Life is a matter of choices, and every choice you make makes you. - John C. Maxwell
I couldn't have said it any better, John.
Today I'm in the luxurious situation that whatever choice I will make, the result will be awesome anyways.
The submissions in my current logo contest are incredibly good, so no matter which one I pick, they're all winners already.
The 'problem' is actually a mercy: there are so many qualified entries, that it's hard to choose only one!
@surfermarly being spoilt for choice
Let's give it a face!
A couple of days back I set up a new account on steemit called @dreamsoftheocean.
The blog will be the home for the charity project I've started recently.
Before publishing the first content and give you an insight into the project's mission and first activities, I want to define the 'look & feel' of the new brand. Charity is a serious business that requires 100% professionality. So I want to do things correctly right from the start.
A professional and trustworthy image is the number 1 premise for social commitment, so I'm glad that we have so many skilled people here on steemit that are able to help me out with their design expertise.
Numerous steemian graphic designers have submitted their entries so far. The one million dollar question (here: $150 SBD): which one would you choose?
The following order of entries is according to the one tracked in the original article.
Please also consider the blog posts made by these participants for further details on their designs.
Here we go:
submitted by @blueorgy
submitted by @hustletoparadise
submitted by @sjennon
submitted by @podanrj
submitted by @dksart
submitted by @cryptobychirag
submitted by @fabiyamada
submitted by @miawallace
submitted by @mr-monk
submitted by @apprentice001
submitted by @jaldesign
submitted by @thaiprincess
On Tuesday 24th of October the competetion ends, so you can still vote for your favourite logo and/or submit an entry if you want to participate HERE! The winner(s) will be rewarded with $150 SBD so it's worth the action :-)
It's for a good cause: the winning logo will accompany all of the future activities run by @dreamsoftheocean.
I'm looking forward!
Have a great Sunday, steemians 💙
Marly -
For further details on my charity initiative please start following the account @dreamsoftheocean or stay tuned for the live-stream from this year's steemfest where the project will be presented.
Thanks for your valuable time!

see logo. not one from the moment we see. but, the logo must be created through the system. proportion and composition. of all that exists, I choose @podanrj. simple and good, and running on the system. this one gets from the professional from him. see the post on his page, he made something of the elements and guided the system logo. in his post said, the logo is a combomark that can be separated between icons and text. upvoted, make your branding as standard, and the message contained in the logo.

It is a very difficult choice.
I like the D of @mr-monk but I would put the letters with a more parallel way. (forming a rectangular like @podanrj (whose logo I prefer in terms of typography)
All the best for this new beginning!

Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Hmmmm - great initiative @surfermarly but a hard one to decide here - also depends on visual way of looking at it from a business, charity or other perspective. Personally I like the ones (the right one) by @blueorgy and also the suggestion by @dksart

Thank you, Uwe!
I think first of all it has to stand for "trustworthiness" since charity needs to provide confidence.
It can't be too business-like, since we're talking about a project with/for kids. However, it needs to have a serious look & feel (no 'bling bling' :-)).
I won't talk about my favourites so far but I have them, too :-)

It's not directly for kids, it's about kids. But the ones who should be attracted by the logo are people who are willing to participate (contribute / donate). So it can't be "too cute" :-)

After looking at them all, I must say there is one that stands head and shoulders above the rest:
This one is the "triple overhead" entry, riding high. It is clean and simple, and it beautifully combines the Steemit theme with the theme of waves.
Congratulations, @mr-monk for your beautiful work!
