Hey, just wanted to drop by with my entry. I added some color variants to it just so you can see:

Another try. Used a standard font and made adjustments to make it original and give it a better look.
All made in vector format.



Also a version with some depth



My favorite in etalic and a nice 'terminal font' tag line



And something more logo like

oh, i just noticed that your submission does not qualify. you have to ship either hi-res bitmap (1024px+) or a vector file :-)

I will send in the vector file if the design is chosen  Wink

Very nice font.

Thankyou  Smiley

Its a custom font actually, the original one was thinner so I bloated it to match the symbol, also the 'O' is just really two circles with a slight indent Wink

that looks really nice! what's the metaphor for small boxes coming out of the unlocked padlock? :-)

It represents the Block Chain, get it ?  Grin

Its subtle but it also looks like an opened treasure chest  Cool

There's no need to fit the logo for the display. Logo will be used on many other places (website, offline materials, on Trezor casings) and logo on the display may be somewhat simplified (for example just "O" with key hole if some similar concept will be chosen).

Due to the small size of the screen I tought a 8bit style logo would be nice.
It is a 8-bit bitcoin all made from little squares in a a vector file  Tongue

What's the aspect ratio of the hardware screen? Is it useful to have a logo that fits well into it?

Good question. The display is 128x64 pixels, so ratio is 2:1

I added a thicker border and centered the chest.





(There's a white border around the inverted one, it's just impossible to see with a white background  Wink)

I notice all the submissions are using just black and white.
By monochromatic do you also mean that people can use greyscale too ?

No, we mean black and white only i.e. no grayscale ...

If so, knowing the number of levels of grey on the Trezor screen would be useful.

clean and simple. the O represents a lock.



EDIT: I wasn't really happy, so I made this one:

It avoids the : "You have incorporated an idea from MY icon and I still have the rights to it." Say if they want to tweak the winning icon to use, oh I don't know, a particularly nice font rendering.

However, it's not legal (at least in my country).

]by participating in the contest you agree that you waive all your rights related to the logo and that we can use it for our product

even by participating, not only one you will choose and actually pay for? sounds weird to me Smiley

Is it specifically 'trezor' i.e all lower case ?

Ah, no, I'll fix the first post. Acceptable are: "trezor", "Trezor" and "TREZOR".

Also, have you thought what you want to call it in other writing systems ?

Let's stick to latin alphabet for now :-)

I am thinking specifically of Chinese/ Japanese.

For instance, 'treasure' in Simplified Chinese is:



Bǎo

I am not a Chinese speaker so I am sure much nicer transliterations are possible (i.e. using two glyphs to give a "treasure-ey ness").
Personally I think Chinese/ Japanese look better in icons than our rather boring Roman characters.

Hi all!

We are in a need of catchy logo for Trezor: Bitcoin Hardware Wallet - see http://trezor.bitcoin.cz/ for more info (atm redirects to its thread on this forum).

Rules:
  • submissions must be posted to this thread before Friday 25th January 20:00 UTC
  • submissions must contain graphical logo and the text "trezor" or "Trezor" or "TREZOR" (text can be part of the graphical logo)
  • submissions must be monochromatic (i.e. containing only black and white color)
  • submissions must contain a link to either a SVG vector file (preferred) or a high resolution bitmap (at least 1000x1000 pixels)
  • we reserve the right not to pick any submission
  • we reserve the right to edit the chosen submission to fit our needs
  • by participating in the contest you agree that you waive all your rights related to the logo and that we can use it for our product

Some additional info:
The brand logo should associate security, reliability, something safe, not easy to break, strongness, power. It can also associate treasure, things of high value. It should feel strong, safe and reliable, heavy and secure. It should differentiate from other bitcoin related brand names.

Thank you for your time and effort!
