I agree, if we're re-branding then lets re-brand and not drag along the old image/styles etc. The reason to re-brand is to get away from the name Darkcoin and the dark image/reputation associated with it.
We should not have any ties to the Darkcoin name and that includes Logo's and other images as it will simply confuse things.
I know people are emotionally attached to the Darkcoin D (logo) but please let's not do a half hearted re-brand because people are having their heartstrings tugged.
I dont agree. But then again I'm no expert, and every time I've had to deal with designers, I end up loosing the argument, 90% thankfully.
I posted this yesterday on DCT, mind sharing your thoughts?
Like crypto's defy all known logic in classic finances, I propose a very slight defiance to the classic rebranding philosophy. Lets keep the wonderful logo and call it DASH or whaver. Every other single aspect of the rebrand (forum, main website, twitter, email accounts, foundation, facebook, etc etc oh yeah, and the code for release too!) follows the professional advice of said PR company.
DASH, Ding-Dong, whatever, hopefully starting with D for my idea of course...
That would
a) Keep the spirit of Darkcoin alive
b) Send a clear message to the crypto community, just like OpenBazaar did, of the mission statement actually having strong morals behind it, so much so it's community is willing to have a name change.
c) Massively simplify transition, one huge less headache and man hours to deal with (the logo and lettering style)
d) 98,37% of the world population still has no clue about BTC anyway, and the re-brand with this amazing team, would kick some serious butt in the VC field, with an honest face, in all directions
