I like the interplay between the two logos. Essentially an eclipse appearance (one [safex cash] can’t do without the other [safex token]), like the moon, sun, and earth. Well done.
the top-ranking financial websites tend toward: Trust-building colors: green and blue . High-energy colors that suggest power and authority: red and black .
I think there is no need for the crescent in the safex cash proposal, its too busy with similar shapes already.
I think one should have the usual safex symbol, while the other should have the same with that circle/disk shape added (as in the above safex token proposal).
So: 1) basic safex logo + 2) basic logo with circle.
It looks better in my option and it’s easier to. Print etc. And I think we shouldn’t forget practical usage - if a store wants to make a sign that they accept safex for payment they should not have to struggle how to print gold with there printer - else it might end with yellow on every self printed sign
I actually think both logos look great. Id be interested to see a 3rd logo, an amalgamation of the other 2 , as the marketplace logo , then it would show the 2 logos as the comprising elements.
