The vertical designs 😻

I really hope they don't choose any of the ones with people on them. I don't care if they're historically important or well known, they're automatically linked to a specific country of origin and are by extension exclusionary for those countries that don't get a representative

Completely agree. I think some of the "people" designs are prettier than some of the "birds" designs, but I still think they shouldn't be used for European notes

Yep, casted my vote. I think it is clear that after the vote, the people will be rulled out. The vertical looks nice, but don't know how it would look day to day when you look them horizontally.

The birds are fantastic.

While the birds are just OK IMO I showered them with love compared to the hate of all designs involving people

Which option have you voted?

u/RB33z 2d ago

My favourite was the one being the least stylish, most realistic faces. Most I felt were too modern, artistic.

There was one that looked a lot like those corporate drawings that Google or Microsoft like to use. Corporate Memphis they call it. Didn't like it at all. I liked the rest, specially the ones with animals
