Regarding the updated design, I am interested in the community's thoughts on using the circle with 3 balls (tomoe; 巴) or some modified form as our symbol/logo.
Right now I don't think we really have a symbol that relates to humans because transformed triangles and squares are a little too abstract. It is important to create something that people can see and have a feeling for what it means. Tomoe and symbols like yin-yang represent a dynamic balance that shows harmony and yet movement at the same time. I think if you think about what that means conceptually then you can get an idea for what a fitting design for NEM will be.
At a high level, I think you could summarize NEM in 3 parts:
- financial freedom
- decentralization
- equality of opportunity
Uniting these three together in solidarity, we have a theme where these three components must be together and work together in order to create an emergent harmony (i.e., the new economy).
If anyone has any ideas on other symbols we could use that represent these ideals, please post them here!
Good points, makoto. Thanks for taking the discussion further. Hopefully we'll be able to find something soon enough.
The logo looks very panda-ish and not "serious" enough, but alas, I wish I was a graphics designer. :-(
Can we have the community come out with some logos and put them to vote? That would be a great way of getting consensus agreement, in the true spirit of a block chain transaction!
