If you've been doing some digging into Tauchain Agoras, then it's mostly likely that you're already in the Telegram group. But if you're not, and want to weigh in on your favourite logos, you're invited to get into https://t.me/tauchain to vote. Please note that this refers to the logo contest that has just recently concluded. Once you're in the Telegram group, please check the pinned message for the voting procedures on the final set of logos.
To everybody that has submitted - thank you for your participation! The winning designs will be announced in two weeks, before the end of April 2018.
On a personal note:
My favourite logos are the ones submitted by @capitanart here: https://busy.org/@capitanart/we-present-to-you-the-implementation-of-our-proposal. Some thoughts on my picks:-
Why this Tau logo?
I like that it's a cross between a type and a symbol. Moreover, the saturated seapunk colour palette is striking and largely untapped in the cryptocurrency market or anywhere else in general. I've never come across such an edgy blockchain, so it's quite fitting for maximum logo peacocking. It looks fresh.
Why this Agoras logo?
Having a logo that clearly shows "a" instead of Bitcoin's "b", dressed similarly in Bitcoin's gold is somewhat poetic. If the project works, Agoras could end up being the alpha coin of coins. In that case, I'd prefer something strongly simple, symmetrical, and familiar. It's a fitting design space for such an epic coin..
If you've read til this part, you must've noticed that I'm just trying to reason out my preference in logos with some important sounding words. But I hope they made some sense.
My second choice for the same reasons would be @orelmely's logo designs.
If you've actually read through this entire post and don't even know what project I'm talking about here, then check this FAQ on Reddit out, if you're curious. For me, the reading material that made me put some serious time looking into this project was @trafalgar's What Is Tau? - My Only Other Crypto Investment. To be honest, now it's the only blockchain project I'm into other than Steem these days.
When I design something and I see it finished I consider it as a newborn child, ready to grow and have personality. This opportunity is something out of series, it's such a big project !! There are no words to describe what I feel if my design is chosen. Thank you all for your support
Okay, Okay I'll join telegram, you win :D
Between the two choices, i think i prefer Agoras logo - its simple but elegant.
it's one for each - tauchain and agoras, they're different entities.
Yes, before I go to bed, I pray beside both of these logos to Satoshi sensei so they will x500 and bring a lot of moneys to people invested in them! True story!!
I agree with choosing design from @capitanart.
Their presentation are really well thought, they bring out the message of what Tauchain & Agoras really are, simple and clean, easy to adapt on any platform. That's how a good design presentation should be.
@kevinwong thank you very much for your comments! We have really enjoyed developing our proposal because we love the Tauchain / Agoras project.
How long did it take? It's awesome work! All the best in the contest by the way
Hey, @kevinwong, it’s a logo, so maximum peacocking is pretty important. Aesthetics & a sense of the poetic are how I make decisions in my life — big & small (& I know I’m not alone)!
Slightly off topic, but sis-in-law (cultured, intelligent, well-traveled gal) asked me the other day if I knew any blockchain developers for some rather nifty health, anthropological ideas she has & my mind swerved to you. And leads, Boss?
Not many good blockchain devs, but Steem's Smart Media Tokens seem to be good for anyone with some entrepreneurial idea without requiring heavy dev skills :)
Thanks, for this, Kevin. Will keep in mind and pass on lead :)

A lot of my biz dev friends seem to like it :)
Sis in law is a medical anthropologist & fascinated by the possibilities of blockchain— hence, she’s keen to get quotes from developers, so she can figure out how to bring her own ideas to the blockchain 🤓
I have saved this article and will read the Raddit FAQ next time, including reading links about SMTs.

Thank you for sharing @kevinwong.
No problem @ayijufridar. How did the talk go by the way?
For you to have chosen your favourites already, does it mean they are already the winner? Are you one of the judges to decide?
I havnt voted though but I think I will do just that...
Nope I'm just a voter like everyone else. Only relaying a reminder here.
Both projects are interesting for me to take. but considering the density of activities during this time, it will need deep consideration. the first project becomes my choice, if only one project is possible to complete. besides that the first project can simultaneously improve the work as a designer.
thanks for giving good information @kevinwong
Both logos look good!
@kevinwong Did you invest much in tauchain/agoras?
It's my 2nd main holding after steem
I really like the option with the letter A ON a YELLOW BACKGROUND. Indeed, it looks like a hint of superiority and confidence.
inclined to agree!
The Agoras logo is my choice. Simple, elegant, and I think it says everything it should.
Tauchain / Agoras are two separate entities, so it's one logo for each :)
Awesome :) Is there a reason why you chose the first version of my logos? Personally, I like the second version better, because I tweaked them for low res. here they are:
https://steemit.com/tauchain/@crypticalias/let-s-design-a-logo-for-tauchain-and-agoras
But if you like the first version better, that's also ok :)
Oh no particular reason. And the compiler of the final set of logos isn't me, I'm just the messenger :)
If possible, please join the telegram group and search for @Isar. PM him about your preference for the contest submission and he will change it.
Going with Tau, eye catching with colors and text.
I bet to Totally agree with you on your choice, not because of favouritism or to be liked by you, but the truth of the matter is that those logos actually depicted what they are made for.
Bitcoin is now a trademark with the B boldly displayed on their logo. This has given bitcoin a very distinctive mark to the extent that you don't even need to look at the logo twice to know that it is bitcoin. So I think the logo is worth selecting.
The tau logo also depicted what it stands for. The letters were well designed and calved so well to attached to the next letter.
I must give kudos to the designer, that was really a display of ingenuity and high level of professionalism.
If were to vote, I would definitely go for both logos.
Tau looking elegant as always :) that's so cool
I didnt know it has a tele group, i didnt participant of this contest but i like same with you choose, it kind like simply logo and easy to remember, so when someone fisrt time see it, he will remember that logo was tauchain and agoras. Congrat if he win :3
two amazing projects. if you have to choose one, it will be difficult to make a choice. if you have to take both, still have doubts about my ability. letting them both pass, including wasting opportunities. still at the assumption stage, the first project will be fun. according to the hobby. Thanks @kevinwong for this informations
both are exclusive, great color scheme
a very good logo for Tauchain
agoras logo is awesome
dear@kevinwong i chose Agoras logo.
This is the most easiest way presented to get into your favourite group... Without any hardwork just one click and there you go..
wahhh, thanks for your information, thanks you so much,
I'm going to the frequent questions I do not understand much but I find it interesting, So I'm going to the link
Didn’t know actually about it. Sounds exciting! I will definitely look at it. Choose my favorite logo.
I hope to see on point logos soon. They'll sure make sense
Yo Kevin, checked out my entry yet? =P
zing!
Greatchoice,,,, you have good taste ,,, hope you success in this new project ,,, I am sure you can. keep spirit ,,,
Great adventure. Wishing you success. I upvote, resteem and follow you.
I do not have any of these, it's like a contest
I don't have logo vafuorite me
Bravo mr @kevinwong..
It's a good post .. Cool that !! I like ..👍👍
Good news ...🙏
I think both the prospects are great but I will vote for the Tau logo
I also enjoyed @voronoi's design a lot.
Ready I will choose a new logo, lol😊
Hey @kevinwong, I have been trying to find you on steemchat and discord but can't find you. I have become a dolphin today. Come over and see. Thank you for your support always.
Hi me @willyana steemit Indonesia. I just read this info, thanks for sharing. regards.
Nothing about the telegram token. It's crazy for them to be raising in the order of billions so be careful.
