Just starting to get the Twitter account setup.  I will be interested in setting up a delegate as well.

If you want to do it right, you can't pull that off alone, you need a team working closely together.

It doesn't need to be that complicated.

Edit:

I'm not putting this up as a logo suggestion, just trying to show that it doesn't need to be complicated, in fact it's probably better when it isn't.

I am struck with irony about how this delegate conversation is going.  

Max set up the DPoSWFR (Delegated Proof of Stake With Forging Rewards) system in Lisk for only one reason: offer people rewards and they will be motivated to set up nodes!

Now more and more people are saying they want to set up nodes so they can give the rewards away!  To a pool of voters!  To a Dapp contest reward!  Sooner or later it will be to a charity....or did I already see that?

How is DPoSWFR a motivator to run a node if everybody gives the reward away?  If so many people are so willing to run a node with no personal reward, I say again that Lisk would be better off with NO forging rewards and instead rely on 101 unpaid volunteers to secure the Lisk blockchain.  

Volunteer unpaid nodes would avoid a whole lot of jealousy that's coming like a thunderstorm on the horizon.  When Lisk hits $10 each like Ethereum, running a node is going to be worth $300K+ per year for Active Delegates and $0 per year for Standby Delegates....

amanai, if you're going to give your node reward away, a "Dapp contest" is a very worthy cause to support.

The quoted Link conveniently mixes up logos and complete rebrands. What do you think coca-cola and nike pay for all the other design stuff besides the logo? To be honest, I have no idea. But it's not gonna stay at 0-35 bucks.

I don't know if you have ever seen a design manual for a company. That stuff looks like quantum physics.
Trust me: Making it look "not complicated" actually is a lot of work.

If you run a logo contest for publicity , you'd still need someone to make all the other stuff, and it would need to fit the new logo…

Status Update - Including BTER Statement

These past few weeks have been a roller coaster ride, with Lisk rapidly growing and collecting over 5.7M USD while being the 2nd most successful crypto-crurency crowdfunded project.

Here's an update on where we stand:

I realize that Devs are busy preparing for a smooth launch, but I think it's crucial that they rebrand now before the launch and before the media and news outlets PROPAGATE the current logo across the internet.

Another important thing to consider is CONFUSION; I've seen many people get confused on exchanges and other crypto services (i.e. ShapeShift) because they keep looking for the wrong coin icon. (Remember late rebrandings of Dash/Darkcoin/Reddcoin etc. ?)

For inspiration; I'm sharing some logos that:

• 1. Emphasize Dapps diversity on Lisk Dapp store with multiple colors.
• 2. User friendly colors (think Google Play Apple storeMicrosot app store colors...).
• 3. Recognizable "L" symbol on exchanges and everywhere like Bitcoin & Litecoin logos (Ethereum diamond logo is just NOT recognizable).[/b]
• 4. Stand out from the rest of the cryptocurrencies logos, because Lisk is special.
