Peershares is supported by Peercoin and proof-of-stake, which makes it an energy efficient program. Because of this, we decided that it should also be represented by the peer to peer symbol we use for Peercoin, similar to how all Apple products (iPod, iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc…) are represented by the Apple logo. The peer to peer symbol ends up representing all energy efficient programs/systems. This shows everyone that both Peercoin and Peershares are from the same people. The double PP symbol fits here because it’s substituting “Peer to Peer Coin” with “Peer to Peer Shares.” To help differentiate them somewhat though, Peercoin will use the gold symbol while Peershares uses the silver symbol. Both text logos also contain the leaf graphic, Peercoin in the i and Peershares in the a.

It sounds like the consensus is that they are a go, so CoinHash and I will run with them for the site.
Personally, I’m not a huge fan, because I find them too derivative, but in terms of priority items, this isn’t one. I expect most people using Peershares in the future will be listed under their company logo, anyways.
I was worried at first, but it looks like it’s pretty much a done deal. 19 upvotes and only 2 downvotes. We need to put the graphics on the social media accounts now. David, do need help putting them on the Twitter account? Will you use the large green leaf with the black background or no?
It’s the “Peer Family” brand. We’ve already discussed this plenty of times and most people wanted to go in this direction. Same logo, a different color for each peer program and the use of the leaf imagery. Everything leads back to us.
