I think it is really necessary to have a design and a logo for this project. 99designs seems like a good solution for this task. See here the logo result and the different proposals for a very similar project: [http://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/create-logo-socially-positive-currency-445660](http://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/create-logo-socially-positive-currency-445660) I personally would prefer a more “serious” design. What do you think? Is there anything better than 99designs? ---

Here’s my basic idea for the Florin: ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/aboutcircles/original/1X/0411191e58117e0c5c7b4227ad08e6748e41bfca.jpg) ---

Take care with buying a logo without exclusive rights. My logo for Bitsquare I bought at shutterstock quite cheap, but discovered later plenty of similar or nearly equal logos, one even in a very similar space (Social media - Bitcoin project). ---

thank for the hint and congratulation to the very cool bitsquare project. I need to look deeper into it. I think with pages like 99designs you get all the right, but sometimes the “devil is in the detail”. ---

Hi Martin, this is a wonderful project, that I have been following for a while. I thought at some point in the past I’ve seen a circles logo, which was basically just a blue circle, but couldn’t find it any more. In any case, I liked that idea very much, because it reminded me of a japanese Ensō ([Ensō - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ens%C5%8D)). I don’t fully understand the symbol in the Logo that you just posted (Is it the letters making up the word “circles”?). In any case, here a poor manifestation of what I thought I had seen before. ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/aboutcircles/original/1X/b45c9611d04d99523d117e70f35f673e5d220206.png) Cheers, Bernhard ---

Hi there, just discovered this - the idea of cryotocyrrencies being used for UBI I think is brilliant - I am a designer by trade so wondered if you minded me having a play with the logo/coin etc? ---

Hey Thom! Thanks for the kind words! Sure - if you want to make improvements or come up with alternatives you are very welcome 🙂 ---

By the way, my brother worked on a background/atmosphere video with the currently Circles logo: [https://www.dropbox.com/s/r7bmckpeidq6b7t/CIRCLES%20LOOP%20verbessert.wmv?dl=0](https://www.dropbox.com/s/r7bmckpeidq6b7t/CIRCLES%20LOOP%20verbessert.wmv?dl=0) ---

So, going by the classic, blue is trustworthy, with a dash of green for growth colour scheme, I’ve put together this logo. Geometric type fits with the name circles, rounded terminals echo this shape and provides a soft friendly appearance. Finally, the logo mark features the “C” protectively wrapping around the all inclusive circle. See what you think! Bit of fun at least 😄 ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/aboutcircles/original/1X/91283334d69cf01fe00507695bac1fbbf0955876.png)
