'd prefer overall:  i, X or the integrated iX.


We need more people to give their opinions.  Remember, this symbol will be the face of iXcoin, GLOBALLY.  It's very important we get it right.


Cheers!

Here's one of Cinnamon's designs which I missed.

I cut out the i cause I really like the X.

Try imagining this in a mirror image with the thin side on the left side but shorter and with a dot on a small i.

And maybe remove the sparkle but leave the smooth, clean apple-esque look.

The way I see it in my head it looks great.







Edit:  And maybe add a small slant to it?

Or maybe we need something very simple to memorise

Out of those 3 I like the look and simplicity of the bottom one, the i [that looks like a cross].

If people prefer to use an i over an X or iX then it looks pretty good to me.

note i do not want the bounty, many of the logos posted look great,

just for fun i made these two , I posted them to my (secondary) not main twitter account to show to Vlad !!

Wow, that's beautiful.

But it's looking like the top choice is not the i or the X alone but rather an i forming the X, so iX combined.

Trying to picture that i and X combined but I am artistically declined.  ; )
