Surprise Delegation

Yesterday I received a 2500 SP delegation from @overkillcoin! Its a wonderful initiative he created called Dolphin For A Week... but he will actually be delegating the 2500 SP to me for 2 full weeks! You can read more about it here: https://steemit.com/photography/@overkillcoin/dolphin-for-a-week-sorta-it-s-otage

My total voting power is now over 4000 SP so I'm working on a little contest of my own to spread the wealth amongst my followers.

In the meantime... to look more professional while dispensing larger votes I have updated my avatar. Basically a red O encircling the TAGE.

Please let me know what you think... good... bad... indifferent? Please don't be indifferent!

My inspiration for my logo was a french film by Jean-Pierre Melville called Le Cercle Rouge (The Red Circle). Here is a link to the film trailer on YouTube.

Below is an animation of the new logo I created from my Photoshop files. I created a red circle and blew it up 4 sizes and then added the backgrounds and the rest of the text. I finished by flipping background colors for a flashing effect then back to white to start all over again. I used Quicktime to create the image sequence and then exported that to a Quicktime movie and converted the movie into a GIF via IMGPLAY!

Thanks for the art and the delegation @overkillcoin... minnows, dolphins, whales... I’m down with squid!

Thanks for the feedback!

Great job in the logo ... You can not expect less from you ... Congratulations for the great opportunity and thanks to the friend @overkillcoin who gave you that great loan.

Yes he is a good friend!

Esta genial tu logo amigo otage.
Yo llevo tiempo pensando como hacerme el mio. De verdad me gusta mucho y ademas esta en gif. Yo por ahora adopto el negro y amarillo y pienso que me va bien en mis posts. Me interesa saber como hacer con la delegación de los SP porque el mio no tiene poder aún...
por cierto Felicidades!

It's great your logo friend otage.
I've been thinking about how to make mine. I really like it a lot and also is in gif. For now I adopt black and yellow and I think I'm doing well in my posts. I am interested in knowing how to do with the SP delegation because mine does not have power yet...
by the way Congratulations!

Thanks! Sometimes there are contests to receive SP delegation like the one I received from @overkillcoin. Another way to receive delegation is to rent it from a whale or a service like minnowbooster but if you don't have Steem or SBD to pay for a rental that will not be possible. Some whales will delegate SP power to minnows just to help out but a lot of them are now selling votes via bid bots so delegation is harder to come by. This is the first delegation I have received. With delegation you are borrowing the SP but you receive the rewards from the increased voting power. The owner can reclaim the SP delegation whenever they wants because it never leaves their control.

Great! .. difficult or not, it's good news. I will investigate about this possibility. I have been investing in bot votes in my posts and I have increased my reputation very quickly but I have not finished paying the first 15 SP. Thanks @otage have illuminated my way.
👍😎

That's great news @otage. Congratulations on the delegation. What fun!

Nice looking avatar too. 😁

Thanks!

The logo was very good ... I'm glad the changes are to improve, Congratulations for that incredible loan.

Thanks I try to keep it fresh!

Incredible creative ideas for your logo design .. this looks simple and full of meaning ....
