I would ask the designer for a stylized version which is suitable for engraving or similar (it would look a little different but I’m confident its doable). Might come in handy someday.[/quote]
That’s my favorite, as well, but I would recommend just using the Peerb[]x word without the large box icon above it, depending on the requirements of the situation.

That’s 7 people. 
The covered leaf is terrific in triggering one’s imagination. It suggests that in the box one can find a leaf – metaphor for supporting Peercoin as a network (one node of the nework is like one leaf of a tree) or literally finding new peercoin. We don’t have to agree. It’s in the eyes of beholders.
I do like 1 or 1b from Peerchemist’s designer. Except not too fond on the stylistic O of Peerbox. That could be replaced with a leaf as in the 3 series though.
Also like Sentinelrv’s design with the leaf covering the box. Simplistic but therefore great.
Btw I played with fonts, narrowed it down to three:
They all come close, but there is something about this “Source Code Pro”.
Another take, now with Open Sans and capital B.
I vote for Source Code Pro because I like the spacing between the letters more in that one. It’s more logish I think.

Is this what you wanted?[/quote]
It is getting in the right direction. I though the right and left corners of the green box would touch B and x and covering bits of B and x to excert itself if necessary. That means the green box needs to be bigger than it is now, and that the B may needs to be of a smaller font size so its “<” matches closer to “>” in the x in height (could be tricky. May need to try different font). The circle in the box needs to be smaller to be the size of the letter o in “Box”.

Yes, the font is the problem since the “box” does not fit into X. So, I have started to seek for different font. Also, this is the reason Sentinel’s proposal uses hexsagon shape for “box”, to fit into X nicely.

Sentinelrv: Is there a Peer4commit fund for design?
Yes, name of the project is Peerbox. But when working on design it is nice to try different approach, just for test.
I’m worried about 3D printing logo and laser cutting, engraving etc… I’m not so sure how stuff proposed so far would work with that.
I need more time to think about this.
This is my favorite.
To fit varying requirements:
It can be used as is;
Or, the box on top can be used independently by itself;
And, also, the word can be used by itself independently.
(applause to Sentinelrv and his designer)

Thanks. And yes, it can be used 3 ways, together, the symbol only or the text only. I also want to stress again my dislike of the other proposals. I think this one fulfills all the requirements. The font used matches the other Peer logos, so there is some visual consistency. This is very important so people are able to immediately associate it with Peercoin. If all of our previous logos used different fonts, it would be much harder to tell they were all related projects. The use of the Peercoin “P” as the symbol makes it easier. It’s even worse for Peerbox though, since the logo doesn’t use the P symbol at all. The only associations to Peercoin we’re left with are the font choice and the leaf. Take away the font and we’re left with only one.
We now have 8 people that have said they liked my design in this thread. So far it has the most consensus out of any other design posted here and I think we should take that as a sign. I would like to get a head start on creating the entire logo package, but I’ll wait for Peerchemist’s say so. I think I and my designer have shown that we can get this done right. I ask that you trust me and go with our design.
This actually just gave me an idea. I’m going to have my designer make up something extra. Not sure if it will look as good, but we’ll see.

I guess you are thinking of having him integrate the Peercoin double-back-lined “P” onto a face of the box? Another idea for the Peerbox symbol used alone: what about writing the word Peerbox as if it were printed on the top of the box above the leaf along the top border?

Anyone experience with 3d printing logos?
I figure this with 3d printing can be bypassed by printing stickers.
Ok, first of all I wanted to apologize if anyone thinks I might be a little pushy lately. I just feel this is very important to get right and am just defending my reasons for choosing this design. Anyway, my designer finally finished what I asked him to make.
So as you can see from my posts above I had a sudden realization. Why am I using the leaf as the main Peerbox symbol in the larger cube when I should be using the “Peer P symbol.” Every other logo uses the P, Peercoin, Peerunity and Peershares, why not Peerbox as well? This just helps to add another layer of consistency with the other logos. Using the P inside the small cube of the text logo wouldn’t make sense, so I’m leaving that as a leaf, similar to the way all the other logos feature the leaf somewhere in the text logo.
So now with two different cubes, it makes more sense to combine them. Either they can be featured together like in the first image below, the main cubed P symbol can be featured by itself or the Peerbox text with the leaf cube as the o can be featured by itself. That’s 3 ways of displaying the logo. I think this is probably going to be the final version of the design. I don’t see what else I can improve. Please tell me what you think.
Slogan Version:
I decided to make this version myself. It shows the symbol and text logos mixed in with the slogan Peerchemist chose “The ASIC of Proof of Stake.”
I like previous version better, this is not appealing. However I’ll leave this to community to decide.
This was just a test. If you don’t like it as much, we can always just go with the previous leaf version. Let’s see what everyone else thinks first like you said.
