i don't think that BTC logo (orange one) itself is a problem. We just need more shiny buttons an icons for people to use.

I don't know about shiny. The industry is moving away from all that bling and shininess and trying to imitate real world materials and stuff like that. Things are moving toward, well, this:

The problem with BTC is that isn't the easiest thing to hand write.

After years of using a keyboard I noticed that everything isn't the easiest thing to hand write. Roll Eyes

Have you guys forgotten about this?: http://www.ecogex.com/bitcoin/
Building a new brand identity requires starting from the ground up, and I think getting rid of the BTC is the first thing to do. (No offense to theymos, who created the nice little forum button for that symbol.)

I think the alternate 'Ƀ' is far more desirable because it is less obvious and less likely to confuse with (for instance) the thai baht, and others.

Ƀ is also extremely very ugly compared to BTC.
฿ and BTC looks similar? I absolutely don't think so.
So where do we have to pay to stop the nonsense and keep the old one?

Additionally it is unlikely that the community will adopt it. There is already so much material centered towards the old logos.

The absolutely biggest problem I have with the old logos is I can never find a high resolution image.

it has been available as a vector version for ages.

paying for a bitcoin logo in usd is ridiculous.

For the persons complainting about the current logo not existing in high resolution, here it is in SVG.

The problem was low resolution. That problem was solved. Unless there is another problem ("pancakes" just seems like an issue of personal taste, which is no reason to redesign) reinvention for reinvention's sake is not a good use of time or money..

This thread inspired some sketching. I could easily develop these ideas or others in Illustrator if I had some more bitcoins. Wink

I don't know, old logo is good enough for me, I guess it's already recognized very well. This reminds me of the Moneybookers changing it's name to Scrill and everybody still say Moneybookers. However, I understand urge to change and to be different, for the same reason I have created my personal logo which represent me on this forum.

I suggest holding a logo design contest on 99designs.

It's good place to get some professional looking logos for a good price. Minimum award is $300. I think we should be able to collect that much.

The advantage of using 99designs is that we can access a much bigger pool of (semi)professional designers than by just posting a bounty on this forum. We will also have several designs to pick from and we can do a community vote to decide the winner.

I've not seen a design competition as high as $300 here before, why not try to bring the designers to this community instead of outsourcing the project?

Something along these lines?

Maybe, "BITCOIN. The Fed Mutilator."

Or something.

I would've uploaded it to the wiki, but it didn't let me because it doesn't allow SVG files to be uploaded Roll Eyes

Whatever I do get produced, if enough people pledge, will be released in high resolution, with psd sources.

Hmm, this sounds like a no-brainer to me. It is fairly easy to vectorize those logos, or it should be achievable at least with some (professional) skill/effort.

To me, additional logo seems more and more like waste of good resources... But you can vote with your wallet.
