Everyone open your graphics editor and make a “we accept Bitcoin” logo. A good looking logo (preferably better than mine ) would be really useful.

My first version attached.

I took a shot. Small, clean “btc accepted” sign. See attached file.

Is there a high-res bitcoin logo? Or a vector-image?

No, sorry.  I’ve been meaning to redo it.  The largest icon that still looks good is the 20x20 one which is used for the tray icon in GNOME.  Any larger than that looks bad.  The 16x16 and 20x20 ones have quite a bit of hand tweaking to get the pixels to work out right.  If you just scale down a larger image, the pixels end up blurred and awkward in places where the lines in “BC” don’t land square on a pixel.

The best 16x16 with full alpha channel is in src/rc/bitcoin.ico.  I don’t like the 32x32 version.

I’m attaching bitcoin20x20.png, the 20x20 version with full transparency.

Thanks, these are getting to look good.

I am not that picky. Growth of the Bitcoin network and promoting more widespread usage is sufficient reward to me.

If you GPL stuff, I have to avoid using it.  Nothing against GPL per-se, but Bitcoin is an MIT license project.  Anything GPL please clearly mark it as such.
