Countdown Updated.

Submissions are due Midnight New Years US EST.

Please have them submitted in this thread before then.

 

I'm a little confused, lol....too much going on but too bland? I can fiddle around with it but the idea of the flying R & K is to symbolise the atom. Maybe I'll just have a think and see if I can come up with something completely different

well thats kind of what I mean.  the orbits were too busy (too much going on) and it did need more of an elegant look (too bland).  But I like the idea of the symbol we could utilize.

Actually the more I think about it the less I question it, for this reason:  To write the symbol by hand it will look too much like a 0 or a O.  Worse yet, its would be the same as an upside down "power on" symbol.  The graphic itself is good as a symbol, IMO, since its got a wide border, but that will be rough to replicate by hand.

Regardless though, I like the idea of a symbol, not on an extruded looking coin like all the others, to represent the quark.  Sure, the symbol itself could be extruded graphically if so desired, though of course when written manually itd only have a 2D effect.

ETA:  lols and those 2 quark you gave us is not quite worth 1cent ATM.  Maybe tomorrow?  Hope so..
EETTAA:  and is quark both the singular AND plural form?  I like it that way, personally

No offense but that logo has no appeal to your average investor scrolling through the long list of "coins". Too much going on and too bland, just my 2 Quarks.

what is the first word people think of when they think crypto currency "bitCOIN", it  is a a great way to convey its money with just a name, i wouldnt be so quick to dismiss that.

P.S.  the creator called it QuarkCoin

This one is best by far.  And I mean FAR; dont mean to be rude, but the others are crap.

What this one has going for it is this..  a symbol.  That Q with the vertical squiggly can easily serve utility as the symbol for this currency.  Like $ is for the dollar.

And another thing.

Stop
Calling
It
A
COIN

Another way to differentiate.  Its not a coin.  None of these other things are really coins either.  OK So were not the first to do this (cryptogenic bullion, bitbar, bytebar, etc) but we can even move away from that.

The term 'quark' brings to mind particles of the universe.  hmm... universe.  universal.  A universal currency.  OK bingo now we're on to something.

From now on.  just quark.  drop the 'coin'.

Im sold on the market performance.  But still dont see what this cryptocurrency brings to the table.  "Secure" hashing?  Are all the others somehow LESS secure?  If most of the coins are in the hands of a small few, better start pumping them out slowly so as to distribute it out, if you want it to go big, and eventually be in use to buy things other than just traded back and forth like litecoin.  Just not gambling shit.  PLEASE GOD NOT THAT.  Thats when you your coin has no future, if you primarily use it for gaming.

ETA except for the orbiting stuff.  Your to a good start with that Q but the squigglies are too busy.  something more elegant yet simple maybe
EETTAA  that Q with the vertical line isnt used for anything else is it?

This is the best logo!!!!

and +1 for me for the new ℚ symbol

Great thought! I think we have no options left. But I too think it should be simplified though.

Its not only about ASCII characters

We have our first ASCII character: ℚ — thanks Mjbmonetarymetals!

Bitcoin has BTC and now Quarkcoins has ℚ.

That association will help investors see that QRK has a community as strong as BTC.

We MUST receive more entries that make use of an ASCII character guys.

Keep them coming!

So is the deadline Dec 4 or Jan 1? Makes a big difference on my end.

really great designs everyone

Great work! The first submission with an ASCII character! That is AWESOME, great work!

Does anybody want to buy some ℚs — It works! Great research! (I was thinking of designing one from scratch, but this looks great)

Now, if you don't mind my critique, this logo needs to be simplified. There's too much going on. Make it black and while, and if looks good in black and white, then it will look good ANYWHERE and EVERYWHERE. Also, be sure it looks good in a very small size.

I will create a logo design sometime this week if I remember. 

and the winner is...

ℚ Quarkcoin 

ℚ     U+211A (alt-08474)   DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL Q = the set of rational numbers

I have been against a logo change but this is pretty awesome.  Simple yet Bold.  Easy to make into a Font. I like that the Q's tail is internal.

I decided to keep it just as Quark rather than QuarkCoin, kinda like Visa to Mastercard. I can do a physical coin (am thinking a simple white plastic token with the QRK logo somewhat similar to the coin) but that'll take a little bit of time. I can do the accepted here horizontal rather than vertical, but figured I'd do something different
