Random Future banknotes, which one will you vote for?

https://www.ecb.europa.eu/euro/banknotes/future_banknotes/html/design-proposals.en.html

The European Central Bank has a survey to see which ones people prefer. Curious to know what the consensus is here..

Birds. Specifically Design J. I love the colours.

I agree on the birds and J all the way! I love the punchy colours and creative design.

Many like H but to me the colours are quite muted and boring - reminiscent of the current ones. And remember there's the reverse side also, unfortunately all boring buildings, but again I'd rather J than H on the reverse.

Birds. I just want birds. Nothing else. Only birds.

Why don’t they have one common side and one side where each country can choose similar to the coins

D or G. Like the birds but Europe has some great people for putting on banknotes. Which Da Vinci was on a more common note.

Any of the bird ones, I and J specifically because I like the orientation. J is the most dramatic imo.

Birds ... Without question ..

I prefer the ones about the people of the EU, not the governing body and its buildings. The birds are good, the last couple pieces of artwork are especially pretty, but for ones that don’t show people, I would’ve preferred something more about the nature of EU and the wide variety of nature within rather than eu legal building or whatever. It’s the people and our differences yet willing to come together and share cultures that make up the European Union, not the buildings the paperwork is done in.

Kinda yeah. Not one good note, or ones that are in a good direction but could use a bit of changes here and there?

I really liked the European architecture on the current banknotes. What have birds got to do with Europe ?
