Official logo vote

It's not super minimalist... but it shows a blockchain with a dark spot in the middle. It means something and is easily recognized. People will see it and be curious without the negative vibe. It's not the coolest design just the most effective imo.

Who's the silly statist goose that put an (R) on a cryptocurrency logo?
Voted for the popular one of course, but I hope that doesn't effect the coin design. The coin design is perfect and should remain.

4 is totally my pick too. Solidarity! Sadly I think we're losing the race.I love the logo number 4. I think I'm the only one

Me too! I think I like 5 the best though because you can kind of see darksend working. A transaction goes in and gets spit out all around the roundabout.
I like #4 as well. Unfortunately, a vote like this doesn't allow for compromise, which would be, imo, healthier if one logo is loved by the masses but doesn't resolve the issues or needs that are required for a successful campaign. Not everyone understands imo the true needs of our coin's marketability. I feel like #6 is wrong, but I'd defer to several of the others, especially if someone with a knack for this kind of thing could put in their 2 cents

#6 looks good. I know we talk about re-branding quite a lot in this early stage, and it's much too late to change the name now. There are already too many established services/exchanges/links that direct to darkcoin, so we really have to own this brand and promote it for it's positive, privacy and security-centric philosophy
Personally I'm liking number 6 and 2. I hadn't seen anything like this posted/suggested so I thought I'd toss out some food for thought. This new logo will set the stage for the future branding and marketing of DarkCoin. To ensure the coins identity is secured the creator(s) should look to trademark the name and logo. The name is easy. The logo is a little different. A logo chosen needs to be free and clear of any and all trademarked/copyrighted materials and must be turned over by the contractor so no future claims can be made against it. The hand-off of the logo to the owner needs to be written so that the designer agrees to release full ownership of all rights upon payment in full. On top of that the designer cannot use any existing fonts or graphics. If someone else created the font, for example an open source font, you really can't trade mark that design. You will never own the font. So what I'm getting at is the winning design needs to be 100% original. I'm not sure if design 2 and 6 use open source fonts but if they do they need to be changed.

Yeah but that one might be even better as a DarkSend logo.
Other than maybe experimenting with different color schemes (which we can do), I like it the way it is, sans keyhole.
I'd be interested to know if it uses a publicly available or custom-made font, though.

Ok, I'll ask.
