Decentmemes.com Logo Contest

in decentmemeslogo •  7 years ago  (edited)

We are looking for a new logo for Decentmemes! This one above here is the current one which was put in place in the beginning, ironically Pepe the frog isn't even a background on decentmemes.com... yet. To help with the logo, here's a little info about the site:

The name stands for both decent and decentralized and the project focuses on original texts on the memes and manual curation with a future bot that rewards authors that have proven themselves not to try anything fishy! You can read more about upcoming features in the announcement post here.

Every Steem App needs a decent logo!

To keep it short here are the rules of entry for the logo.

  1. Create a logo and fitting font with "Decent Memes" or "DecentMemes" of your own style and liking.
  2. Paste it down here in the comments and/or add it to a post with #decentmemeslogo
  3. The logo needs to be digital, i.e. handdrawings will not count (was asked in comments)

You have time to enter until this post is paid out in ~7 days.

Rewards for the logo will be the SBD generated by this post but we will also try to reward all decent entries! ;)


There are a lot more things coming for decentmemes.com and I am glad to see a lot of interest for it has been building up ever since it's been launched! As you know curating has been done manually mainly by me so far but we will be looking to invite some more curators to the project in the near future! It's been pretty overwhelming to curate 100-200 memes daily alone.

If you have any questions about the contest, feel free to ask them here in this post!

Good luck to all participants!

Edit: I deleted some of my comments and posted all of my submissions here, to make the comment section less confusing.



Edit: @sneak posted this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepe_the_Frog
Sharing this here for people who might not know that Pepe is a dogwhistle symbol for nazis and other white supremacists. This is what people are attempting to subtly convey when they use it.
This is also why "twitter for nazis" Gab uses it. It's a plausibly deniable endorsement of racist beliefs.
...

Someone flagged it, but I thought it's important. For the original comment just scoll all the way down.

Sure I'll vote for your logo too since it's a vote for @sneak's comment and not the logo.

@haejin's friend's (wife's?) account flagged it, because I don't think @haejin's posts are worthy of ~$70,000 USD per month of the rewards pool (approximately 1% of all rewards allocated on Steem) so I've been flagging them. It's simple retaliation. :/

@sneak - Mexican frogs are pepe too, you big memey!

You're lucky I don't downvote, because if i did, I'd downvote you!
It would be as easy as taking pennies from one of those little take
a penny, leave a penny treys. Stop hispanophobia, Pepe memes well!

Is there a message hidden in the frog? Seems like so.
Would love it if you share with us the idea that was behind it.

My interpretation of being decent is being clean or simple in a way that it doesn't distort the idea of being sophisticated. The frog symbolizes the old logo of decent memes. and as you can see the way the limb of the frog had been lay out so as to form a letter D which is the first letter of the decent memes.@acidyo

Hmm cool, nice minimalist take on it. All the best!

wow!! I really like this. simple yet elegant ^_^

thank you i really hope. cross fingers :)

goodluck @redmonkey. you got some art here. ^_^

thank you :)

I really like this style

Well, fortunately it's not a vote-based contest.

I know, it's by electoral votes, not popular votes. I don't need to have my submission chosen as the winner to really win the contest.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Your submission made everyone else more of a winner in this contest.

Up votes are for charity here, plus @ned asked for some of this type of responses in chat. I have a few video's he requested coming soon too.

sooo....I guess you didnt like any submition enough to be used?

Winner will be announced soon.

Here is an attempt:

Hi @acidyo! Nice initiative!

  • Steem
  • Memes and fun

I don't quite like what you did with the frog, I think it needs a bit more shading because you did the typography so well! The typography has this very classical cartoony look and I like it! Good job on the kerning so both sides stay at the same length. But yeah, because you did the fonts so well it feels like you should have gone that extra mile on that frog shading.
But overall- really good job mate!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

thanks for your comment and suggestion @beercake I will do my best to improve my shading on my artworks. I really appreciate everything you said. :)

Please don't misunderstand me - I only said that you need to add shading to the frog is because you have shading and highlights on your text. Because of this diference the logo does not feel as uniform as it should. So right now you kinda have depth on the letters but the drawing looks kinda flat. So make it either everything is flat or everything has depth with shading. But since you did a really good job with shading on the letters - I suggest you add it on the frog as well.

thanks buddy im gonna work on my frog to make some improvements.

Hey buddy @beercake I apply what you said and I made some changes my frog looks better now big thanks to you. :)

Yes, now it looks finished!
Hey man, you did all the work. ;)

You realise you're spamming/post promoting on a comment now? Since you agreed... I am guessing youre waiting to be flagged? So confusing.

i haven't promoted any post... i just give my logo image there

Can't stop myself to say "It's cute!" @viralyard. Lol. 😄 I did try to click, it was more of like I was testing it if it isn't really a post promotion kind of cute stuff sending me somewhere if I click. But I was surprised it light up and that's it! How cute. 😄

I'm participating, thanks @acidyo for the chance.

Figured I'd come in and show these boys how a professional designs a logo for a meme website. Don't everyone all upvote me at once. I know this is probably the most high I.Q., testosterone thing to hit Steemit, but just calm down.

ooh, first!

Hello! I hope you like it.

Here is my first attempt at designing this logo. I created an organized photoshop file in case you wanted to make any changes or myself. I wanted something clean, keeping to the pepe, but also bright and appealing to look at, let me know what you think:

I can adjust any coloring, shadow's, and anything else you would like changed!
Thank you :)

amazing!

I appreciate it a lot :)

This is my 1st entry , How many I can submit or eligible to make and submit for this contest? @acidyo

I will try and have a good at this. As I can use all the SBD I can get because I will be using all SBD that comes into my account for a truck for the homestead.

DM.jpg

So I woke up this morning and realized I could make a better, more appealing logo for you. This time I decided to keep the originality of the Pepe, but made the text more appealing and bright to appeal to the eyes of the visitor. I also decided it would be cool to market the idea of decent memes, in a decentralized market so I decided to add that to the bottom so people who come accross the site will know right off the bat. Like my previous submission I have the PSD file as well so any changes can be made at anytime :)

I felt like Decent Memes is something good, so it is something that impresses upon meeting the eye. I felt Mr Bean's Rage Face version would be a fitting reaction to what decentmemes has to offer

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Glad to hear you guys still have plans for DM.

Any preferable style and color or should we just knock ourselves out?

edit: nvm, read the post again.

this is just a joke. Ill think of sth

Mind if I pay out 10/7/5 SBD to the 3 worst/funniest Decent Memes logos and banners?

Feel free to! Thanks!

We will be curating them properly so you really don't have to. :)

Bahaha I just realized that without creating another contest for the worst logos it would kind of be insulting for me to nominate anyone as such if they're just trying their best.

it would be a good idea to reward the funniest.

Worst logos i could do that :D

:D

That would be hilarious.
Though I can't quite tell which ones are unironically bad and which ones are someone trying too hard to make it shitty.

Haha I'm honestly surprised this is the first time I'm seeing this done with the meme. I'm sure this will open a whole new door of tons of Dmania vs. Decentmeme memes XD.

i did the same meme a month ago but pretty easy to tap the universe to create that

Multiple entries allowed?

Sure!

Awesome, you're gonna see a shitton of logos from my side then! Have lost all previous logo contests, can't lose this one. >:D

I just hope you saw my entry. :(

Hey ,i am an artist not professionally and I sketch things ,so all i have to do is create a logo and paste it here on your blog on this post or create a post on @decentmemeslogo ? Can we also post hand drawings of the logo?i am really interested so please answer.thanks for posting and letting us know @acidyo

The logo needs to be digital.

Ah i see. I’ll find a way to make it digitally then.thanks for replying.

If the logo is simple enough in design, I can make it digital for ya. :)

Do you mean it?😍 i would love to have some help.cause i have never made something digitally.are you sure? I’d appreciate the help.😊reply me if you want the drawing.thanks for saying this.

No worries, will do. 😄👍

I wish my upvote was worth much haha if you need sketching or drawing then you can ask me too.😊I’ll send you the drawing here cause steemchat hasnt send me a conformation code even after saying its in use.thanks.ill send you when its done.😁followed ya.

Haha, I'd advise you to Power Up, by converting SBD to Steem, to increase your up-vote worth!
If Steemit.Chat isn't working, you can also join Discord.
Thanks for the follow, waiting for the drawing!

i dont have such talent for this @acidyo especially when creating logo , for sure there are a lot of great and potential creators will partcipate. ;)

Glad to see you again in my newsfeed

Even though am not good in designing logos but i know friends who can.

Ill share this post on our group chat for them to see and participate. I hope one of them will win @acidyo

MeMeS...haha just make it simple hehe

Grateful to my friend @acidyo for having the initiative to make this contest, in particular I like them very much because it allows every user of this community to use their imagination to the fullest, so I leave my participation waiting for you to please.

Do you have any inpiration for us? Some style you would like to see?
Do you want "flashy" screaming log or something minimalistic? We can go many different routes. Some guidance would be nice to help us make you the perfect logo.

I second this, even though usually minimalist logos are preferred.

It's always a fine line between too much restriction and not enough information to work with.

There are already some really nice ones so I think I will pass on making a logo myself. Good luck guys!

This is my contibution...

Hey @acidyo. I entered your contest. The image below is a link to the entry post, which explains a bit about DecentMemes and the symbolism I put into the design.

This doesn't have to be the final product. I can put some more work into it if you like the concept (including cleaning up the lines, which are admittedly jaggy right now.

Is #decentmemes a new Steemit project?

Hey, that´s cool! It´s really funny see the "Ugandan Knuckles" there. Good luck in the contest!

I noticed this very late so I had to rush to get a few entries in, but here they are.

Because I had so little time they do not look as clean as they could, but should one of my designs win, I will be happy to recreate the same design with any requested amendments, in far greater quality, as I will have the time to do so at the point.

Here's a little preview, as they look very different in day/night mode.

It has shown up very small so you may want to just check out the original post, but this also gives a good view of how they would look at an icon scale.

I love the idea, it's like invisible ink :)
