First Things First

I always wanna have a word with you guys before I start the thought process of how the logo for CoinPanda came about. I really am happy with the outcome of this logo. I had fun doing this. Had an artist block for awhile, it's where u stare at a blank piece of paper not knowing what to draw. But it all came about when my mind clicked with an idea.

What is CoinPanda

Coin Panda, an idea conceptualized @FatPandaDesign over the past 4 months, is the latest project spearheaded by a team of 4 talented individuals.

We aim to change the way the world views and uses CryptoCurrencies.

After presenting my ideas to a few trusted individuals that have worked on multiple multi-million dollar projects, they all agreed that what I had come up with was something that needed to come to life. And so, a team was assembled.

The majority of humans do not have the slightest clue what cryptocurrency even is. They've never heard of a blockchain, and if you say ICO they ask if you meant to say "IPO" (initial public offering) for the stock market.

Coin Panda has a 4-step roadmap planned out. At this point in time, we can't share any details other than the first step - our SteemIt and Cryptocurrency consultations that we offer.

We offer 1 hour Skype sessions to help people get completely acquainted with cryptocurrencies - what they are, what their function/role is, how they can be used, and how it can help shape the future of transactions worldwide.

They are taught how to completely get started with cryptocurrencies, how they are bought/sold, how they can be a valuable asset for their portfolios, how to safely store and protect their coins (security is EXTREMELY important to us), and how to purchase their very first crypto coin if they so choose.

We then also introduce them to various ways of earning cryptocurrencies if they do not wish to invest their own direct capital. Many of our clients opt for both purchasing their first coins (it's exciting for them!) and also learning the ways to earn/generate extra ones without spending money.

Phase 2, 3, and 4 are to be announced. We have roughly a 6-9 month timeline until we are 100% operational. We are hard at work every single day advancing forward - on staff are some of the brightest and most talented individuals I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

The website is under construction, but a simple landing page with an email subscription optin form is live. Our flagship ideas are under development and the team is incredibly excited to release updates as we move closer to a launch date.

Our email marketing campaign should be launching today (24/9/17), where we will offer free cryptocurrency tips, tricks, and more. If you're not already signed up, it's absolutely FREE - simply visit https://CoinPanda.io and enter your email to join our list.

Also, be sure to sign up for our email list, as you won't want to miss what we have to offer. Email subscribers are also entitled to special offers and potential discounts/freebies as we get closer to our launch date.

Hope to hear from you all, and we are eager to help improve the world of cryptocurrency. The future is here - Coin Panda simply wishes to help improve it even further.

To the future of crypto,

Ben aka Panda

The Official CoinPanda Design

Part 1 - The Idea & Concept

The thoughts of a vast galaxy but all connected came as a concept of what I wanted CoinPanda to show. As you all know, crytocurrency is all online and that means it's everywhere. It's not like a physical currency where you can only use them in specific locations/countries. As CoinPanda expands it's horizons, This logo would symbolise just that. Welcome to the Universe of CoinPanda.

Part 2 - References

I couldn't have mention it enough that references are vital to an outcome of a design. Be it an image or in every art direction you are proceeding with. For me, I do a lot of animations and advertising, one thing I always learn is you gotta have GOOD REFERENCES.

These are just some of the references I use to design and inspire my thought process for CoinPanda.

Part 3 - Outlines

Getting the basic shapes out.

Part 4 - Details

I needed it to look more like a panda, so this is where the details come in. Always remember, little details makes the most. I separated it with panda colours like any panda would have. And added a little nice round white circle for the tiny eye. This is the little detail i'm talking about.

At this point, I knew I need to create a base layer/background for this symbol.

Part 5 - Finalize

Initially, I wanted and I actually came out with having the coin to be white. Cause imagine, someone passes you a coin, and it's white in colour and holds value! That'd be freaking cool!

But then I realized the aesthetics of having the coin gold is also pretty badass when u look at it. More compelling...I mean who doesn't like GOLD ?! Gold = Money! Hence the final outcome.

Various other designs

These are the first few ones I came up with. Eventually GOLD wins. :D
