Time to lock this thread!!

thanks to all who participated

I vote for Number 5. It is looking very modern-futuristic and makes me want know more.

Not a very good logo but just thought these were nice.

ORA has a Logo!

                                       

To celebrate we're starting an ORA logo Meme giveaway!

Make a crypto currency related meme that includes the ORA logo:

- Post it on the NXT forum and receive 5,000 ORA assets
https://nxtforum.org/assets-board/(ann)-ora-logo-meme-giveaway-5000-ora-assets!/

- Post it on the ORA forum and receive another 7,500 ORA assets

hey man, where did you get my picture from?

Or is that Kora?

I thought  you were on holidays. ..


Pentamon

 couldn't resist

OP updated, I also posted in the main thread (couldn't help myself).

@Darkhorse, can you send me the NXT address you want to distribute logo bounties from? Will send the 1M ORA asap!

Hey Pentamon, those tear drops are amazing! I really like that effect, a lot

Don't under estimate your 'vibe' enhancing contributions! Good vibes in the logo process got ORA a great result, and I know a good 'vibe merchant' when I see one

ORA community needs to grow, and 'good vibes' are essential, so please keep those positive vibes flowing, We have promotion work to do now

Thanks Mac!

From memory the consensus before we started the Logo competition was to allocate 10 stakes for the logo bounty, but that's obviously not enough to adequately reward gvans, the other four finalists, and all the other people who submitted a logo for consideration who didn't make the final five.

It is critically important though, that we don't fall into the trap of arbitrarily deciding how to spend community funds in this interim period before we have community processes set up to do so. Community funds are other people's money that hasn't been allocated yet, and as early adopters and community builders we must at all times avoid the temptation to think any of us have the authority to allocate community money unilaterally, even when the purpose is obviously a worthy one, like in this instance.

Given the size of ORA community funds we must err on the side of almost paranoia over spending decisions IMO. The crypto community will tolerate many things (slow time lines, delays and missed deadlines, long debates over what to do etc), but 'dodgy' allocations of coins isn't one of them.

At all times we must strive to be fully accountable for every ORA asset/coin that we spend! If we as early adopters of ORA fail in this task, and there is any hint that community funds have been spent 'unwisely', or worse, 'dishonestly', then ORA can easily disappear like so many other coins before it.

Attaining, and retaining TRUST from the wider community is one of our prime directives IMO.

Thanks again Mac

Congratz to gvans, I liked all the designs made by the finalists

take it easy

@Pentamon nice job well done mate. Finalise with Nioccoin which version of gvans logo we can use and announce that in the main thread.

Kora needs to update the logo in the OP as well.

Nice work team. Lets give the bounty rewards to them asap.

Wow, Kora and Mac Red, you are generous bounty issuers!

Which reminds me, a note to all designers that did not send me their NXT address yet: please forward your address, that I can list them for Darkhorse. Watch out for the Ora assets in your NXT account.

Thanks for all the nice words, Kora. I am not sure that I had created the vibe in the thread, I just responded to an already existing vibe - that vibe that gives me hope about Ora.

I experienced some mourning for the designs that did not get selected for Ora.
 (Hey, a smart copy-cat coin might just take over some of our designs)

So I decided to share with you, my tears in images:

To BoubonicNugz, who posted only twice and then ignored any invitations to participate further: I find this design very recognizable, even through my tears...



To kussaka, who participated a great deal, and followed up on all suggestions with great designs, of whom each one is great.
the starfish:


the 'Escher' - surface:



the kussaka-maximuss collaboration/elaboration:



To maximuss, who discovered us late, but with zest:


Figroll, prolific and persistently churning out variations.
(thanks for the nice words, btw)


the initial swirly design:


and of course the near-winner, as seen through a tear:


To the round group, thank you for your various "O"s:

CoinExchange


dawj20


FragOra


Memminger


shijilal


To the 'starfish loyalists':
Kira (whatever-the-number)


jimclone


To the designers that used pen and paper, thanks for participating:

Purple! and Anna!




These are only examples, enough for you to get the idea.
I feel a little sad.

But life goes on, Ora has a logo, and it carries with it all the hopes of the others.

Pentamon

Here is a shared folder for anyone to use. Including different sized in png format and also vectorized pdf. I can do different variations by request, colours etc.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/xax1i6ddyuuvqs5/AACXKhM630rNRl8gagBFd-k-a?dl=0

The square template in the pdf is exactly 1x1 inch in size (25.4 mm). So if you open the pdf with Photoshop or similar program you can determine the size by pixels/inch. I.e. if you open it in 300 pix/inch you will get a 300x300 pixels solid etc and create your desired version using the template as mask. I believe the logo can withstand different colourschemes and still be recognized as the same ora-logo.

200x200 75x75 (1 pixel wide lines), 16x16 and white variation for quick preview

Congrats to gvans and every other designer!

I'll also put in 1 million ORA into the pot. 

Congratulations gvans! Thank you for designing such a lovely logo for ORA!

I also want to thank everyone who participated in the logo competition, especially the five finalists who created such amazing designs, and to Pentagon for creating a wonderful vibe in this thread.

I think many of us would like to reward all the finalists for their wonderful efforts, and I would like to donate 1 million ORA from my personal 2% founder stake towards the bounty pot for the logo contest.

It is very important that we show potential investors in ORA that we are responsible and disciplined managers and custodians of community funds, but I think most of us would like to see all the logo finalists rewarded for their efforts, and I'm fortunate to be in a position to have sufficient ORA to do this. ORA has a sizeable proportion of assets/coins in reserve, and we will distribute them wisely using agreed upon processes in the future. Until we have those bounty distribution mechanisms fully worked out it is best to use voluntary donations to get things moving, and this was always part of my thinking.

ORA needs a good balance between heart & head!

Thanks again to everyone who helped make the logo selection process a huge success!

Congratulations Gvans for winning logo.

Pentamon - i will distribute the bounty once you confirm to me who gets how much with their Nxt account. It would be good if you give me a list so i can compile into my coins distribution list.

Congratulations, gvans and all that submitted some really great designs. Been a pleasure being part of a civilized and constructive thread.

Also many thanks to Pentamon for keeping it that way.
