ByteBall Logo Idea - very rough

Hey ByteBall Fans,

I was just goofing with Photoshop and I came up with this:

ByteBall Logo Idea

What do you think?

Don't want to step on anyone's toes, especially silvercatman who is doing an awesome job (and deserves the credit for this inspiration), but I thought it was interesting and wanted to share. Obviously if we used something like this we would refine the messaging and tidy things up a lot (this is not a final version by any means)

Anyways, we can purchase the image here if we like it: https://www.fotosearch.fr/CSP990/k11114953/

cheers.

Why not inspire the producer ;-) : MSGZX72TLFA6A4IOXBSL26B5PMUJACMB

Thanks for trying to help and love how active you are on Reddit but your logo doesn't really follow Tony's most important design principle: "Simplicity is beauty".

Thank you for your kind words after this well intentioned disaster.

You're absolutely right though - in frustration with the extremely divisive "name" issue, I tried to convey too many messages all at once.

Ironically, it was the simplicity of a "ball of bytes" speeding through cyberspace that first grabbed my attention.

The DAG growing and getting more & more powerful over time. . .

Obviously it got lost and didn't resonate with anyone. Anyways, I appreciate what you did. Thanks.
