Actually, can you sharpen the second one up a bit and use the cool "speed trail" on the top of the F from the first logo instead of the simple one on the bottom?
Then it would be perfect.
Next stop, the website... who can make that look more professional?

Alright,
It comes off as really plain and simple, similar to the current BTC generally accepted logo. If it is being use for anything other than a massive round object I think the top text needs to go. The weight is way too thin and non-legible at nearly any size.
The F should just be put dead center, it looks like it might be center but the text is throwing my eye off.
If you want to go even more simple you could remove some of the fast flare and just have two on the bottom.
You could spice it up with some minimal gradient, inner shadows, drop shadows, or something else.

Here is a more simplified version I made very quickly to show what I mean.
Nice,
Thank you for your input Ohiwastedmylif,
You put a interesting and simple adjustment to it, I think this is great that we can have this creative process bring out these creative suggestions.
Any chance you can enlarge your picture a bit, I like to compare it with the original Apple to Apple like.

I totally just deleted the file without saving it sorry, haha.
It is more about the small size comparison anyways. If it will work for a favicon or a QT/Wallet icon those sort of things.
Excellent, thank you very cool, I like it already!
/C
I like these very much, in particular, the second one.

cheers Guys
I like the idea of the coin staying gold tbh
I think to avoid the copper idea, as why make it the poor kid before it even gets up and running
even when all the coins are mined there wouldn't even be enough of them for every american to get 1 coin!
I think the number of coins is a solid number, too small and you you have this problem of 0.000001 etc, only so much consumer will take
make it it's own standalone coin from outset, is already one of oldest alts lol
bottomline bitcoin logo was never 'designed', just happened from net community, like twitter logos
if people into fatcoin then logos will just appear on peoples sites and they will make so keep an eye out. but please lose the cheetah really soon!
just my opinion about the copper thing is not good, would have need to been stated from day one and would hold it back,
feathercoin had a more classy attitude i think by saying they didnt compete with bitcoin and litecoin but there to compliment and see what happens
a lot can be learned from feathercoin rollout, good and bad
I would also add the wallet on google docs is crazy, is the only zip haven't been able to configure, and have about 6 coin icons on my lappy
needs a decent configured zip that just instantly starts once doubleclicked after download like all other coins, AND needs to be downloaded off github
to give more credibility
also forum on fastcoin.ca is good idea but i couldn't join up as dont have any of those social networking accounts.
please make so you can join up with username and email like everywhere else?
cheers

Thanks Guido
We appreciate your input. I also like your idea of Red, or even Copper! I like to think BitCoin is Gold, LiteCoin is Silver, and FastCoin could be the Copper coin!
All of the other Alt Coin's I don't think can make that distinction, they are variant in so many ways and have a particular theme. I believe if FastCoin can be recognized globally as the Copper Crypto Coin, we could bring quite a bit of attention to it.
Red for Fast, Red for Copper, it would nicely round up the three in similar fashion, each being generic and each having a close association to traditional money...
Best Regards

I like the copper idea! But the fast part needs to stay, that is the key part of this coin, the near instant conformations .. and still manageable one it grows the block chain. I like the cheetah use also. Hard to make a cheetah look like a clean design...

some good ideas above
sorry I posted in old thread
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/250-free-fastcoins-giveaway-contest-243084
as you can see I am not talented in design like ohiwastedmylif
but I like this style of 'f'
i know my coin looks crappy, just may spark some thoughts in one of the many talented designers on this forum
also just to add my input, the logo above by ohiwastedmylif looks fab what he did in 5 minutes
i am not so sure about that colour orange though, as to similar to bitcoin
how about a more gold colour and the 'f' in red?
or even a red coin with white f
red for speed

this new logo reminds me fast & furious movies and Formula 1 logo.... its nice but no represent the fast idea i think husain bolt would be a better logo 
July 15, 2013, 02:41:43 PM
i like the current logo better than the orange one.... I say keep the cheetah, maybe do binary code for fast coin instead of stars around the edge. i have something in mind but im no graphics software expert. just dont do the orange one ... too much like BTC and too much orange
Thanks CryptoBullion,
Send us what you have and we can post it, we look forward to what you may have in mind.

Yes I know, I'm just more of a idealist... I don't want to get mired down in the detail. Other people are far better at the detail than I am, and they will do a far better job at it than myself. I like planting seeds.. not caring for the plants one they sprout and grow. I hope you win the contest or someone else with another great design, I hope it gets the creative juices flowing.
Oh... you are one of those horrible bosses, haha.
I didn't know there was a contest, I was just providing my insight into the design. I can enter it if someone links the thread.

LOL , sadly no, I'm not a boss of anyone besides myself... I just know when other people are better at their roles than I am.
The difference between a bad boss and a good boss is vision.. Bad bosses don't provide vision.. title or not, that is all that matters, if no one can provide a vision, the goal is lost... Ironically my bosses come to me for definition of vision, but I am not a boss of anyone.. I'm sure you understand that. That is why I like open source stuff, it is a realm of people that step up and make stuff happen. Evolution of a idea, the end may not be the beginning, but it is usually a step forward.

But, I have a team of graphic designers for that at work.. why would I need Photoshop at home... Yeah, I know I should... But I'd rather not fund Adobe for the few times I need it for my personal use. Maybe when they start accepting crypto currency I'll buy there product or my personal use. I'm just glad I sprouted some ideas.
Plenty of free alternatives out there if you really want something

I like the revamp.. I'm no graphic designer by trade, I'm a video editor and shooter. But yes I , made that first one based on the BTC logo and other trends today , basic, simplified and clean.
I don't even have Photoshop.. But, I figured some one else with better skillz than myself would be inspired and take it to the next level.. and you did, cant wait to see what comes of it.

Editor here. You should probably get Photoshop!

Alright,
It comes off as really plain and simple, similar to the current BTC generally accepted logo. If it is being use for anything other than a massive round object I think the top text needs to go. The weight is way too thin and non-legible at nearly any size.
The F should just be put dead center, it looks like it might be center but the text is throwing my eye off.
If you want to go even more simple you could remove some of the fast flare and just have two on the bottom.
You could spice it up with some minimal gradient, inner shadows, drop shadows, or something else.

It is more about the small size comparison anyways. If it will work for a favicon or a QT/Wallet icon those sort of things.
