Excuse this comment please, but you're being somewhat ironic.

In context of this discussion - Gold vs Orange those would be important considerations. People can design any logo they wish to with any colors around....

I was merely offering some healthy advice that adoption on web media needs to consider technical implications.

Marketeers and advertisers claim there's a lot of difference based just on the color combination u're using, so maybe op has a point to some extent.

They would be correct. As I said Branding and logos are extremely important.

Follow the evolution of successful fortune 500 companies. Logos tend to become more readable and minimalistic--

This was one flaw with Satoshi's original logo.

In Europe and America, orange is commonly associated with amusement, the unconventional, extroverts, fire, activity, danger, taste and aroma, the autumn season, and Protestantism. In Asia, it is an important symbolic colour of Buddhism and Hinduism.

Satoshi was fond of the word "Karma" in his pennings, ergo the color orange becomes an even better fit. I wonder if bitorange.com is available. Cool

Yes, Asia represents over 2/3rds of the world population. We shouldn't allow provincial biases to get in the way of a global currency.

There is also the practical aspects that logo designs for the web should use web friendly html colors... which limits the choice between -

   goldenrod #DAA520 rgb(218,165,32)
   gold #FFD700 rgb(255,215,0)
   orange #FFA500 rgb(255,165,0)
   darkorange #FF8C00 rgb(255,140,0)

There are technical reasons that come into play with color choice.

Both gold and orange are good. Considering that orange is good and gold is not so much distinctively better, it is best to remain the same.

Besides, there are several posts comparing bitcoin with gold, which is best and all that. It must be differenciated from gold Cheesy

Heh heh...now you have me all giddy. Do you honestly believe somebody will purchase a hand knitted and hand embroidered muffler scarf for that much? ^____^

No, even though a ball of snow was sold for 1 million USD..
I wanted to say that maybe the ludacris price would get in the news so that bitcoin would get exposure over it, and your logo as well, and that was what you wanted,wasn't it ?

We would have that company or man (or woman. Please don't be sexist. We have just as much to contribute to this game as much as men do) would probably benefit from investing in this currency if they knew about it, and were enticed into it with the right appearance. If I were a rich wealthy person that wanted to get even more rich, I would overlook a currency with a logo that looks like money designed in a video game. Using a serious color is just what we need. That and obvious larger scales of advertisement but we cannot spend millions of dollars to be placed on a platform for the 7 billion people watching us for them to just ignore our wonderful currency just because we wore orange, and not gold.

It is shallow, but looks do matter

HA! Do you know what events predetermined you even being here, or anyone else for that matter ? It wasn't a shiny logo, or a catchy phraze; it was a service that people wanted/needed.
To those people that pushed bitcoin into state of movement,hype and awareness, things like icon,logo and similar might have been a di*k (or a tw*t, not to be sexist) they wouldn't break a sweat over it.

You can set up a site and place whatever image you want for bitcoin, use sparkling efect,polka dots.. No one is stopping you. After all, bitcoin's main point is decentralization, everyone's vote counts.
Whatever sails your boat, but imho, it's not the picture that counts.

You'd be surprised how many wealthy people are very very shallow. Question: how did you manage to mess up the quoting?

I fixed it soon after ?! But anyways if you want to know, i spilled my vaping liquid all over my keyboard so it was a bit hard to focus on parts of quotes in editing, but i have the slickest keyboard

Heh, now even i want to see it when it's finished.
Place it on ebay for 21 million USD when it's finished, maybe you get in the news so that everyone seas your logo and bitcoin goes mainstream just by that.

I just don't understand.

We want a color that reflects passion, power, success and wealth. Not passiveness and calmness and "activity". You get that from gold as well.

I will decide what's a waste of time for me, and what isn't. If it upsets you, look the other way and click on a thread you like. Thanks so much.

It isn't upsetting, you are misreading my tone. I am merely giving some helpful advice as you don't seem to understand how open source projects work.

Ever hear of the term "Pull requests are welcome." ? It is a very polite way in the open source community of suggesting that you are welcome to contribute but not make requests or demands of volunteers.

What you are suggesting is something that can be done with 20 minutes in photoshop so isn't something you need to organize a a group of collaborators behind. You are going about this backwards by not making a post suggesting here is my more beautiful logo , what do you people think?

Since you are into psychology perhaps you should look within and ponder why you are pleading for people to agree with your aesthetics rather than simply doing what makes you happy and create a logo you find beautiful and contribute that.

I am not begging people to agree with my idea. I am kindly suggesting they do through a low key debate on the topic. I am hand embroidering the bitcoin symbol right now on my knitted scarf in gold as we speak.

Relax. I will make my own choices for development, and you can make your own.

ok, 2 pages of comments.. and still nothing.

if you want something to happen do it. come up with a design, and if its not just a logo you want. come up with a storyline (script) for an advert.

try not to make it seem like them scammy binary option investment scheme or sound like a ponzi advert. try thinking of applepay or visa as your baseline.

then if its good and people want to see it on TV/newspapers.. then go search out the businesses that use bitcoin and ask them for funding/sponsorship to help you produce the advert and get it out there.

if all you want is ust a logo upgrade, then stop typing and start designing. post what you think is your vision of the perfect logo. and again if good and you receive positive responses. pass the logo onto all the bitcoin related services to use

This is a spirited debate. Not a whining contest.

There are those that talk and those that do... create a better logo and share and you may have a small opportunity of achieving your vision... debating aesthetic preferences is just a waste of time.

The physical logo is already great. My concern is the color. That's it. Orange is too laid back. We want something more serious and intense. It is great to be laid back, but I am starting to think we probably shouldn't make investing seem like "fun", which the color orange presents. We need something more serious. More strong, and resilient. More wealthy, and powerful. Gold is the right choice.

Bitcoin is an open source project. There is not an official logo design, but many variations just like distros of linux. If you don't like any of the current versions , take Satoshi's old design and modify it and distribute it. If it is superior people will naturally prefer using it over the orange one. Begging people to agree with your aesthetics is rather silly.

Nobody's begging. To assume somebody is begging means you don't know the difference between actively attempting immediate persuasion with courage in their idea with written down facts on the psychology behind a color...

and then whining for situations to go their way. This is a spirited debate. Not a whining contest.

no, orange is great.

agree, good enough

, no need to change anything and then again, its hard to define gold color, it gets too yellow (bad visibility) or too orange...

Then by that logic, if we turn it to gold the logo wouldn't change. It'd just be enhanced.
