I love them. My favourite header is the down right, I like the way it shows that Gridcoin is a network.
The secret identities are great for targeting an specific audience. For example explore for an astronomic website or cure for a medical website. I will change the message for the decode identity, I think break codes has a negative meesage, I would change it for something like verify encryption.
Thanks @ropaga! I like that header too - I have a few designs following that theme that I'll push out for community use so you should see those popping up on Steemit soon :)
You're right - they're a great way to target a specific audience! I like the ideas you've put forward - I'll reconsider 'break codes' too, I just quite liked the play between "write code / break codes" :)
Oh Well this is stunning work my dear ! Especially the ads I really fell in love with them and will use them as soon as possible. Kinda love the idea and since am I coder by day I feel very much intrigued by this one specific ad. Thanks alot ! You ll get my full 100 percent vote ( worth exactly 0.01 and a beer if we ever happen to cross paths ) ;)
Why thank you! Glad you like the idea - I look forward to developing it further and seeing how it tests. Your 100% vote is much appreciated - I'll take you up on the offer of that beer should be cross paths in the future :)
Nice idea! I might give that a shot and see how it looks. The self-transaction really bugged me - tough to think of any way to display that. Let me have a play with the ideas you've presented and we'll see what I end up with :)
IMO, using the logos in these icons is overdoing it. I would like the logo to exist at the top of the wallet as it does now and in the tray etc but not as part of the transaction icons.
Or maybe it's just because its in all of the TX icons.
Very true - it is a bit much to be in every icon! I suppose I went down that path since that's how the wallet currently does it - a version of the old logo is used for every form of transaction, so I thought I should be true to that design choice. I am, of course, more than happy to work up alternate versions excluding the logo should that be preferable :)
I think I've been running some iteration of BOINC since about 1999 - that old SETI screensaver really captured my imagination! You should definitely check out the current scene - there's plenty of interesting projects you can contribute to and the Gridcoin you'll earn for doing so are a great extra reward :)
Hope so! I'll be testing them alongside some more traditional banner ad's, so we can easily track their performance all thanks to Google's analytics :)
Thanks for the detailed update and all your hard work on making Gridcoin standout from the crowd.
The new logo with the blocks looks great. I also like where you are going with the banners and if I saw that banner ad I would be tempted to click on it :-)
For the icons can I suggest incorporating arrows into the send and receive similar to Bitcoin core. I also think the research reward icon would look better without the logo in the middle.
I'll certainly work arrows into those icons to see how they fit, or perhaps reconsider their design and create something similar to the Bitcoin Core screenshot you shared over on Slack - thanks for that! I also have an alternative version of the PoR icon without the logo - in fact, I have variants of that icon in just about every shape flask you could imagine too, haha. Gotta love a good Erlenmeyer flask though ;)
Anyway, I digress - the real beauty of switching over to .svg icons is in their adaptability - they're easy to replace and easy to re-colour, so it becomes very simple to tweak the designs going forwards should we need to :)
Ive been watching this coin. Might be time for me to pull the trigger!!
Yes, now is the time. It is undervalued compared to other distributed computing coins like Golem and SONM that don't even have working systems yet.

Great work, I like the new transaction ikons.
On the PoS reward one, could you make it look like the % symbol with two small GRC symbols replacing the 0s, sorta like
Except , y'know, done by someone with talent...
And the send to self again the small symbol with a circular arrow sorta like
Just suggestions, Im sure you guys know best.

You did such a nice thing with the Research ikon making it intuitive, it seemed good to try something similar with the others

Yeah maybe you are right, it should look good thats the #1 point
Love the new logo!
I will have to check out the site. Back in the day, I ran various programs 24/7. Mostly focused on health issues, like the defunct findadrug.
It is so nice to see that people can be compensated for this work now!

I started around that time, also.
Folding@home was my main project. Wish I could collect on that. Lol!
I'm sorry I stopped but my computers were not good enough to be worthwhile.
I am sure you will be seeing a lot of me soon!
Great!! Look more interactive!!! The iconic. The more cute the interface that it have, the more people like to see and eagerly to know. Well done
Superb work. Thanks a lot! Massive improvement!
The secret Identities are awesome. I bet we can grab a lot attention by using them for advertisement

Vectors are great.
