“Powered by Apecoin” & “ApeCoin Powered” Logos Implementation

CATEGORY Brand

ABSTRACT

This AIP proposes the immediate adoption and usage of these “ApeCoin Powered” and “Powered by ApeCoin” logos. These logos will serve as a visual endorsement and recognition of initiatives that exclusively use ApeCoin for transactions, assuming they are in alignment with the values and mission of the ApeCoin ecosystem.

MOTIVATION

The introduction of the “ApeCoin Powered” and “Powered by ApeCoin” logos aims to foster a sense of unity and shared identity within our diverse community. By visibly marking and endorsing initiatives that operate exclusively with ApeCoin, we are not only increasing the utility and recognition of ApeCoin but also encouraging more projects to adopt it. This visual token of affiliation would contribute to a stronger sense of belonging within our ecosystem, further solidifying the connection among members and fostering collaborative growth.

RATIONALE

The introduction of these logos acts as a visual representation of ApeCoin’s reach and influence across various projects, thereby bolstering its recognition and usage within the ecosystem. This initiative encourages more platforms to adopt ApeCoin.

KEY TERMS

Ecosystem : In this context, it refers to the ApeCoin community, the blockchain, the currency (ApeCoin), and all services, projects, and initiatives surrounding it.

SPECIFICATIONS

Logos: The “ApeCoin Powered” and “Powered by ApeCoin” logos are ready for immediate use as transparent pngs.
Usage: Entities that exclusively accept ApeCoin as a means of transaction, and AIP projects approved by the DAO, can use this logo to signify their affiliation with the ApeCoin ecosystem. This is conditional on their material and actions being in line with the values and mission of the ecosystem.
Design Adjustments: The logo design is open to fine-tuning and adjustments by professional graphic designers to ensure it suits different usage contexts and maintains a high standard of visual communication.

STEPS TO IMPLEMENT

Secure approval for this AIP.
Immediate distribution and implementation of the logo.

TIMELINE

Both Logos will become available to those who qualify upon this AIP passing.

REVOCABILITY

Privileges to use the “ApeCoin Powered” and “Powered by ApeCoin” logos may be revoked by the community if its usage is found to be inconsistent with the values and mission of the ApeCoin ecosystem.

Yes, however please note my suggested one change in bold …

Must use, not can use.

The music grants foundation I’m an adjudicator for is militant about their logo appearing on projects funded by its grants. Seems reasonable; credit where due.

Cheers!

Hard yes.

Powerful branding that will also keep everyone using it on their toes, as the privilege should not be taken lightly…

“This logo will serve to recognize and visually endorse initiatives that exclusively use ApeCoin as their means of transaction, provided they align with the values and mission of the ApeCoin ecosystem.”

Yes

Mr.and89 · June 11, 2023, 9:48pm

definitely in favor.

mattborchert · June 11, 2023, 10:17pm

@Gerry The kerning! And the font is different! (You can tell looking at the e’s.)

As such, I’m legally required to FUD this. Once these objections are fixed, to quote Steve Jobs, “Real artists ship.”

NANA · June 11, 2023, 10:24pm

All for this. But would love to find out the original font used for the word “ApeCoin” and use it for “Powered”.

NANA · June 11, 2023, 10:25pm

ah! glad i’m not the only one bothered by this lol.

Love the idea though!

Gerry · June 11, 2023, 10:28pm

I have the original Font, I’ll play with that. But because you suggested it, not because of anything Matt said.

mattborchert · June 11, 2023, 10:37pm

Adds Gerry to the list.

Moonlyght · June 11, 2023, 10:40pm

Great idea to implement! Have you played with “Powered by ApeCoin” instead of “ApeCoin Powered” I believe both work tho.

Gerry · June 11, 2023, 10:49pm

My original draft had both actually. Great minds. This one just felt better in the end. If the community thinks we should have options that’s fine with me.

NANA · June 11, 2023, 10:58pm

Options would be great. “Powered by @apecoin” is what @OthersideMeta used. Could see both options having same impact.

badteeth · June 12, 2023, 12:35am

My 2 cents:

Powered by ApeCoin
Matching fonts
Required usage by grant recipients

Love this idea, thanks Gerry!

I’ve seen an alternate version that looks really good with “powered by” ontop of the apecoin…not sure where. This is a pretty straight forward proposal. Needs put into format to go to next phase but thats little details. Would like to avoid imposing or requiring use of the logo as is though hahah.

NashAhmed.eth · June 12, 2023, 12:38am

Great idea! And a very clean design. Love seeing that some of the Apecoin community are already using this in their twitter banners too!

I actually like that the ‘powered’ is a different font to the ‘ApeCoin’ as it emphasises the ‘Ape Coin’ better this way.

annamerica · June 12, 2023, 1:05am

YES! Absolutely. Either powered by Apecoin or Apecoin powered, depending on what everybody prefers

justzb · June 12, 2023, 1:35am

No Brainer and I am definitely Agree and For this AIP . I also agree with @br00no that its a Must Use case to give credit to the support that was given

Keegan · June 12, 2023, 2:05am

Awareness is crucial for getting more eyes and ears on the DAO. Great idea, happy to support and help get the logo in front of as many eyes and ears as possible in various mediums.

0xPedrox · June 12, 2023, 4:44am

Yeh I definitively prefer “Powered by ApeCoin” way.
