## A logo to represent Agoras
After a bunch of weeks(?), I finally put some time and effort into creating the Agoras logo for the [contest](https://steemit.com/contest/@kevinwong/logo-contest-for-tauchain-and-agoras-calling-all-designers) by @kevinwong. [I had already made the Tauchain logo](https://steemit.com/design/@sjennon/contest-entry-minimalist-logo-for-tau), but still missed out on the one for Agoras.

> Agoras will be an integral platform built over the Tau network and will serve as the primary economy that'll take full advantage of Tau's revolutionary features.

> Agoras itself is comprised of 3 distinct parts: 1) Automated Knowledge Economy 2) Computational Resource Market and 3) Advanced Currency with Derivatives Features.

> Through the power of Tau, we envision the possibility of fully autonomous businesses operating over the Agoras virtual economy.

By keeping the above in mind as well as the logo I already cooked up for Tauchain, I came up with the following design:

### The shape
Similar to the Tauchain logo, this is also a triangle. In Tauchain the shape represented the T abstractly. Luckily, when you flip it upside down, it is an A! 

Also with this one, there are two ends rounded and one sharp. Since I wanted to recreate the idea of an upwards arrow, the sharp point is pointing upwards.

### The colors
Similar to Tauchain, I also added a gradient in Agoras for consistency. Along with that, I chose the following colors:

##### Green
Represents growth, harmony, stability, endurance and fertility. This is basically the *marketplace* and it needs to be accessible and flexible.

##### Blue
Represents balance, energy, wisdom and refreshing.
