Love the shield and lock idea. Ditch the common circle. When people see the shield at a glance they'll recognize it. only suggestion I have is the color scheme. Blue on dark blue kind of doesn't complement each other and doesn't pop. I like the original colors of blue and silver or blue and gold. Could we see some different color combos? Great work by the way. Super creative and clean.

Yes, I have to admit I'm a really big fan of this one!

 

[Taurine]

I was bored this morning so, simple yet recognizable.

Or with a little definition defining the underline as the key.

 

[altobase]

Man this is definitly my favorite concept so far in my thread. Simple, good looking, and gets across the point of darkcoin pretty well. However, im not sold on the color scheme. Try adding colors that are a bit brighter, and have the colors be more contrasting, because right now its a bit muddy and does not pop enough.
Maybe you should also try adding an outline to the shield.

Ok last one since everyone seems to like the shield idea.

Seems like everyone is keen for Raze's design. I'm going to keep adding a few anyway. The last one I added was pretty quick and I think is maybe a bit congested, so I simplified a bit and applied the same design to the key. I've also provided a non-circular design.

I thought on the keys for a moment and what comes to my mind is that a key opens things and we want the opposite.

I like the look of this shield, But its too bright. Can you try the colors that are in the coin and use the D thats on the existing coin to see what it look like?

I agree. A key does not make a great deal of sense to me as a logo for DRK. I am also curious as to why people seem to prefer a shield to a lock? Or the shield-lock design? What does a shield tell you about DRK that a lock does not?

This one's on the right track. I do like using the "o" as the lock. I agree with InternetApe, try something with original color scheme.
Everyone's doing a great job by the way. Keep brainstorming.

 

[godzirra]

The lock to me says private. The shield represents protection. It hits the nail on the head. I personally like the color gold or silver to denote money or value as well.

I actually like this shield better. More English the others remind me more of Viking. But whatever I'm nitpicking. This one has a bit too much going on. Not as streamlined and simplistic. I like the simplest possible.

 

[godzirra]

Raze I really like the blue and gold. Can you make the gold more bright? Less mustard? And the "coin" in the same blue as the shield. So there's only two colors. To be honest your design is the best I've seen so far by a lot.

 

[godzirra]

Maybe Raze the Colors could be reversed. The "DARK" could be blue and the "COIN" gold. That might make more sense. This should get posted @bitcointalk too so more heads can input. Great job dude. I think you should get the bounty instead.

Love the blue and gold, it's different.
godzirra has a good point too, would love to see the colors opposite dang, you guys are honing it down!

What do you think LimLims?

Thanks. I'm just trying to throw ideas out there. Not really concerned about winning the bounty. I'm curious to see the designcrowd results.

Hey Raze what if you moved the D over to the left a little into the other side of the shield so the middle line of the shield lines up with the inside straight line of the D. I'd attempt it myself but don't have the skills.
