Catapult Brand Update #9

I agree Symbol.

XYM is the best ticker plan.

because, “E” of XEM changes “Y” of SYMBOL.

and the pronounciation of XYM is like “C” of Cataplut, I guess.

SBN (Symbol By NEM) is another option

The reasoning for XYM sounds fair, I checked with the list of currency codes by country and there isn’t XYM yet as well - https://www.iban.com/currency-codes

I want to propose SBL and SYB.
For example, ETH and BTC are not ISO compliant. No reason to stick to X.
SBL and SYB can be read as Symbol.

But I understand branding teams are no longer seeking community input.

Interesting. I’ll chat with branding team. I think these are good options.

Like “NEM: XEM”
Namespace = “SBL” or “SYB”
with this
I think “SBL: XYM” or “SYB: XYM” is not bad

For me, the ticker “XYM” is the best way to combine the past and future of NEM (XEM) / SYMBOL (XYM).

Side note ( :innocent:: )
And if someone says “tomorrow”, we will know that catapult is meant.

We are all part of the community, so it will be interesting to see how the vote turns out.

All okay… but where is Testnet, Wallets and Explorer???

Almost a month ago committee promised to release them. I think the current CTO and PM are not good at maintaining a timeline. You should get a new one.

I propose “SBL”, which is three-letter and easy to recognize Symbol.

This was already added to list so you can expect SBL on vote considerations.

Testnet has been happening for months now but just hadn’t opened to wider community. We do have community participating however. A larger push is happening soon around this.

It’s frustrating to have delays, I know. We are in home stretch.

I just got a little brainstorm going on for even more ticker suggestions: (Can’t believe some of these haven’t come up anywhere)

SYM: Symbol (I know 2 other projects use this, but they are dead projects, and this by far the best choice for the ticker)
XSY: X for currency and then Symbol (Pronounced “eks-s-wai”)
SMB: SyMBol
XSB: (Resembles Ripple XRP) X for currency and then Symbol
XY: X for currency and then Symbol (Pronounced “ekswai”)
XSM: X for currency and then Symbol
SYL: Derived from Symbol (Pronounced “sil”)(Could be explained as Symboll evys??)
SYT: Symbol Tokens (Pronounced “sit”)
SYC: Symbol Coin (Pronounced “sik”)
SYN: Symbol Note (Pronounced “sin”) (Could also be SY mbol N ugget)
YTO: Symbol Token (Pronounced “waito”)
YCO: Symbol Coin (Pronounced “waiko”)(However too similar to ico)
XYT: Symbol Token + X for currency

Out of the current suggestions these are also good:

XYM : (XEM but with a Y) X for currency and the Symbol
SBL : Symbol
SYB : Symbol

My preference goes to something with the Y in it because it is the icon of Symbol. But these are my favorites:

  1. SYM
  2. XSY
  3. XY
  4. XYM
  5. XSYM

Agree with all the other comments regarding XYM. XYM gets my vote.

XYM also gets my vote. Has the closest sound to XEM, yet is a totally new product, whilst keeping some attachment to it’s legacy in name and sound. Also rolls off the tongue more easily.
