Hi Everyone,
Sorry, I just noticed this thread.
I just put up the original designs here
http://litecoindeveloper.com/ltc-designs/At the bottom of the page there is a link for original versions (design evolution, so to speak). The main design (known as 6a) has won the majority vote of developers involved in the Litecoin project. (That was like a year ago!).
Glad to see this come back.
On the page you will find a link to a ZIP file, which contains 6a images and an Adobe Illustrator vector file. You are free to use this as you like.
A bit about the design:
- Binary numbers represent (unixtime) date of the litecoin genesis block
- Continents - represent global access
- Computer Processor & Circuitry - represents the tools of the miners
- Hammers - represents mining (traditional mining logo)
From my personal perspective, Litecoin is the only other cryptocurrency that has a potential to become a viable alternative/supplemental currency to Bitcoin. I view Litecoin as a cryptocurrency of miners. Miners are true pioneers of cryptocurrency, they are the people who in the early days invested their time, money and effort to protect Bitcoin. As Bitcoin mining gets monopolized by ASIC manufacturers, Litecoin provides a safe heaven where instead of getting rid of their mining equipment by selling it at a loss, they can re-target it to protect the Litecoin network. And that, on my belief will inevitably create a market for it's use. Also, the currency is fair for newcomers, many of whom heard about cryptocurrency only in recent months due to the "Bitcoin boom". They still have a chance to participate, whereas with Bitcoin you have to pay huge amounts of money, stand in queues for months to receive something that you are not even certain about in terms of ROI as it is pretty hard to predict the rise in difficulty.
This is my personal opinion, agree or disagree, but this is why the coin designs have circuitry on the left side. This circuitry represents YOU people.
Cheers!
P.S. If you are a developer and have done interfacing with litecoin or bitcoin daemons in any language, please contribute to my development tutorials at
