Should we have a vote on the most preferred logo? I can hold one if the development team is too busy to do that. Never mind the last comment about "sperms" but seriously don't blow the community's opinion away.
Do what is best for the community. Logo should be accompanied with an explanation behind it. And remember, NEM
IS NOT A COIN per se. It is an ecosystem we are building and should not just look like a coin.
Creativity must therefore stem from the philosophy of this project in totality.
That's why I said giving the texts to a designer and let he does the magic. I don't understand other half of your reply which is not relevant to my request.
Everyone has a circle of competency. Be frank if I may, the logo in the current form is put together by someone not competent at making logos. There is a lack in color harmony, form and originality.
Or hold a logo competition so best designers can compete to represent your ideas.
Totally agree to have a logo competition. In fact, I cannot adapt to every single request on logo design because this work take much time, also it's not ensured at all that everyone will all accept that revision.
It's not a good move to announce the official logo when it's not yet finished.
If we're gonna change the logo later, why don't we choose the most beautiful & professional one since consistent professional image is more important than a wordy meaningful story that could be updated later, imho?
And yes, as a designer, I'm really sad to have my original design changed by another one, especially when it looks not as good as the original one.
