I would give the 200 plus XCs to them rather than Amateours if nothing good is found and it seems you can organize contests there Why we just do not move the Contest in that website so? and we can give exposure to the contest to more designers that hopefully are professional as well?
What do you think?
We want community interactions... and some members have already put time and effort into creating a logo. I don't think it would be fair to close the contest but if you like you may hire whoever you want and if your submission wins you get the bounty.
i think the logo should come from someone who knows crypto, and who knows the benefits of xc over the competition and what that all means,
there are some great designers in this forum , older contests prove that, i just wouldn't make it a contest to vote for everyone since those could be easyly manipulated, make it 50 % vote, 50 % jury or something, and make it quick , choose and move on
