Re: Logo Contest

 

Hello all,
I am urza_cc from chat.

Great idea running 99designs, thanks for that.

Just wanted to say that ₲ is great idea. Very practical and usable having
it as unicode symbol.

>From the graphical logos I like the idea of hat - that conveys privacy (see
chrome incognito browsing for example) and also has hidden a little bit of
wizardry in it - which the mimble wimble cryptography feels like.. and also
the  Harry Potter reference..

https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/mysterious-cryptocurrency-needs-creative-logo-769896/entries/171

https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/mysterious-cryptocurrency-needs-creative-logo-769896/entries/42

..probably these two but more as a starting point than final logo.

I dislike all that look like generic corporate logos. Especially anything
that has more than 2 colours and too many lines etc.

Have a nice day you all
urza
