Let me know what you think. Personally, I think I'm moving in the right direction design wise, these are the kinds of logos which will help make Monero a huge hit by helping it distinguish itself from simple "coins"
edit: I definitely think the "M" used is very distinctive for the official Monero "M"
Wow
First 2 look epic!
I think most of you guys are a bit too fixated on "coins". Reading through through the Monero thread, it feels a bit like Darkcoin at the beginning, technology first, design second, which is a good thing if you ask me. Monero is more than just another "coin" it seems, it needs to have a distinctive professional logo which inspires confidence. Here are my first two quick concepts which I'm going to be working on. The colors and designs aren't final (at all) so I'll be putting more work into them with feedback from this thread.
And one which is a lot easier to recognize but still retains a unique character (monero font isn't final)

Im loving what you have come up with. You are definitely in the right direction. I have some feedback though. Monero emphasizes on being the most anonymous currency till now. Every transaction is completely stealth. Would like to see some privacy inspired design. Like someone did a shield design. And yeah, would love to see something in combination of gray with red,blue or green
Are those simply colours you like or are they from some other logo? As far as the padlocks and shields, we went through all that on the new darkcoin logo, it didn't look too good after all was said and done but I'll try something new.

I would suggest not to add the word "coin" on the logo.
"monero + coin" is a pleonasm... (something like "money coin"
And the word "coin" is confusing because we are not dealing with physical coins, just "money"

First thought here is that I've won something. I feel like I'm winning every time I look at this. Even better is that nothing about the image says that there's a catch, just pure winning
The texturing on your second one makes me think of a record. Nobody can put down that they sound the best.
The eye thing is kind of awkward for me. Any reason you put it there? Looks clean though!
I agree about eye, made it less active for convenience. "M" crossed out or closes the eye (supervision). It represents the anonymity of transactions in the system.
From simple to complex:)

The de-emphasis revision brings out the M much better! I'm no longer constantly looking at the eye
This might shift the undertone to that of being constantly watched for some though, but as usual it's probably just me that has that thought.
I like the highlighted 'one', that's fantastic. Nice play here includes the sign being MRO, and that 'one' is left just works nice in my head. Like MRO is designed for me.
Out of the three, #1 stands out the most.
I like the green esperanto and the metallic lock logo.
The green esperato logo is really stylish and reference to esperanto. Great!
The idea of a lock in the logo is also nice Can't decide at the moment

Can't decide at the momentColoring like Stablecoin! This makes me feel like the nostalgia is now within my reach. SBC made similar promises to what this coin offers, but the dev was unfortunately not able to deliver due to life taking precedence.
This with the over-emphasized M makes me feel like I'm taking part in something big, powerful and exciting.
Here my 2nd submission. A bit more metallic and minimalistic:

I like that the image in the center can be taken as both a B for bitmonero, or M for monero, or E for esperanto. It's got a nice symmetry to it that I can easily identify to all three of those things -- this is key for a logo. Have you thought about varying the colors? The green-on-green looks doesn't contrast great and would be harder to see what the logo is at smaller resolutions. Also, I feel like the green-white or full green look I see come up a lot has already been played out with Vertcoin.
I'm really not following you with the hat . . could you explain this a little more? I'm not seeing the symbolism.
Awesome ideas!
Tomorrow I will try to recolor it maybe, but - unlike you - I don't immediately get associations with Vertcoin as long as it is not white-green or dark green
The hat thingy: FOr me anonymity got always represented with either a padlock or a black person with a hat and maybe a question mark all over the face, like this

I got it now, it's been a long time since I've seen that image though. We could totally bring it back! Thanks for explaining.
Yeah, I was being a little too into it when I said that it reminds me with Vertcoin .. more that it reminds me of St. Patrcik's Day .. makes me associate with luck, and of course money
The new color scheme you have makes me think futuristic, which is pretty great!
Made a revision to the mask logo -- think it looks cleaner than the last one:

I think this change makes the face look sexy/alluring rather than intimidating, definitely an improvement with the friendly matching "monero". Just an idea here -- every time I see the letter "B" now I think of bitcoin. Anyone think that it would be beneficial to claim the "M" or "m" in a similar fashion? Is that already done?
The mask is pretty cool, immediately can associate with parts of the protocol that makes the coin.
What happened here? It looks like the middle of the picture is missing?
A problem with hoster ?

Yes, I think it was a problem with the hoster. It shows up now.
I'm drawn to your key-design, not really sure why. It looks great -- maybe the metallic look and the happy looking shape of the M?
The way you designed the shield design makes me think of warner brothers. It's a cool look, but I still think of them first.
Personally that is just fine for me
How about this: clean and serious, suggesting ideas like transmission, electricity, speed, and ephemerality.
looks like the new myriad logo
