      @Smoothie:
      The more people using the logo the better, but I was thinking about even more PR for feathercoin, in a way that the more things are settled the easier it will be to use and to promote.
      I’m talking about future businesses and services who might consider using a shorthand notation for FTC.

        +1 in a sense it is also branding on a micro level of text.

            Agreed. Now is the time to get this figured out before we have inconsistencies between future merchants.

                      How about this Ò’, it’s a cyrillic script.

                          Alternatively the old French Franc sign â‚£ could be used.

                          I am French, and I never saw “â‚£” sign in France before Euro came in 2002. I discovered it on Wikipedia just a few moments ago lol

                          We used only “F” sign for “Franc”, and sometimes “FF” (French Franc)

                          Anyway, “â‚£” would be my choice for Feathercoin, it seems all major currencies have a dash into their symbol ;)

                            Fehu aside, though I’m probably wrong on its connection… the symbol has to be an existing unicode character. Simply so that users can type it without relying on finding a font file to produce it. It would be nice to design our own one,

                              There is also “[url=http://graphemica.com/Æ’]Latin capital letter f with hook[/url]” in the Unicode table.

                              [size=72pt]Æ’[/size]

                              Although there are various glyphs of this letter.

                                  at first I liked “â‚£”. But it’s in the Franco logo so I would avoid that. I would avoid any currency sign for a currency in usage (like the ฿ of Bitcoin that is the thai Baht currency sign of thailand)
                                  [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_sign]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Currency_sign[/url]

                                  their is a lot of stylish F a like in the unicode that should be good to go

                                  http://unicode-search.net/unicode-namesearch.pl?term=F

                                  my favorite was U+1D571 but it can’t print in forum correctly without lots of work so a no go

                                  we also have the feather one

                                  U+169B áš› e1 9a 9b OGHAM FEATHER MARK
                                  U+169C ᚜ e1 9a 9c OGHAM REVERSED FEATHER MARK
                                  U+2F7B â½» e2 bd bb KANGXI RADICAL FEATHER

                                    From the list that groll posted that would actually show up correctly on my computer, I like the Fraktur symbol U+1D509

                                    A non-letter symbol as he suggested would also be unique and interesting.
