If you read the posts in question, you will find that the above logo is not a serious submission, but a suggested conceptual direction. Even in that respect, it may still have little merit.
However, the current DarkCoin logo is not acceptable for the long-term. It does nothing to express the key feature of the coin, privacy. In fact, since it is a fairly standard (though cool) design, it does nothing to impede the unacquainted from the standard connotation: darkness signifies the illicit.
That suggestion has 0 merit.
"We need something that expresses the benefits of this coin, let's put a D in some swirly lines ahhhh yeahhhhh."
