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

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.
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: For Press releases (CC BY-SA 4.0): https://ipfs.pics/ipfs/QmNZQeZoAoqVb2cYGfzNApw4WJTuuoQ3VRiQvAGEWb4hKY
Well, I can't say I agree on the POS acronym, I never would have thought of using those words for POS. If a logo is done right though, you really don't even need words to describe it. Let the logo be the brand. Anyway, not sure if that is an American thing, or it's just that there are a lot of acronyms for every little thing now.. hell I just learned what tldr meant just a couple of months ago. cli about 6 months ago. lulz about a year ago. We had terms quite a bit different in my hayday like sysop, sysadmin, 9600, haha, dos prompt, quackintosh, and screw you hippie.

Cirrus, Star, Giropay, vPay, DirectDebit, EC, and so on...

cool, how about a completely different design, something that just screams blockchain-based point of sale systems.. sorry, i am so bad at design and explaining this
....and one more
nice @Yao those are a little bit "busy" for my taste, but the block is definitely on the right path. can we go even more minimalist with it? thanx guys!
Block POS is the name of the product, right? Do you really want make a logo for a product? Wouldn't it make more sense to make a logo for an company/entity? I would love to see you come up with an entity name with the word "Pay" or "Payments". Something like Smartcoin Payments. So that's the entity. Then you could have products like Smartcoin POS, Smartcoin Wallet, etc. Or something along those lines. Just throwing it out there.
