I prefer the old one and the vast majority of my products are the old one.

There are MANY variations on the logo including the below one dash style:

First time am seeing this one.

It is half as popular as my more standard Bitcoin Accepted sticker but I have still sold hundreds of them all over the world.

Has to be the classic one.

The Euro was "invented" then adopted and its symbol was integrated and in not too long a time considering. Proof if it were needed that all things are possible if the will is there.

Original double strike B for me pls

New one looks shit. Stick with the classic one, though it could be tweaked to look more snazzy or modern.

The old one is fine for promotion and marketing Bitcoin.

The new one is fine for unicode, writing, and hopefully incorporating into our keyboards soon.

That's pretty easy. I already did it for German Keyboards
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5856310

and somebody else did it, with US Keyboard
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/type-bitcoin-symbol-with-your-keyboard-windows-us-keyboards-60152

btw. reminds me about old Nazi Polls, where the Symbol you want People to "vote" is much bigger, than the Symbol you don't want People to choose:

That's not the new symbol with the horizontal dash through the B on the links you sent me though.

My Point was, that you can easily Change you Keyboard to write any Symbol that is Unicode.

Not that it really matters (everyone is free to use the symbol they prefer), but I actually like the new symbol better.

Here's my logic: everyone knows¹ the first iteration of a new technology is a flop. People want the version where all the kinks have been worked out. By moving to this symbol, the perception in the public will be that this is a new, better, faster, cleaner, environmentally-friendly and ideologically-tolerant version of bitcoin.

¹By "knows" I mean completely misunderstands how an open source protocol like bitocoin and a distributed ledger like the blockchain will naturally evolve to best meet the needs of its users.

Saw the story earlier, was going to post about this- glad I checked first.

Anyways, I also say old, hands down. Someone in the comments said they were surprised to hear Bitcoiners fear change. I don't see it as that, at all. This is not change for innovation or any improvement- in my opinion. This is unnecessary change. The original is so well known now, at least among anybody that remotely follows BTC. Why change? Just because some "industry members" think we will fit in better among society with that? In my opinion Bitcoin isn't about changing to suit the masses, but the masses making changes to accept Bitcoin. Another person said in the comments, instead of changing to an existing Unicode symbol, make suggestions that Unicode adopt the BTC. I agree. And I'm not sure how I feel about "industry groups" trying to make changes, that just doesn't feel right to me.

Don't even get me started on pushing for XBT instead of BTC... Roll Eyes

The "new" one is already in all the fonts we are using, it will be convenient to use that as a one char symbol for bitcoin. I have no objection to websites and documents using that. Personally, I would use "btc" in the above cases.

What aout still using the old B with the dollar inspired look, make the B black and make a black circle around it as the "new" logo.

I like the old one. The new one seems to be very similar to some of the fiat money symbols.

This is just idiotic. Old. Period.

The old symbol bears significant resemblance to a dollar sign - $ - although double-dashed. That is more familiar and much more likeable than the proposed symbol.

Go for what works when you look at it - not for what is convenient in a font. People can use whatever symbol is convenient in a font, but the logo? Needs to create a connection, and the proposed one doesn't do that. The old one does.
