    First is too much VRC second too much FRK.

    There was already voting about this long time ago. Anybody want to dig the thread from depths of FTC middle age?

    :)

      I just tried a quick search for the old thread, but have no idea what it could have been called?

              Hey iawgoM - I quite like that - what about with the 2 dots instead of the cross F.

              I chose the dots because they are visible when small. They are full stops at half the font size.

              re: the old thread - might be under Feathercoin Fonts.

              Sorry I didn’t look up the thread - I’m really snowed under, and I was hoping some more arty people might get interested to have a go.

                i don’t like that, it looks like a warning sign, kinda reminiscent of no smoking signs. haha

                    For example, the bitcoin font used in the enhanced p2pool front end is done by :

                    Then the font is :

                    // it’s Bitcoin, use the fontawesome BTC icon

                    and to produce the font

                    __

                    Fonts looks like a whole big area on it’s own…

                      The idea is to actually make a font F, I would like one for the p2pool FTC enhancement front end. VRC doesn’t have a font, V is their icon?, Franko’s isn’t the same as 2 bars, and they don’t have a font either.

                      The main problem is to keep it clear, even at small size, - maybe just the one dot above the F or 3 dots, to look more like a Feather. i.e Brainstorm some ideas and actually produce some test fonts.We don’t have to vote on it, the popular ones would get used.

                      I started to look at FontForge - but I’d much rather a more artistic / calligraphic person have a go.

                      The other advantage of the umlaut F idea, is that it can be made of a normal F + 2 half size full stops. So the FTC letter can be made of any other Font.

                        I did these example Feathercoin font ideas a few weeks ago, but had trouble uploading them. Think I’ve figured it out now.

                          I like the f with a dot as the cross (2nd one)

                            I think the “F” is a really difficult character to turn into a symbol…

                            What about those in this page?

                            Of course I’m not suggesting to steal the font from there… but there are some nice styles I think. And I think they may serve as a good inspiration.

                              the best symbol is this one IMO

                                  I quite like this, S is double F. The main thing is, can it be made into a Font and does it works at small sizes?.
