Can you imagine a successful salesman who sell grin to serious investors?

I absolutely agree, marketing and logo for Grin is garbage. Looks like crazy joker guy, mixed in with privacy coin, not a good image ---

The logo looks probably too overwhelming for the long term or the average Joe. the logo doesn’t transpire peace of mind in it, which can be problematic. I wouldn’t put grin logo on the wall of a kid’s bedroom, as he may do nightmares because of it. That being said, I think we are not far from having the right balance. I ve seen a few tries that I liked better. Satoshi did the first bitcoin logo (the BC logo), and it was changed later ---

Tend to agree. It smacks of something a bunch of ideological college students came up with for a laugh and it is kinda likeable in that way, but not for a serious, ambitious project that has as its goal to globally replace money. Whether you like it or not, perception is important for socializing adoption of things - if it wasn’t the global advertising industry would not be worth USD 0.5 trillion. Who remembers the GRIDPad tablet from 1989? A tablet computer called the iPad created by marketing genius S. Jobs has had slightly more impact… ---

Who would have thought the most popular company in the world would be called “Apple” and would literally have an Apple as their logo. How silly is that? An apple? come on, that’s totally unprofessional. They must be taking the piss. No one is seriously going to buy their tech product are they? ---

it’s not a problem of Grin logo is a smiley face. it’s a problem of what kind of emotion that smiley face is transmitting. For now it is super cheeky and provoking, and definitely neither neutral or appeasing. when you look at bitcoin logo, the “money eyes”, dring dring, illuminate immediately (casino association, dollars association, whatever, it goes straight to it, and doesn’t care of the rest of the world). this a feature, not a bug when you look at grin logo, it’s more underground and emotions from the logo are less simple, or easing, as I see (feel) them. it’s a combination of the MW eyes with the mysterious smile. we can chose to fix that while keeping a smiley face. ---

Look at amazon’s logo, it also has smiley. Maybe we should a little change our logo ![](https://www.broadcastingcable.com/.image/t_share/MTU0MjAzNTg4NzA5NTI0ODE2/amazon-logo-16x9jpg.jpg) ---

Precisely. Because it’s not about what the logo **is** , it’s about what it **conveys**. An apple has lots of positive associations - wholesome, healthy, source of nourishment, natural, green, timeless, ubiquitous, begins with ‘A’, helped uncover gravity(!) etc etc ---

An apple has lots of positive associations - wholesome, healthy, source of nourishment, natural, green, timeless, ubiquitous, begins with ‘A’, helped uncover gravity(!) etc etc Yes, this is marketing, but not only perception is important, it is also important how beautiful the picture is and how much it attracts. She must give the first association. It must be positive. But it’s hard to say about the Android icon, although it is far from the last in the market. Maybe something else means? ---

A grin has lots of positive associations aswell. So does a banana. ---

😀 … funny… but we’re talking about adoption by users, not adoption by academics. If the project is only trying to attract graduate student cryptographers it will remain a very rarefied entity indeed, given the expected size of such a target group. ---

By far most important goal is attracting academics, mathematicians cryptographers. Nothing else even comes close. Grin was designed to give us DECADES before we have to worry about adoption, decades to work on the cryptography and make it ready. Grin is far from ready for the mainstream. Years and years and years. [Previous page](https://forum.grin.mw/t/3-reasons-why-beam-is-winning/6119.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forum.grin.mw/t/3-reasons-why-beam-is-winning/6119.md?page=3)
