Re: Decentralized FLOSS Guild - 0.5 BTC prize for best logo

Wow yes this is closer to the original idea! Remixing in a unique way also has value, and I'd like to tip you. I don't see a bitcoin address though. If you DM me one or a twitter handle, I'll happily tip you for the value I see here. If you feel guilty, I suggesting tracking down the creators to ...

Re: Decentralized FLOSS Guild - 0.5 BTC prize for best logo

That's true this won't scale very well. Like you said, though, it is kind of a mascot, and therefore can be moved around without losing it's essence. I should have been more specific to say that this "logo" will be part of the brand for a simple website and forum on defloss.com. This will allow De ...

Re: Decentralized FLOSS Guild - 0.5 BTC prize for best logo

After a bit of tuning, here is a more logo-style image:

http://i.imgur.com/VEnf3NV.jpg

As far as I know, this image was first used by my friends Roger Ver and Erik Voorhees. I asked them publicly about the origin of the image. Considering how many times it has been remixed, I hope it isn't ...

Re: Decentralized FLOSS Guild - 0.5 BTC prize for best logo

Well, so much for my comment on politeness. Obviously you guys only are nice when you think you'll get paid. :p

Evander's design reuses elements, it is true, but I'd hardly call that stealing. Tux, in particular, is the mascot of an open source project, and as far as I know, every image of him that ...

Re: Decentralized FLOSS Guild - 0.5 BTC prize for best logo

It is a little early but I don't think any last minute submissions are coming in. ;) This was a very helpful activity, so thank you everyone for participating! The variety and feedback really broke our mold, and was exactly the sort of community driven feedback we hope the guild can facilitate ...

Re: Decentralized FLOSS Guild - 0.5 BTC prize for best logo

Hi thanks for your submissions! I like them artistically, but there's something about the penguin that just seems wrong. Almost like he's too much like a real penguin and not enough like a Tux. We're not observing a nature scene but building a new, high-tech community. ;)

Hello!

I hope i am not ...

Re: Decentralized FLOSS Guild - 0.5 BTC prize for best logo

This is particularly amazing for its similarity to an old time crest or heraldic symbol. Really great work. I'm not sure it will scale well enough to be a logo, though. Any ideas on that, or if this could be made more scalable with some changes?

Here's what I came up with. It integrates Bitcoin ...

Re: Decentralized FLOSS Guild - 0.5 BTC prize for best logo

Wow lots of great entries, thanks! Really happy with the variety!

Now that we have some more competition, I added a poll to the OP. Hope that is less confusing than a second post. Everyone gets 2 votes, so entrants can vote for someone else also. ;)

Re: Decentralized FLOSS Guild - 0.5 BTC prize for best logo

Hi badgerdodger, great update! I liked the aggressive look, but next to natural it does seem a bit extreme. Thank you also for changing the name.

Re: Decentralized FLOSS Guild - 0.5 BTC prize for best logo

Hi thanks again for your submissions. Since we're still waiting on one out of three, I think it is ok to extend the deadline for 12 hours (until 9:15 PM UTC-5).

So far, I'd say it is still a tough choice. Badgerdodger has more attitude and life to it, but the latest from patestevao is closer to the ...

Re: Decentralized FLOSS Guild - 0.5 BTC prize for best logo

Thank you for the submissions. They are in the right theme, but maybe missing some depth. If the characters had eyes and/or color, it would help a lot.

Tux looks pretty uncomfortable standing up, too. Don't you think he'd be more comfortable sitting?

Re: Decentralized FLOSS Guild - 0.5 BTC prize for best logo

Hi folks, thanks for the submissions! Happy to see we have one penguin riding a honey badger as well as a creative alternative. These permutations are welcome, and we just wanted to stimulate creative juices on the theme. When there are a few more, we'll organize into a poll. :D

Decentralized FLOSS Guild - 0.5 BTC prize for best logo

The Decentralized FLOSS Guild is a proposed organization of free and open source content creators. Eventually, the guild will issue its own Bitcoin sidechain, run a payment network, arbitrate transaction disputes, and enforce contracts. That is all very grandiose and abstract, and those interested ...
