Logo Design Brief
Darkcoin is a new digital currency like Bitcoin, focusing on privacy, security & anonymity.
We are still a new organisation, so our style is evolving. We need a new logo that will serve as the foundation of a rebranding effort. We are looking for a positive, bright, accessible image emphasising trust, privacy & security. You might draw inspiration from our existing logo (http://darkcoin.io/), or come up with something completely new. We have some community-created art that you might also draw inspiration from: http://imgur.com/a/3LCoa
The design should communicate privacy and security. Simplicity is generally better. As an example: we like vertcoin's logo.
The design may (optionally) incorporate the D-with-downward-slash as per the existing logo, and/or the text "Darkcoin".
Updates
I thought it might be useful to give you a peek at the range of other currencies we're trying to differentiate ourselves from. Take a look: https://poloniex.com/

- It would be nice to have part or all of the logo recognisable when shrunk down to icon size.
