ツ vs Current Brand

[Neo]

I wrote this post a while back, but it’s kind of relevant to this discussion. I think the perspective of some people is that Grin is not ready yet for mainstream adoption and won’t be for a long time. So we’re not even trying to attract users yet, we’re trying to attract devs. Not saying this is the best approach, just pointing it out.

@Neo

Before adoption by ‘users’, we need to create a Grin ecosystem, which requires extensive development. This development needs to come from open source contributors ( or Maven’s): Academics, cryptographers, geeks, nerds, ideological college kids, hobbyist coders, cypherpunks, devs who quit corporate careers/ or are secretly working on the side. Grin’s rebellious, provocative, edgy looking logo is ideal for attracting these kinds of people.

IMO from a branding perspective one of the biggest drawcards of using ツ is that could create a seamless design between the currency symbol and logo

@brent

Since this text symbol is already being co-opted by grin ツ, I’d suggest growing on that and making a logo version that’s more fleshed out and ownable, then when you write it as this text-based version it also looks a lot like the full version.
