1. Why does Mooncoin need a new logo at all? I have not read a single really valid reason.
2. Since when has been Discord - or whatever it is called - an official outlet of information for MOON? It seems a group of newbies tries to pull the interest over to that channel. For whatever reason, we don't know.
3. It seems that Discord needs a registration only to read. A no-go, to be accepted as an official source of information.
4. It looks like a small group of MOON-newbies is trying to see a "logo-contest" as what is needed for MOON "to survive". Think about what really can be done for MOON, instead of that logo-kindergarten.
In my opinion the original MOON-logo created by deaconboogie is the one and only logo that is needed, which may be optimized slightly, OK, but not now. Regarding this, I'm of the same opinion as another long-term contributor: agswinner. Other serious long-term supporters have expressed their opinion about this needless logo-rave also. There are really more important things to do, than a new logo.
1. We were rocking this yellow logo up to earlier this year:
Then the placeholder blue ellipse came up. A lot of people complained about it looking too simple and not professional enough. So Evangelo, the marketing director at the time, initiated a vote. So in the discord community, a vote was cast and people overwhelmingly agreed on a logo change. The vote was also advertised on this ANN but the owner of the main website has gone rogue. As he made the blue ellipse. This totally killed our momentum and halted a lot of development. So we're trying to get this logo thing over asap now.
2. A group of newbies? Stop the insults man. It is a serious community set up by Zareeth a while back. It has gained a lot of traction and there are many active Mooncoin HODL'ers in there. It's a great breeding place for Mooncoin-related projects and it has been warmly embraced by the main dev Barrystyle and the former marketing director Evangelo. As Moon is decentralized, there is no official. So I would in no way call the discord official, nor this ANN. All I can say is that it is the biggest most active community.
3. Again, not the main source of information. Also, important updates regarding the coin are also posted to the discord's website - which everyone can read - at
http://www.moonchan.org. We also post to our Twitter:
https://twitter.com/_Mooncoin and our Reddit:
http://reddit.com/r/MoonCoin/.
4. This is completely unfounded non-sense. The vote was initiated by the former Marketing Director, embraced by both this ANN and the Discord community. Neither Evangelo nor the members part of the Discord community are 'newbies'. Nor do they see this as 'THE WAY' to let Moon survive. Like I said before, the Discord is a breeding place for creativity. Thanks to the combined efforts of the users in there, we have a agreement with a gaming studio about including Mooncoin in the game's marketplace. A Tibia server is being started that handles payments through Mooncoin. A marketplace for Mooncoin is being set up, where users can open up a store and sell merchandise and other stuff for Mooncoin. We are thoroughly testing the new Algo and Moonlite. So yea, the Discord community is doing a lot of good for this coin.
So please stop the fudding of the Discord channel as you clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Also, if I recall correctly, Agswinner wants the blue ellipse to stay, not the old logo by deaconboogie.
