Topic: [Open contest] Bitcoin flag design (Read 6109 times)
hmm.. the contest of awkward silences.
i can has win?
For the record, I didn't organize the contest. Sorry for giving that impression… But I do think that's the general sentiment here.
Edit: If you don't win the contest, I'll throw you a bitcoin
kk i understand entirely Edit: If you don't win the contest, I'll throw you a bitcoin
as soon as i read what you wrote, i went to the 1st post and it wasn't you so i took it as an opinion

Love this one
thanks Yankee!!
it was just a quick mockup on the flag pole, i noticed a couple blems where some white lines were showing somehow, looks like photoshop did some minor tearing but i got some good ideas to expand the flag pole thing If nothing really awesomer comes in at this point (sparkly rainbows and butterflies flag) then I think mc_lovin wins
awesome!! you have no idea how PROUD I am to have designed the bitcoin flag!! I will up/downscale it to whatever dimensions req'd and provide the .psd for it as well! and it will be released as public domain rights/free usage!

It definitely needs an outline. I like the stroke outline better than the glow. The no banks no borders works well. So, I'd go with flag 9 http://bitcointrading.com/img/flag7.jpg <-- no outline

OK here are 2 more versions:

http://bitcointrading.com/img/flag3.jpg
I changed the font, and put the binary in the back, once decoded, says "in cryptography we trust" twice.

I like the second one.
Maybe make the coin like half the size? Should it be covering up the whole flag?

They both look awesome!
I cant decide if I like the black border or not IMHO lol
Thoughts?
I also changed the O's in the bitcoin.org to match the zero's in the binary, looks better than the rhombus-looking o's.

here's where i'm at. still working on it, not sure what font to use or what colors but thats the work in progress.

Sweet! If this were in production as a real flag, I would buy it!
The black background is great because it gives it a slight "pirate" aspect that associates it with black markets, etc.
This is my favorite thus far, only maybe more of a gold color/gradient for the btc maybe and a bit smaller might be nice.

What if the binary said "Honest Banking Without Borders"?
I just like the idea of having something cryptic that needs some explaining.
It makes it more interesting to share with people.
Very good job BTW. If that was the final version I would still be happy with it.

I'm gonna blow my nerd cred on this but, isn't ASCII encoding in binary generally at 8 bits per character?
Generally, yes, but there are other encodings, inluding 7-bit encoding.I only suggested 7 bit so more quotes could be included, but I'm sure there's other option of more text is desired.
I really like the "no banks, no borders" as well.
I think it would be nice to see 'em both.
