Subject: Thank You for Your Support! Let’s Dive into Dash’s Oceanic Future Together
Dash Central Forum and Valued Masternode and Evonode Supporters,
First, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart to every Masternode and Evonode operator who backed my last proposal. Your trust in our vision to modernize Dash’s branding was the spark that lit the fire!
Now, let’s amplify the flames with our next mission: Dash Ocean Initiative —a 3-month rebranding revolution to unify Dash’s ecosystem into a cohesive, visually stunning ocean universe. The Dash logo is safu! We will improve everything else around it and around our marvelous blue color. Add a fresh breeze of content on the X, Reddit, YouTube and other socials.
Why This Matters Now
Dash’s current website feels fragmented. Wallets, dApps, and partnerships lack a unified identity—we’re drowning in chaos . This proposal fixes that.
What We’ll Build:
A Fresh Website with new Visual Language that will last for Ages
Colors: Deep oceanic blues + pops of teal for energy.
Fonts: Generate a new combination of fonts that will assist us on unifiing our creatives. We use the fonts to deliver our mission. Great fonts = delivered message faster. We will help find the perfect match and create a separated proposal with the cost of the commercial license.
Patterns: Fluid waves that ripple across all assets (websites, socials, dApps).
Motion Graphics: Animated waves for videos, Dash guides and infographic videos, live streams ads integrations, and social media templates.
Tools for Everyone
Dash Brandbook 1.0 (Month 1): Core colors, typography, and icons.
Social Templates (Month 2): Ready-to-use designs for X, YouTube, Discord.
Dash.org landing page design and dApp Style Guide (Month 3): UI components for developers (buttons, cards, dark mode).
Ecosystem Clarity
Infographics mapping Dash’s universe (core → dApps → partnerships → DAO).
Your Investment:
231 Dash/Month for 3 Month = Total 693 Dash ($15,000 @ today price of $21.7)
Outcome:
A new website design with a unified visual identity that turns Dash into a must-join ocean of innovation .
Plug-and-play tools for developers to launch dApps faster.
3x ROI in community engagement and brand recognition.
How We’ll Do It (With Your Support)
Transparency First
Weekly updates on DashCentral + daily progress in Discord’s #brainstorm channel.
Open-source Figma files for dev teams to access.
Your Input = Better Results
Vote on color palettes, icon designs, and motion graphics themes.
Join live brainstorm sessions to shape the “Ocean” vision.
No Fluff, Just Results
Why Vote YES?
Low Risk, High Impact: 2.92% of the DAO’s monthly treasure for a 100% visual overhaul.
Future-Proof Tools: Assets that’ll empower Dash for years.
Community-Driven: Your ideas will shape every pixel.
A message to each Masternode and Evonode Operators:

P.S. Qwizzie: The Discord channels still have those emoji in the channel names but please—come back, we miss you!
P.P.S. I don't understand why Qwizzie is not joining the Discord, i'm ready to ditch the emojies if that's so crucial in you coming back.

Discussion: Should we fund this proposal?
Submit comment
IMHO the amount is a bit too much.
Next to come:
- Dash dApps website (design ready)
- Dash Trustless Stacking (design ready)
- Dash Torrent (design ready)
and other projects that Pshenmic proposed and we're building...
Please dig in more into what we are proposing here and only then you can judge about the wasting or not wasting 2,92% of the DAO treasury.
Cheers!
1 : Bad timing, we should be laser-focused on funding the essential budget proposals during this Dash bear market that has brought the Dash price down so much lately
2 : I have seen a small implementation of this visual overhaul on Discord and personally i did not like it, it has driven me away from Discord. I have stopped using Discord.
3 : I don't see it attract more people to the website, for that we need a whole lot more marketing and an end to the Dash bear market. It just seems to be a 'feeling good' type of budget proposal for existing users who are thirsty for change / any change.
Thanks for dropping your thoughts on our proposal. I get it, man—you’re not feeling it, and you’ve got some solid points. But yo, let me hit you back with a few ideas that might make you blush a little and rethink that “no” vote. I’m not here to roast you, just to vibe with you on why this proposal might be more clutch than you think, even with the bear market growling at us.
1. Timing? Maybe It’s perfect, bro!
You’re saying we should laser-focus on “essential” budget proposals because Dash is taking a beating in this bear market. Fair call—price is down, liquidity’s tight, and nobody’s throwing confetti. But hear me out: what if the lack of action—like no fresh branding, no cohesive look—is why we’re stuck in this rut? Dash looks like a kindergarten art project right now—random colors, mismatched vibes, and no clear story. That ain’t screaming “invest in me” to anyone.
This proposal isn’t just some fluffy side quest. It’s 231 DASH a month—peanuts, like 2.92% of the DAO’s treasure—for a full visual overhaul that could make Dash pop. Think of it like this: during a bear market, when nobody’s buying, you polish your ride so it’s ready to flex when the bulls roll back in. A slick “Ocean Universe” vibe could pull in new eyes and keep the OGs from bouncing. That’s not wasteful—it’s strategic as hell.
2. Discord emojis got you salty? We can fix that.
Dude, I feel you on the Discord thing as well. All those years you were sitting in a faceless discord server with plain text, and now boom — I entered the chat, made a simple proposal and we got a colorful server with easy to digest emojies. Those emojis in the channel names pissed you off so much you ditched the server—respect for sticking to your guns. But real talk: that was just a tiny taste of what’s coming, not the main course. This overhaul’s packing a full brand palette, motion graphics, and dev designed tools—not just some goofy smileys. And here’s the kicker: you can help shape it. The team’s all about community feedback—weekly updates, voting on designs, live brainstorms. You hated the emojis? Tell us what would bring you back. Your voice could make this dope instead of driving you nuts.
3. More people won’t Come? Branding’s the "Bait", man!
You’re skeptical this’ll drag newbies to the website, and you’re betting on big marketing and a bear market exit instead. Qwizzie, you’re not wrong—marketing’s key. But branding IS THE Marketing’s Foundation. Imagine Dash with a crisp, unified look—deep blue waves, slick infographics, animated videos—versus the fragmented mess we’ve got now. It’s like handing out flyers for a party with no address versus a neon sign that screams “come vibe with us.” This isn’t just a “feel-good” hug for existing users (though it’ll hype us up too); it’s a magnet for new blood and a toolkit for devs to build dope dApps faster. Pair that with marketing later, and we’re cooking with gas.
And yeah, we can’t kill the bear market ourselves, but WE can control how Dash shows up. Why not make it look like a PRO-tier project instead of a DIY experiment? That’s how you turn heads, even when the market’s sulking.
Qwizzie, please look at the bigger picture: I know you’re not just a “no” machine—you care about Dash, and that’s why you’re throwing punches. But check this: 693 DASH total—$15k at today’s price—for three months of work from two design studios isn’t some reckless splurge. It’s a calculated move to glue this ecosystem together. Devs get Figma kits, we get a brand book, socials get a glow-up, and the whole project stops looking like a scattered puzzle. You call it “feel-good,” but I call it fixing the basics so we can actually grow. Just check how https://platform-explorer.com glows-up compared to other Dash products. Why? I'm designing it, together with Pshenmic and his team. Are you really want to ditch this proposal because of some emojies?
I’m not saying you’re wrong to be cautious—bear markets suck, and every DASH counts. But doing NOTHING because the market’s down? That’s how projects fade, man. Nobody’s reporting progress to the masses because we’ve got no good design, no communication juice. This proposal’s the spark to change that!
Come back to our Discord server—let’s build this together.
Look, I respect your vote—it’s your call, and you’ve got Dash’s back in your own way. But I’d love to see you jump back into the Discord fray (emojis and all) and throw some ideas at us. You’ve got a sharp eye—help us make this something you’d vibe with. We need those “yes” votes to keep the creative train rolling, and I’d rather have you on board than raging from the sidelines.
What do you say? Give it another look? Maybe even roast our palette choices in the #brainstorm channel? We miss your energy, man.
Cheers!
P.S. Those Discord emojis? We’re leveling up to pro-tier visuals—come back and help us ditch the kindergarten vibes. You’re too OG to stay gone!
