99 designs is a good one to use.
I think if the colors were a little different it would work better.
Yes,
In my opinion, the 9 out of 10 people would choose many logos made at 99 designs, at a $300 bounty, over that one.
Yes, I believe it is really really bad. I AM SORRY TO OFFEND THE TOP GUYS HERE, as obviously you voted on it, but I can't see how.
But anyway, those are my thoughts, is that the logo that we are going to use? If so, lets just move on to better things if all we are doing is bash a logo that is now ours. LOL
No offense taken. This is an interim logo designed to give us consistent branding, and it is better than the original one UP created I think
Once we move on and get bigger, we should be able to attract some great designers to work with us and improve everything. Right now we are just moving into alpha, so we are still a young movement.
I personally like the logo, though. It is very different from other crypto coins and I like having a symbol rather than text, because we are a global movement and not everyone uses Latin letters.
I thought we were going to vote on a logo after the submissions we narrowed down.
The intentions and meanings are great, but visually it's too much. In my opinion, something simple and unique would be better, like the hexagon/cube logo on the investor handout.
I can't help but think of this old cartoon.
We are hoping that publicity from the alpha will help us attract people who can help us improve our overall design.
@coinsy: The logo isn't THAT bad. It's really different from other coin logos, so hopefully it can help make NEM stand out, because we are a movement and not just another crypto currency. With the imminent release of the alpha, it was important to come together and provide visual consistency for NEM, so we created this logo. It is just the first step towards building the image of our young movement.
The logo kit is available on trello:

EDIT:
Just so everyone is clear, the community will decide on the final logo/branding/look and feel of NEM before the V1. We are a movement of people working together, so let's work together and discuss as a community what we need/want. If you haven't already, please read the logo explanation:
https://github.com/makoto1337/NEMlogos/raw/master/logos/NEMlogo_v7_explanation.pdf and spend a few days thinking about what NEM means to you personally and how you would represent this
