NEW BURST LOGO PROPOSAL - VOTE NOW !
-
Thank you sevencardz, you made some good arguments here.
Yes, the poll is about and pointing towards a new design and materials with guidelines how to use it. As I mentioned earlier there were no such approaches since two years. Nobody did the work Gadrah did, he is the first and only (yet).
I think people know what the current logo is. About the design we have today: As I showed you, the design we have got introduced (without a poll) one week after the birth of Burst. What Crowetic is mentioning is a short discussion about 6 new logos against the established one. I can't find the source in the 1200 pages original thread on bitcointalk.
"I think the opinions of more established members like @haitch, @luxe, @crowetic, @dawallet, etc. should be weighted heavily over the opinion of anyone new to Burst, including myself. If for no other reason than because you need THEM to actually accept the logo and put it on their webpages, software, promotional materials, etc."
Thank you. This is a public poll, you can see who votes for what. I see all active developers, admins and mods voted yes except of crowetic and three members with high reputation.
The funny thing is: I made the official website, I merged the shape we use now with the white circle and I chose the colors in paint and I pushed the same logo to all websites: c-cex, coinmarketcap, cryptocompare and I introduced it with the win client.
It was and will be a lot of work for me again to reach out to all the important websites and ask for a change - but I'm willing to do it.There are no guidelines, vector graphics, no high quality version, no "media package" for the present logo. On https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/burst/analysis/BTC it is even blurry.
You are welcome to make an own poll and present your own design concept. Please provide also HQ graphics, vector graphics, color palette and Fonts. This is a decentralized project - everybody can contribute but only a few actually do.
Please keep in mind that we are talking about improving the logo and media material, not renaming the whole project or changing the protocol.
There will be no disaster, people are used to logo evolution:

@socalguy said in NEW BURST LOGO PROPOSAL - VOTE NOW !:
The letter "B" will be difficult when trying to use the word Burst in a headline. Like "In Burst we trust" or something similar. The spacing will be really off between the words and or the frame.
I agree the old logo needs work or thrown in a fire.
I created this awhile back for MikeMike but it was decided it didn't make the cut. The bolt is within the left side of the letter so it willl be easier to space it properly with other letters and words.
It's not refined and needs some additional work so don't use it please. As of today I don't have anything new ideas to show regarding the new logo.
Something like this could be a nice option
-
@sevencardz To reinforce @daWallet's point, I just counted the reputation on the two sides of the poll. There is currently a total of 7030 rep points in the yes side and 2206 in the no side.
@all I updated the OP with the link to @luxe's thread in the software section (https://forums.burst-team.us/topic/3554/burstcoin-branding-logo-material).

dont change this logo with these i dont like them include more options that look better but for this change i disagree
-
I kinda like the "B"! It could use some freshening up maybe! What's really annoying is the "urst" leftover I see everywhere!!
-
I think the new logo is better than the current one. I wouldn't mind seeing a few other choices, but if it's this or the current logo I'll take this one.
-
@daWallet @Gadrah_ Thank you both for your thoughts. I'm totally fine with logo evolution and your point about it being accepted by the majority of devs, admins, and mods makes me feel more confident in this way forward than the general poll does. Once again, I applaud the effort Gadrah_ has put into this and the willingness to hear everyone's opinion on the matter.
-
@newsense2004 I was thinking the two round parts of the B to make it look like disk drive platters, representing disk drive mining. But ey....to me whatever everyone agrees upon.
-
@Gadrah_ So is this the official logo going forward?

I merely think that with less than 100 votes in a community of our size, that we can call this an official change.
If though, we put this to a vote, and get a substantial amount of people saying yes, we should change, I'll go along with it.
I will still not say that it is a good idea, because I simply don't believe it is. We haven't yet established our brand enough to make this type of change, so comparing us to PEPSI is kinda ridiculous. lol...
But anyway, I think if this is actually going to be an official change, let us do a promo video, we'll talk about it, then point everyone to this thread, where they can vote, and we'll make this an official poll. THEN and only then, will we have the ammunition to see how much of the community actually feels like we should make this change.
My 2 BURST.
-
@crowetic I entirely agree. I think a logo change this early is a little naive as our logo is just starting to get out there.
-
However, a new logo is necessary at some point and I would look to Shadow Coin for some modernizing inspiration. Something along those lines is nice and appealing and we can hire someone to do a better job than that for not too much $. I would vote that we hire an artist to wip up something nice and modern.
-
The current logo looks like a 3, and I'm sure we are not the only one that see it that way. We need a better logo and it's a perfect time to do so, we are not that big so new members will just know the new one, no difficulty on finding what it is.
I like this current idea, but for sure we can have more options. I voted yes, because that 3 must go.
@kmaxkmax Shadow coin is a perfect and clean logo.
-
@cwade77 This horrible 3 looks a lot more than a Dash copy than the current proposal.
-
@cwade77 Anonymity is part of what's great with Crypto Currency.
I don't have anything against crowetic, I don't even know him besides of what I've read during the past months.
I'm just saying my vote and you're against it, what is the point of attacking me? We are here to discuss about a logo proposal, and I will keep saying that for me, that 3 is horrible and should be changed, we developers don't even have a vector version of that to work with. ( No offense @daWallet )
-
@daWallet mentioned that this updated design is due to nobody else making a serious proposal for a brand new logo. From what I am seeing on this thread we still are not seeing a serious proposal for a new logo.
A professional graphic designer is going to ask a lot of questions about designing the logo and which direction s/he should take. If we are going to hire a professional, I think we as a community, need to figure out some key questions first.
Questions that need solving.
- What types of logos are there that fit nicely within the crypto space? (Wordmark, Letterform, Pictorial, Abstract)
- What are the key points about Burstcoin that the logo should convey?
- What are the best colors for the logo? Colors can represent different emotions.
- What fonts should we consider? There are thousands of them out there.
- Should we let the community design the logo or hire a graphic designer to do it?
- How much will the new logo cost? Will the designer accept burstcoin?
- Where will our logo be displayed? Websites, storefronts, phone apps, clothing?
This morning, I fixed a few areas of the older logo and made a newer design.


If you don't like the older logos, then create a better one for us. Or, make a pledge to donate Burst for the creation of the new logo.
