Topic: [QRK] 120,000 QRK Bounty for New Logo - page 5. (Read 39016 times)

Martijnp's work is amazing!   Mvag is also excellent. I slightly prefer Mvag because it's slightly more readable as a Q, but both would be great choices.

Quark needs to be different then others. Also it needs some recognizing from the older logo..

This is my submission, I've been unable to access the Quarktalk forum for a few days now. I keep getting SQL errors. I'll keep trying.

I have created a simple logo that inspires security and integrity. The design consists of a shield with an oblique line running through it to form a "Q". I think this design meets the criteria for a currency symbol. It is simple enough to be printed clearly and distinctively as a typeface. It is simple enough that it can be written easily and quickly by hand. It captures the essential strengths of the Quarkcoin currency and presents them with a clean, confident and powerful new identity.

All my designs are vector based so they will look clean and clear at any scale.

I hope you like my work and look favourably on my submission.

I made this logo in an attempt to show the security of Quark. The colors represent the individual quarks making up a proton, and the quarks are on a lock that is on top of the coin representing that quarks security works down to the elementary level. I tried to keep the look of the original logo in some respects so that is still recognizable as Quark. Let me know if you need anything, I had to post here because I cannot connect to the quarktalk thread.

Thanks so much!

QRK: QjPm44AEvNZ2vg7gchUP5K2SCWUKJk5mr3

Here's my final entry for this contest! It was a great challenge to find balance between a completely new logo (primary goal of this contest) and to include elements from the current logo. It seems many people think the current logo is great as it is. That's a discussion that will likely continue after this contest. In my opinion the winner is someone who took serious effort to come up with something high quality, new and refreshing.

I ended up with three scalable logo's. The first logo is the new one. The Q represents Quark: speed, security, safety, confidence, solidarity and simplicity. The Q embraces the core (Earth).
The second logo is my redesign of the current logo, trying to balance out the elements it contains. It's now fresh and crisp with everything in correct proportions.
The third logo is a combination of the the previous ones. If you think about it.. I like the idea.. I've tried to keep everything as simple and clean as possible and focus on what matters most for now. In my opinion usage of the logo's can be combined.. They are modular (each element/logo can represent a specific purpose and they can be combined to form a whole), recognizable and will stick in the head!

Also, take a good look at the Quark text and subtext. It's solid, scalable, elegant and.. recognizable.. I've seen way too many logo's with text too thin or not scaled/positioned the way it should be.

I really like the retro-feel from the current logo. So I've tried to incorporate that retro feel in my logo's as well. The color palettes used support this retro earthy look and feel. And even more important, it gives a feeling of where Quark is at right now! I would strongly advise against using too many colors and too many elements in a logo. Simplicity is key which is a very hard (and time-consuming) thing to accomplish!

It was great fun to create the physical coins. Six rings each.. The inner circle of the red-green-blue coins each represent a part of the earth. Look from a distance and you'll notice the multidimensional effect in there. Together they form a whole.. Again, only added elements that matter.

As mentioned before I'm willing to participate in the development of the official Quark website and give it the Quality it deserves. That is, if my logo('s) is/are selected. And I'm not only talking pixels here!


Let's bring this baby to the next level! Happy New Year everyone!

Enjoy!

Martijn

Hello all,

Here's my take on the logo, a color palette could be added afterward, and the design of the brand adapted to every attached element (webdesign, icons, etc.).

So many logos, I need to add one more  Simple and elegant, thats it 

This one would be great but only--------->>>> quark without the coin and the Slogen above foe mw seems to be better the elementary currency

and the outer ring should be smoother
Nice work!

Tnx! Some Illustrator too

Hey man thats awesome. How do you make something like that? Just in photoshop?

Will present my final set tomorrow!

For now here's my wallpapered black physical round.. Hope you like!

I polished this for a couple of last days now

Hello, this is my idea for the new logo.
A fresh green touch. Simple and effective.
I´m glad for any feedback/tips i get to make it look better.

If you like it, you can help me get started with Quarks.
I´m happy for any single donated Quark

let me know what you think.
I´m really looking forward seeing the official new logo soon
Have a nice day

No logo as been decided as far as I'm aware, a couple of quark forum users asked if they could use the logo I designed For their particular projects twitter, Facebook etc. I'm sure these will be adapted in line with whatever updated logo is chosen. I've not discussed any logo designs in private with FlipPro whose heading up this bounty.

Added the coin to quark as its been mentioned a few times on the quark forums about quarks visibility in google searches.
