FTC currency sign - Voting Requested

Tuck Fheman

Ï•

Phi (“f”). The lower-case letter Ï† (or often its variant, Ï•) is often used to represent: The golden ratio in mathematics, art, and architecture.

So you have both “f” and math represented.

So besides some wonderful custom made fonts so far we got proposals for various Unicode characters
A copy and paste Unicode character readable in most browsers across the world has my preference
I came across suggestions for
[size=24pt]Æ’ Ò’ â„± Æ’ â‚£ á¸ž[/size] and [size=24pt]Ï•[/size]

I suppose the feather symbolizes the coin’s characteristics of being smooth.
In this context I believe
[size=24pt]Æ’[/size]and [size=24pt]â„±[/size]
are best choices.
To my feeling the first further symbolizes FTC being easy, light and fast.
Since were talking about a new crypto currency it’s a matter of taste to go for retro or art nouveau, so arguably a better choice is
[size=24pt]Æ’[/size] or [size=24pt]Ò’[/size]

I have to admit that Ò’ is very easy to write and remember although my symbol is very nice for printing on coin like smoothie is making for LTC.

To symbolize the fact that feathercoin transactions are very fast perhaps the proposed Ò’ could be written in italic:
[i][size=24pt]Ò’[/size][/i]

I like Ï†

And thing is, if Feathercoin does come to have an underground market named Olympus, it would make sense to have a Greek letter as the currency abbreviation :P

I don’t think we can do a BitCoinTalk style poll on here, or can we?

Thank you for organizing this poll. I’ve added to find a good polling mod for SMF for future community votes.

I hope I didn’t leave any out.

Currently [i]Ò’[/i] in the lead ;)

Keep them votes coming! 28 people voted so far 8)

hehe 36 voters 48 votes–someone not quite playing right lol

I made it so people can vote for more then 1 choice but only once per option. As I have two favorites, I’m sure others have too ;) This way we will see which one will get to the top! 8)

i must say I like the feather in the logo better than all the choices. ;D ;D ;D

Just for those who want to see what it looks like as a price tag…

áš 24.99
Ò’24.99
Ò’24.99
â‚£24.99
á¸ž24.99
â„±24.99
Æ’24.99
Ï•24.99
Æ’24.99
Ï†24.99

I know people hate the 99 cents thing, but I added it just so you can see it as a decimal too. Anyway, I voted for this one Ï†24.99 but no one likes it :'( Oh nooooes. Seriously though, I think it’s unique and something different than the ordinary letters we see everywhere. Plus it seems sort of otherworldy like a videogame currency symbol or something haha. But if people voted for it you would make me very happy! ;D Lol

I think the [b]Ï•[/b] and [b]Ï†[/b] symbols votes should be combined and let people decide which to use in any instance.

The reasoning being, for computer/math/architects/artist/etc they will want to use the golden ratio math symbol [b]Ï•[/b] (my assumption), while others may prefer [b]Î¦[/b] (uppercase ‘f’ [modern]) or [b]Ï†[/b] (lowercase ‘f’ [modern]) which could also be used to denote a full Feathercoin [b]Î¦[/b]3.00 or a partial feathercoin [b]Ï†[/b]0.30.

For some, they may see these symbols and be drawn to them for other reasons (just sayin’) and it may bring good karma. ;)

What voting system is this?

You can mark more than one sign?
Blank fielda for voting to?

No wonder we have more votes than people who voted!
