There is no denying this is a stunning looking coin, my only concern would be the lack of design on the other side. It would have to match as the "punched out" section would be repeated.
I think it makes more sense to have a round that is cost-effective to make. I really like this design, but if it's going to be cost-prohibitive to manufacture, we could do a different design for the coin and use this one as a logo for the group.
I also want the micro chip to be real and rfid ready so it can have vessel embedded inside and so I can scan and pay for stuff with my Steem and steal market share from apple, visa, & mastercard over the next 10 years.....that's not asking too much is it?
It is the cut out that takes this design to another level, it would be a shame to let cost dictate our decisions. All of us with a serial number under 100 could pay for the coin up front or a donation towards the extra cost, whatever it takes to make this coin a reality, even if to reduce the manufacturing cost we make 100 of the cut outs and the rest are not cut out.
Now the modified pic with the logo filled in is just as nice and still gets my vote and the date on the chip is just class. We could have a slot in the top of it to fit a lithium battery and have built in micro led's that all light up and have a wireless usb memory drive built into it and a locator chip should it ever get stolen, oh and if you whistle it beeps
Ooooh ooooh and it could also be programmed with keyless entry technology for your car so it unlocks the doors when you approach and turns on the ignition for that matter. But i was a fool to think about merely inserting a lithium battery, its silver and solar pannels are somewhat silver! incorporate its own tiny solar pannel! its injenius!!! It would have more technology than the moon landings
i saw a thing about nanobots made of silver, powered by bacteria. Maybe a sweat powered pocket piece with led's that charges in the day and glows at night :)
There we go, bacteria munching nanobots; stick a couple of them in it, i would let them evolve and see if they avdance enough to invent rocket technology and attempt to fly to another silver coin system, land on and colonise a 2014 kookaburra! One small step for nanobots, one giant (inaudible) for steemit rounds.
I would love to see this one with cut-out... even as a second, 2oz limited release edition at a premium price, it there were enough pre-orders to cover all costs.
Is this meant to replace the obverse of the 2017 round? Or will we end up with a round that just has 2 big STEEM logos on it?
Don't get me wrong, I think this is a killer design!
I'm just not too keen on having a silver round that is just 2 STEEM logos. If we use this to replace the obverse from 2017 and still pick a second design from the others submitted I'm 100% on board with that!
Without the cutout I don't think this design should win, because there's a big Steem logo on the other side of the coin, unless this was for the other side of the coin!
Yes. Once people realize the punch out is prohibitive at this time I think it will not win. It is an awesome design and something that should be considered in the future, but may not give it as much uniqueness like some of the other designs.
Can the designer provide a render without the cut? I think that it would be better to vote on that one because I believe that if we cant see it, we cant vote on it.
I also loved the design when I first saw it but this photo is kind of misleading if this will not be the final design.
I agree I love it with the cutout but not so much without it, it's a bit misleading I agree because people are voting for the cutout design when that isn't what we will get!
Instead of fully cutting it out, you could also do a very deep imprint on that side, so the Steem logo is very recessed. That would ensure the other side is flat for whatever design is printed there. Might have to make the coin just a little thicker to accommodate.
Is this for replacing the front or will the front and back be basically the same?
What happend to the whole push of trying to keep it like the one from last year so they stay a series?
Have we moved away from having a direction or a message to the lack of everything?
IDK
I like this better then some of the messages people are trying to push on their coin but am confused as how this meets up with anything people were saying this years new coin should have in it.
i like fat elvis's front side ideas of no rim, but i dont like the idea of both sides basically the same.
the cut through i like it reminds me of my old subway tokens i been saving from my childhood but without the cut out its kinda ehh IMO.
with that said if its that over thee same pict on both sides vs some genocide slogan of a race by way of artistic pessuasion then i pick the no slogan medocore circut board noncense.
LOl
Remember thats IMO and im a prick cause im honest.
:D
I gotta' vote on this one too, but with cut-out, even if it amped the cost. It's stunning!
We realize if we did a cut out of the steem logo the other side would be mirrored...... backward.....
There is no denying this is a stunning looking coin, my only concern would be the lack of design on the other side. It would have to match as the "punched out" section would be repeated.
I saw it as not going all
The way through...
that would be a good point, super polished recessed steem logo, like mirror finished?
Sexy!
I think it makes more sense to have a round that is cost-effective to make. I really like this design, but if it's going to be cost-prohibitive to manufacture, we could do a different design for the coin and use this one as a logo for the group.
Just weighing in... i’n sure the community will make the correct choice.
yup would get 10 of that one
I also want the micro chip to be real and rfid ready so it can have vessel embedded inside and so I can scan and pay for stuff with my Steem and steal market share from apple, visa, & mastercard over the next 10 years.....that's not asking too much is it?
I think it's completely reasonable haha
see...i knew the designer would agree

You just got people thinking about next years design for sure! :)
Ooooh ooooh and it could also be programmed with keyless entry technology for your car so it unlocks the doors when you approach and turns on the ignition for that matter.

now that's some ambitious features !
You can always negotiate with @dandesign86 to purchase a copy of the 3D file; then adapt it for your desired features ;)
It's an elegant design even without the cut-out
poor taste....cut-outs are like rip jeans, it's sexy
fashion comes and goes, elegance is forever
sexy is forever and then a bit more
...a bit of drool
Stunning, clear vote for #27!
Gorgeous coin!
I like this one
Beautiful design!
WE WANT THE PUNCH!
I would love to see this one with cut-out... even as a second, 2oz limited release edition at a premium price, it there were enough pre-orders to cover all costs.
A nice clean design, and just think about all the extra coins that could be minted with all those cut outs ;-D
The only thing #27 needs is the year
Certainly a futuristic and cool design... well done @dandesigns86
By far the stand out entry for me! Very clean and simple yet conveying a strong identity of our community! It's got to be the winner!😆👍
Absolutely love it! You can send me a bag full of these please ;P
Amazing design!
Absolutely love the design! Very cool.
Perhaps make a standard and a limited special edition with the cuts? Either way this one gets one out three of my votes.
I like this one. In my opinion, this one have everything to win this contest. Good luck to everyone.
Is this meant to replace the obverse of the 2017 round? Or will we end up with a round that just has 2 big STEEM logos on it?
Don't get me wrong, I think this is a killer design!
I'm just not too keen on having a silver round that is just 2 STEEM logos. If we use this to replace the obverse from 2017 and still pick a second design from the others submitted I'm 100% on board with that!
Just my 0.02 SBD...
Without the cutout I don't think this design should win, because there's a big Steem logo on the other side of the coin, unless this was for the other side of the coin!
hmmm... does that open the possibility for there to be two winning designs ?
this one for the front, another for the back ?
Of course that would require this one be adapted to hold the extra information like purity, etc, you can see on the 2017 Steem Round's front side.
Yes. Once people realize the punch out is prohibitive at this time I think it will not win. It is an awesome design and something that should be considered in the future, but may not give it as much uniqueness like some of the other designs.
#27 all the way. I love this design. Very elegant and classic. Thumbs up from me.
Definitely with the cut out. That's too cool for school!
Can the designer provide a render without the cut? I think that it would be better to vote on that one because I believe that if we cant see it, we cant vote on it.
I also loved the design when I first saw it but this photo is kind of misleading if this will not be the final design.
I made the updated design and sent to @phelimint, I think he will update it soon
I agree I love it with the cutout but not so much without it, it's a bit misleading I agree because people are voting for the cutout design when that isn't what we will get!
Plus the design on the reverse would be greatly hindered due to the cut-out.
Me too. Cut out in or out.
This one is sexy as hell.
I think including some kind of community symbol on the upper microchip would make this design even better ;)
Instead of fully cutting it out, you could also do a very deep imprint on that side, so the Steem logo is very recessed. That would ensure the other side is flat for whatever design is printed there. Might have to make the coin just a little thicker to accommodate.
This one is brilliant
Is this for replacing the front or will the front and back be basically the same?

I like this better then some of the messages people are trying to push on their coin but am confused as how this meets up with anything people were saying this years new coin should have in it.
We are only going to replace the side of the coin that bearone designed. This side will stay the same:
Yeah thats what i thought too, so both sides will be basically the same.
lol
I agree with you, it is not to discredit his great work, but I also did after front designs that could also compete if we want to have two equal sides
i like fat elvis's front side ideas of no rim, but i dont like the idea of both sides basically the same.
the cut through i like it reminds me of my old subway tokens i been saving from my childhood but without the cut out its kinda ehh IMO.
with that said if its that over thee same pict on both sides vs some genocide slogan of a race by way of artistic pessuasion then i pick the no slogan medocore circut board noncense.
LOl
Remember thats IMO and im a prick cause im honest.
:D
Yeah.. Which is why I think we stay away from this design for this round.
Looks like the upvote bots like it.
:D
He with the most alt accounts and upvote bots makes the choice i think.
lol
I like it better then some, the full punch through was badass but it cant b done so yeah
If it could have been done it would have been KILLER!
Those upvote bots are going to town on it! haha
steemit life.
lol
There can only be "ONE"😂😂😂
This one for me.
my vote to #27 @dandesign86
I personally like #27. Nice job.
Hopefully I can get one of these rounds when they come out. It'd be a nice addition to the silver I already have.
1 vote for this one! (3 of 3)
this is sick I think
This one is legit
It is a handsome design :P
I like this design jb
Thanks buddy !
