Did you start the competition on 99 already? should I just post it here?
I'd love to hear your ideas or see them. Essentially we are looking for either a more sleek and professional version of the lunate sigma expanded or something that represent our overall goal of being a startup solution in a box and commerce payment platform.
How about the Lunate Sigma "Ͼ" with the earth as the dot? The earth could appear as a blue marble wih clouds, and rotate if done as an animated GIF.
This kind of animation is more suitable for processing, then a result animation, and this theme should be apparent on different stuff as well if we take this path (if using it as the sole processing animation)
Do you mean those details should be on the logo when not animated? if not I guess this is more of an animation idea then a logo concept. If The execution is flawless I can imagine this as very impressive, but anything less then flawless will be ultra tacky but I suspect it might be too hard to make this good enough at this point
Added a globe icon to my insp board just in case, thou usually it's not my style
We might want to get a board/doc for organizing suggestions for everyone to add or watch

What I had in mind was an earth that was the "blue marble with clouds" similar to what you see from the moon, not a map. Also, the earth/dot should be smaller to be more like the Lunate Sigma.
