The demonetize logo

As you can see, we started with a project logo, which is a »coin« (not any specific one) with is crossed out by a red »x« to signal: Let’s get rid of money. On a friendly mailinglist (the commoning-list) we got some feedback saying:

  • the logo is not clear enough concerning different intercultural readings
  • the coin is not clearly identifiable as such
  • the red »x« could be read as an approval (like in votings)

There have been some proposal to solve this ambiguity:

  • use of a pile of coins replacing the single coin
  • use of a »let’s get rid of«-logo like in this post
  • use of a generic currency symbol (however, the currency sign seems to be too abstract)
  • use of the word »NO« instead of the red »x«
  • find a new logo

Do you have some more ideas or proposals or sketches? Please leave a comment!

[Update] Here are two new drafts using a pile of coins:

(smaller cross)

 

 

 

(thicker cross)

This is the final new logo (please use this instead of the old one above with the single coin):
