Hi all! There are some logos where designers put more work into designing it for this specific purpose - I'm talking about the ones that hint to the Harry Potter theme:
- https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/mysterious-cryptocurrency-needs-creative-logo-769896/entries/171 - https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/mysterious-cryptocurrency-needs-creative-logo-769896/entries/42 - https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/mysterious-cryptocurrency-needs-creative-logo-769896/entries/57 - https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/mysterious-cryptocurrency-needs-creative-logo-769896/entries/151 171 looks very promising to me. Was it declined because it didn't work at smaller sizes?
