Sorry my comment unintentionally came across as belittling you, but I actually liked your design myrkul. Simple and sleek. I was actually intending to just make fun of this newbie peak for being so late in the game.
I didn't take it that way, but thanks for apologizing anyway.
[facepalm]. Wow. This brings back memories of July 2010 when this thread was started almost a year ago. People think they're clever by adding a new curve or slash to a "b" or extending a previous design with an extra loop or rotating. Wow. That's all I can say.
All I'm saying is, do your homework. That was my design I posted, and there's another guy who actually uses a much better version as his avatar.

I prefer Ƀ
However when I used that on my website, it wasn't rendering in my compatibility testing on a virtual machine with IE6, Firefox 2 and Chrome - just showed up as a square box or a ?
Firefox 4+ renders it fine.
so I use ฿ on my site because it shows up properly on default installs of all browsers I tested.

I don't think include any "dot" in the character is a good idea since people will write the character somewhere.
Here is my design, a vertical line with a spiral. and looks like "b" in a circle, and will be very easy to write.

Gee... that looks familiar... where did I see that... Oh yeah. Back in the first couple of pages:

I'm curious, anyone see any objection to using ß as the symbol? I've actually been using that for weeks in private conversations with friends regarding bitcoins... And everyone seems to have no trouble with understanding what I mean when I put in, say, ß2.50, while talking about price or mining and stuff like that.
+1, the beta symbol was the first thing that came to mind for me too. I think it works personally

lately it's been /b/ xD
My vote is still for ฿ 
Bitcoins are worth more than the Thai baht! 
Considering how many people use $, we certainly deserve to be able to use ฿.
+1 Bitcoins are worth more than the Thai baht! Considering how many people use $, we certainly deserve to be able to use ฿.Dude, it has been almost a month since the last post on May 26, and all you can say is "+1"?

I still would rather if we managed to get the b'at into the official Unicode standard, but the B with stroke is definitly growing on me
Voted for Ƀ.
You should remember that ฿ is already in use!
Bitcoin: Ƀ
And see this too: http://www.ecogex.com/bitcoin/

yeah, i like the Ƀ symbol too
Wavering back and forth between Ƀ and β, but either way, I really like bitboy's graphics. So heres bitboy's logo with Ƀ:
Maybe he will eventually become active on the forums once again, and remake it better than I can.

i like the 8 with a line through it
I support Ƀ.
β is already used enough in math. (We should avoid any Greek letter in fact)
Ƀ isn't seen so often and consequently an association between the symbol and Bitcoin can easily be made.

I've decided to throw my support behind:
Ƀ
I just changed the currency symbol on SquareWear (when you put the currency selector on bitcoin) and put the new "bitcoin accepted" logo in my footer. I have a few of the other logos in shirts I sell, but that's okay for now.

I've been feeling the β lately, so here's my mediocre take on the logo:
Obviously based on bitboy's work.
