I find the backsides with the EU buildings too self-praising. I think the European people have more things that unite, than the buerocratic institutions.

The backsides of the people bills are also too general, I would like to see more of the people's work or achievements.

Generally I like the current design with fictional bridges and buildings, so no country is preferred.

Uff, there are some ... daring ... design proposals included.

Keep it abstract! I love the windows and bridges current theme. Couldn't we make a new design with the same colors and prompt?

No famous people!

~~The survey isn't good. They should've at least written a comment about each note. I don't recognise most of the people on there. ~~

Maybe y'all can help out.

Here are all the proposals until G. H and I are here (or see comment below).

One of the stated design goals with the existing design is to make them as generic as possible so as not to show favouritism towards a particular country. If you asked me for famous European figures to put on the notes, I'd probably name Beethoven, Curie and Da Vinci, but by including them you're highlighting a Germany, France/Poland and Italy. The building designs are boring but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The birds are cute, but I'd like to have seen broader nature themes: birds, fish, mammals and biomes would have been nice.

The current designs are boring but good. Nature and birds would be good, people not so much.

Some designs are quite decent, but I'm not sure the individuals, birds, activities and buildings depicted, resonate with most Europeans. The individuals are of select member states, the birds might go completely unrecognized, the activities are rather academic, and the buildings of EU institutions? WAY too much self-praise. I would rather see subjects that are more broadly applicable, over ones focused on specific individuals, birds, activities and buildings, like: cultural achievements, landmarks spanning multiple member states (seas, mountains, rivers), infrastructure connecting member states, cultural diversity, cultural values, etc.

It would also be neat if these flashy new notes were actually accepted in physical transactions...

I would completely remove people and would add fish, plants and monuments.

Would be cool to put food on the bills. Imagine a bowl of spaghetti on the 200€ bill.

Birds! 🐦‍⬛

I really like design D. F is cool as well, really unique design, but I think I prefer the birds because they're more inclusive than people from specific countries.

Series F or G for me. F has hand drawn images which is incredibly unusual but I really love it (even more so in the time of AI). It just feels radical and unexpected. G feels both retro and current, more of a typical banknote but still a striking design.

The birds bore me and the institution buildings aren't the worst idea but there was a reason why we only had fictional architecture on the old notes and some of the buildings just aren't that exciting.

I really like some of them and some look like prints on bus seat covers.

And Ludwig van Beethoven looks mean as hell on some.

H and J for me. I prefer birds much more than people on the design and those two designs are actually colorful and distinct from the current more bland colors.

They're very similar, either people, buildings or birds as main designs and feels boring as well as the designs being mainly ugly. Some are nice but don't feel inclusive for all of Europe. I feel like the designs should be more generic to be inclusive of all countries, so no famous people or country-specific buildings/geography. I like the EU stars, constellations, the map of Europe, symbols of what Europe represents.

I’ve voted; but basically all designs are beautiful: colorful, optimistic, modern.

The survey seems very AI. Anyway, I prefer the bird ones, though really they should just pick generic symbols again. The bridges and buildings worked just fine for this.

Series D reminds me of 90’s guilders, though, so I liked that one.

What's with all the birds? Did someone study bird law?

I am kind of in love with F and H.

F because it's the only design that really tries to be differnet, fun and daring. I love the color combinations and how expressive they are. I am aware that this probably isn't going to be the one that's picked, but man, would it be cool it this was what the Euro looked like in the future.

H because they are, in my opinion the prettiest animal notes. Again, lively colors that are combines beautifully, and I like that they are horizontal. The tenner with the kingfisher is so pretty, I would frame it and put it on a wall.

I'm not voting, though, because I'm Danish and we still use our own currency. We probably will make the shift to Euroes someday, but until then, I don't feel it's appropriate for me to vote for the design of a currency that isn't used in my country.

Team birds checking in. There are a couple of people designs I like but birds have a much higher hit rate.

Honestly I don’t really like the current design and some of the bird ones were cool, but I feel like you can’t even tell that some of these designs are euro banknotes

Not a euro citizen, so not voting; but series H would very have my vote
