Designing a logo for BlockPay...

[kenCode]

and the final BlockPay logo:

Ken: I think there was some trouble with the name "blockpay".. Mainly domain name issues.

And the word "block" sounds not so good as a verb: "make the movement or flow in (a passage, pipe, road, etc.) difficult or impossible."

//update:
GemPay will stop operating at the end of this month..

Any reasons why GemPay stops operating? I use their wallet for test reasons and to follow chats on Telegram. Are they out of money?

It seems the mobile app GemWallet stopped operating, but I'm not sure about the payment gateway nor the reason. Just Googled.

nice. we will keep the green (int'l color of money) though.
i like the rounded corners, good idea, we will make the edit. thank you! :)

[bitsharesbrazil]

pretty smooth the second one

[Geneko]

If I may suggest slight corrections, the original logo is on the left and suggested on the right.

The edges should look more smooth, like adding some fillet to sharp edges.
And color should be more natural.

P.S. I thought you need only ideas. I am not a professional designer and I don't expect any compensation for my work. I would only like to see your project succeed.

The first one is the best in my eyes...

I do not like the chosen logo at all... it means nothing for me... there were really great other logos, like BlockPOS with smartcoin logos... these looked great... But the chosen logo? Does not explain anything...

Here are my final updates:

[Geneko]

I have been working on one more. Now I hear you have changed name and already decided on logo.
I have finished it and updated name and in case you need some more :)



GOOD Luck!!

It's better that we get it changed now too before the marketing really gets rolling. I have steemit posts mention the old name, and chris and rodrigo has just got a domain and social sites created (but no followers yet), so now is the best time to get this done.

I think this will be the best decision, thank you for the heads up guys.

(i have to erase the old word from my memory uugh)

ok @tbone you got it, the product is now BlockPay

BlockPay "S" (the standalone app) and BlockPay for Odoo will have to be edited in those apps in the next couple days which pushes their release back just a bit, but after discussing this with chris and rodrigo, they agree that we should not use POS in the name.

Giropay, worldpay, chasepay, paypal, vpay (visa) - a lot of the major networks all use the word pay in their name too, so if we are going to compete with those guys then we might as well have a name that is similar.

We got our logo decided upon a couple hours ago too, I hope you like it:

Actually I like BlockPay, but doesn't that have a word/servicemark already?
Or BlocPay? (without the k)

The word itself will be advertised globally, so this has to be an international reserved word for us.
