Honestly this had never even crossed my mind as I had never ventured into this world. Until now. I think we should change the Decred logo. I dont think this coin should be associated in any way with this ideology or symbols. What do you think? Maybe this could be the first real vote for Decred? The basic premise I am throwing out there is to much similarity between the Decred logo and some of the various man/boy love symbols and logos out there. Specifically the spiral triangle logo shown here. With all the pizza gate info and imagery in the news it struck me that the Decred logo is similar to those shown in the various pizza gate videos and docs. I throw out these links for supporting data. YES SOME ARE NSFW. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. There are more. These should give you some idea. https://wikileaks.org/wiki/FBI_pedophile_symbols http://www.slideshare.net/Diramar/s...s-to-identify-sexual-preferences-presentation https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/comments/5ca3a9/wegotthem_seriouslykillshotget_it_to_the_bloody/ tl;dr - The Decred logo is a spiral triangle that looks similar to groups associated with deviant or illegal behavior. We should not be using logos similar to those associated with that.
As @adam2312 noted above, there is already a new logo on the way as can be seen in the linked thread. As a result, this is a moot point. As an aside, I much prefer the new logo to the existing one too. That said, I personally do not think changing logos just because some symbol has been hijacked and used by one or more groups with nefarious intentions makes any sense. You can find people using symbols similar to many logos such as Bitcoin, Paypal, Mitsubishi, Bank of America, and FedEx in vile ways. Should those companies change their logos because some external groups decided to choose similar symbols? I think not.
I was not aware of the new logo design. Great, maybe this is all about nothing. All I saw was text representations. I think the previous use predates Decred. Decred could be seen as copying that logo? I dunno. I just put it out there to see what other people thought.
Decrediton is already using the new logo. Personally, I liked the old logo but I don't care too much. However, I really could not care less that someone or something else good, bad, or terrible is using a similar shape. There really are only so many simple shapes and I don't see anyone having a monopoly on the Nabla symnol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nabla_symbol).
