Something like this maybe:

But instead of the dog, it's craig wright. Grin
You could put a Bitcoin logo in the background and a text saying, Bitcointalk.org, a place to be free!

Here are some examples of QR that lead to the site bitcointalk.org (official site).

 
i was thinking more like a logo in which the QR would fit in BTC
not a Square one to be honest! then it's just a QR Code... not a logo
i tried but as the logo is small you can't actually scan the whole thing... shows error

This one is best.


But in all seriousness, I do not think the logo should be anything more or less than the original Bitcoin symbol. I think we should preserve the originality.

Everything else seems like an "altcoin version" of the forum.

In case it helps anybody, an idea of mine implemented in 15 minutes in Photoshop (sorry, LoyceV, I'm not so good in MSPaint)
Maybe it gives an idea to actual artists:



However, all done in MSPaint is also a valid idea.

After some minor MS Paint Editing, here's my version:
 


With my poor editing, I think it reinforces the fact we are talking about Bitcoin, our orange mutual friend.
Someone should redo this with proper vectorial images before using it.

One night, this whole idea of Bitcointalk logo and bitcointalk token occurred to me. I pondered deeply about it. Finally, I discarded the whole idea. I really think that
  • We don't need any other coin but Bitcoin
  • We don't need any other logo but Bitcoin logo BTC
  • I believe Satoshi created this forum to promote Bitcoin and not to compete with it in any kind or work in isolation. Any of the above can be created in a good faith, but I doubt the future generation will handle it. It may become counter productive to the whole system.

I agree with you, but on the other hand, I don't see anything wrong in having new bitcointalk logo, its true Satoshi created the forum to promote his work, but then, nobody knows if he or they, are still here with us, he or they probably have handed the forum to the bitcoin community and I believe a little upgrade in the logo to something that speaks more or less of what we do here wouldn't be a bad idea.

And speaking of logo, I think the first logo from ibminer would do a great job representing bitcointalk....
Though I think majority of the discussions here are jokes, but if this is to be taken serious, then I would suggest the forum should launch a competition or contest of who would come out with the best and next bitcointalk logo, a thread can be created where contestants can post their work and those who can not participate will vote on their favorite, at the end, the logo with the most votes wins the contest and the creator take the title of "Bitcointalk logo creator De 2nd🥈" Grin

Can anyone make a logo which contain a QR code which will redirect to the official web?
So far there are many sites that can help you generate a QR code that points to the bitcointalk.org site. You can create one with a logo, but you may have to pay a small fee for the service.

Try doing so here, but please verify your own privacy and security if you wish to use this site: https://www.qr-code-generator.com/

Here are some examples of QR that lead to the site bitcointalk.org (official site).

Is this purposefully awful? With all the respect.
I was expecting the first page to be filled with slobbering praise, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see the emperor being told he ain't wearin' no fackin' clothes almost immediately.

That's no bitcointalk logo; that's the bitcoin logo tilted and defaced with MS Paint or whatever.  Where's the "cointalk" addition to the BTC, which is what would make it scream "BITCOINTALK" instead of just confusing people?  I read your rationale for what you drew there, Cyrus, but I've never been into modern art and all the nuances baked into the art pieces that aren't obvious to the casual viewer's eyes.  A bitcointalk logo should very clearly represent what the logo stands for, IMO.

That said, I've got no art game and wouldn't even be able to improve upon that....thing.

Can anyone make a logo which contain a QR code which will redirect to the official web?
Hmm.  That might not be a bad idea.

Until now I have never gotten a 404 in the forum, I explain myself to avoid misunderstandings, in that sense.

It references the liberal and hacky BitcoinTalk way, a bold BBCode tag all in a "Magic Internet Money" vibe but in a minimalist way. It's upper left defies the border intentionally, just as Bitcoin.
You could reproduce it by hand and it would mean the same thing - it would actually be cool to see it copied in different ways.
Idea you had for new BitcoinTalk logo is cool but I think it needs more work and refinement.
We have quite a few active designers in forum and they can try making small updates and post designs for voting and feedback.

Here is my quick update of your logo, that was made in few minutes, and I would like to see something like this on t-shirts and hats Wink

If we ever migrate to the new forum software then are we going to change the logo concept again 😉

I would suggest a typographic logo.
A logo is an identity that takes years to build. When I have the name bitcointalk in head, I imagine font-family: Verdana, sans-serif with the text "Bitcoin Forum" as it is now. You can just improve it if you like. Make it just "Bitcoin Talk", or "BitcoinTalk" or "Bitcoin Talk Forum" or "BitcoinTalk Forum" or replace the B with ₿ and keep the rest same. As for tagline you can add "Magic Internet Money" or your do not even need that at all. What I am saying is think something typographic.

That's an error for sure and thanks for calling me to it. It's Cyrus and it would be edited right away.


That makes me curious what Newbies who don't know the history think about this logo. Usually logos have sharp hard lines and give a "professional impression".
This is far from anything professional and although, it depeats all that was to be talked about in the supposed theme but, its way too boring to have that all cramped in one photo. It's more like a meme than a logo but, I'm sure it was done out of enthusiasm for the evolving field and in an attempt to make everything perfect/analytical but sadly, that's not all there is about logos. Having a simple but iconic look goes too. I think we are getting a lot better now.

The reference to Magic Internet Money:
After thinking it over for a day, I now get why you made a logo that looks so ..... let's call it unprofessional. But I don't think the Magic Internet Money image got it's status instantly, and even though it was created long before I joined Bitcoin(talk), I don't think anyone back then would have guessed it's still in use 9 years later.

That makes me curious what Newbies who don't know the history think about this logo. Usually logos have sharp hard lines and give a "professional impression".

I like that. At least it encompasses the "talk" in the forum. For me, that has to show because it's the essential of this forum. @ibminer's sample is also cool (even though it's from way back in 2019) as even quoted here by the same user above. Both logos show relevance to the forum in reference to the "talk" so to say. 👇
