Title: HEAT Symbol / Logo contest! [BOUNTY 1 BTC]
Post by: Eliphaz on September 28, 2016, 07:38:17 PM: We need professional design for HEAT coin / badge symbol and herewith start a contest open for anyone. The final design is supposed to be used as the symbol for the HEAT token, and may or may not be used in other materials of Heat Ledger Ltd such as company logo.

Competition is open until Sunday October 16th midnight unless closed prematurely or extended. Multiple rounds to qualify the best designs and decide between their improved iterations may be needed.

Guidelines:

- the design should include a HEAT symbol sitting on a badge / coin style format
- the design may include the text HEAT, it's however not mandatory
- versions displayed should be 16 x 16 pixels and 256 x 256 pixels for each entry
- larger resolution (up to 1024 x 1024 pix) needs to be available before winner is paid the bounty

By paying the winning prize of 1 BTC Heat Ledger Ltd receives all rights to the provided design from the designer.

Crude sample drafts for inspiration are presented in this post - with the III idea and 1h idea kindly provided by Kalipo, and the @ idea provided by Mr.coinzy. Other competitors are free to use the sample designs, or one of their own, as a starting point. In case a design incorporating suitable part of one of the sample designs wins, the original provider is paid 0.5 BTC bounty in addition to the 1 BTC reward of the winner. The additional bounty may be adjusted downwards, in case the winning design doesn't prominently use the suggested symbol but could be considered to be based on it.

Post by: gvans on October 01, 2016, 02:37:44 PM: HWiz funky designs, maybe try them out in 16x16 pixels size too so you will see how they would display at coinmarketcap.com.
I think you may have to scale up the actual symbol/letter part of the logo to make it work.

Post by: proto on October 05, 2016, 12:53:43 AM: Here are a couple rough ideas. I'm not that great with photoshop skills, I did these with an online photo editor :P It needs to be made nicer, but I think these are good starting concepts for logo design. I welcome anyone to take these ideas and make bigger images for them, and we can share the bounty if it wins. Of these 2, I like the first one better. Among many others posted in this thread :)

Title: Re: HEAT Symbol / Logo contest! [BOUNTY 1 BTC]
Post by: gvans on October 05, 2016, 11:39:44 AM: Came up with another design. This will work both in the round coin-format and star-like format.

Post by: Eliphaz on October 05, 2016, 03:48:00 PM: Nice polyscapes!

I'd prefer the star symbol to be more star like "H" letter ie. larger wings and less hollow space on the inside. Would make it cleared in small format too.

It was announced there on both the HEAT thread and a separate contest thread that received no attention at all.

Doable. This one is based on three perspective planes and golden section though ;)

Title: Re: HEAT Symbol / Logo contest! [BOUNTY 1 BTC]
Post by: gvans on October 08, 2016, 02:09:06 PM: Just a reminder: versions displayed should be 16 x 16 pixels and 256 x 256 pixels for each entry

And don't underestimate the importance of the small 16x16 pixels format. That is how the logos are presented at coinmarketcap.com. It is also a good indicator if the design can withstand scaling and if it is recognisable from a distance.

Imo the best way is to save them as png with transparent background. Then you have the logo only without extra hassle. I think the logo should be appealing as a logo only in it's pure shape and form without extra graphics flashy texts etc. This is why I did the comparison table and I will update it when I can.
Title: Re: HEAT Symbol / Logo contest! [BOUNTY 1 BTC]
Post by: fokiupaymi on October 08, 2016, 06:03:02 PM: The resolution is not actually in the requested format of 256x256 simply for enhanced display purpose on the forum. Since the logo is in vectorial format,it can be resized at 1 px or even 1 000 000 px.

Those do remind some other user's designs here. But if you look back in this thread and do your homework you have to admit my gvans-designs have nothing in common with those two logos you just posted.
