Designing a logo for BlockPay...

[kenCode]

I'm a BIG fan of minimalism

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

How about these:

Everytime I see POS, I immediately think "piece of shit".

I didn't even like the name OPENPOS, but didn't think it was a big deal since it wasn't consumer facing.

Ken, is there any way you could remove POS from the logo?

You want Ken to make a major change from opinion in a sample size of one?

Wow! So simple, now we're talkin'
The POS must be in all caps as you have done, just like that: BlockPOS
 
It doesn't say anything about accepting cryptocurrency payments though, maybe de-emphasize the word BlockPOS a bit so that there is more room for the chain or block or image showing crypto payments in some way?

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!

Hi, kenCode.
kenCode，你好！

Thanks for your contribution that has been made for the BitShares Community, I designed a LOGO for BlockPOS. Hope to provide you with an idea.
感谢你一直以来为比特股社区做出的贡献，我为 BlockPOS 设计了一个 LOGO，希望能给你提供一个思路。

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.

Well, yes and no. I would like people to think of it more as a network, where when you see the BlockPOS logo, you know you will be able to spend your crypto there, whatever that may be. BitShares Munich has a logo, but I want to push our product out there above anything else.
 
Just fyi, I thought of the qr code thing too, but our wallets and such will be supporting nfc very soon, so I decided to stay away from incorporating the qr into the logo.
 
I thought maybe some blocks, or something that represents the word BlockPOS, or blockchain, or point of sale, something that a merchant or customer could both identify with. Take a look at these examples:
