The Making of RandoWhale [ Brand Design / Logo Presentation ]

in design •  7 years ago  (edited)

RandoWhale is the gambling whale of Steemit. If you want your post getting an extra push, then send 2 Steem Dollars to it along with your post's link. Depending how Randowhale feels you get a random upvote from 1-50%.

The concept of the logo comes from the movie Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas. The story is oddly amusing and it involves a little bit of everything really. Here are the variations I came up with after taking into consideration some of the..happenings that might or might not have taken place in Steemit.


Enjoy

you're welcome :-)

The good thing about this design is: 100% genuine, 100% funny and 100% original :) Nice!

These are amazing!
I'm looking for someone to do a logo for a steemit exclusive video series I'm starting.
Any chance you're available?

Sure, hit me up on Steemit chat

Same user name?

yes

Nice! You don't need to be afraid to get downvote on this one.

lol. You are being sarcastic right?

Sure. ;)

Good for the whole community having something like this. Nice whale! 😎

yeap!

I really like the Hunter. S. Thompson design! His illustrator and close friend Ralph Steadman has some amazing art pieces! I actually have a painting by Ralph called "Aspen Nights" tattooed on my arm!

Why save the whales when you can CREATE new ones?

mind. blown. :)

That looks really cool!

thanx man

Wow! I love the style, @kyriacos. What programs do you use?

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

thank you.
my hands and photoshop.

Ah super. I need to get a cheap wacom tablet or something and try out some stylus type work with photoshop. Never done it before.

a relaxing deed really

For sure. Creating art is always so relaxing for me.

This is really amuzing @kyriacos. I love it!

thank you @elemenya

Love 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', and love your whale design too. It seems to fit right into that crazy world, while simultaneously rocking this one! Haha :D

it does doesn't it? :D

You betcha! :D

My favorites are the original and psychedelic one!

dully noted

All of then are brilliant but the psychedelic one is GAS!

right on

Brilliant, love the Dr. Hunter S. Thompson whale, pretty perfect analogy with his incredibly random life and adventures. Great work!

nicely put. thank you

Awesome art!

thank you

You're welcome! Cheers!

this creature looks really cool .Steemit smoker.

Thank you

I believe i upvoted the post from a Greek!:)

Cypriot :)

You are talking with a Greek!:)

nice one :)

actually brilliant. i'll certainly be trying out the whale! :)

:)

This is really funny and well done! :D This could have potential to be my next tattoo :D

oh dear :D

Randowhale? I couldn't remember.. The name rang a bell but i couldn't concentrate.. Terrible things were happening all around me.. Just wait until you see those bats man..

:)

👍👍

👍

wow such a great source.. i am so into this

good!

Thanks for sharing! A link to your post was included in the Steem.center wiki page List of Bots. Thanks and good luck again!

thank you

Very nice work!

thank you

This is awesome good job great idea. I see randowhale even used it. Nice! Steem on my friend!!

yeap! steem on

So it's basically vote selling ? Disgusting

We are all selling something. We are all disgusting then

I disagree

explain why and how. may remind you that capital is social, intellectual and of course financial.

I originally didn't want to but alright.

We are all selling something == PROPOSITION A
We are all disgusting == PROPOSITION B

Does PROPOSITION A imply PROPOSITION B ?

No, it only does for 'WEAPON SELLING', or 'HUMAN SLAVE SELLING', or many other things, including 'VOTE SELLING ON STEEM'.

I can prove it easy by giving examples. Is selling food in a restaurant disgusting? No, it's legit because everyone likes eating out once in a while. Is a software developer disgusting because he sells you software? Not either.

Your @randowhale bot is disgusting because you monetize your votes (which are worth a lot because 600k delegated SP). A faithful steem user would curate normally and try to reward good content, not people who send 2 SBD.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Using your logic playing the lottery is also disgusting because people should always work hard to earn money.

No, it's legit because everyone likes eating out once in a while. Is a software developer disgusting because he sells you software?

like you mentioned above, depends on the kind. .e.g randowhale voting software.

people monetize everything in life. every. single. thing.

Perhaps you haven't realized it yet but Steemit is not only about posts. It is about the entire ecosystem much like any other economy.

I like how you made it random. It looks less like vote selling this way. But it still is. Especially if you use the tool a lot, it really doesnt matter at all thats its random on the long run.

I know what you mean by 'people monetize everything'. But I want STEEM to prosper. I believe what you are doing to be very toxic for STEEM.

If more SP gets delegated to you (or other whales start doing the same), then the trending page will end up being controlled by bots, and virtually as long as its worth it for authors, they will keep paying your fee, even if you raise it -> slowly syphoning the author rewards for yourself/whales.

Just like past exploits that baited people for upvote (steemsports etc), your exploit will have to be eliminated in the future.

Everything around us prospers because the community gives value. If people decide that Randowhale adds value then prosperity is ensured.

I started earning good a year after I joined Steemit. I saw the front page change more times than you can imagine.

btw. this is not my project. I just did the design.

Has it changed to 1-100%? I thought it was 1-50%.

maybe. you have to check. I am just the designer :)

I love these!! Psychedelic is my favorite but they are all great. Thanks for the laugh!!

glad you liked them

Amazing designs for sure. But out of all designs, that Psychedelic design surely has it's own charm and mysticism. As for using randowhale, I really want to use it for my next vote. It's just that I have been hearing a lot that it's not very profitable. In most cases it doesn't even break even. But still, I would give it a try as soon as I have 2 SBD. :)

well, that's gambling!

I really love these hand drawn type of logos. Very nice work. Do you use an Ipadpro to sketch? I've been thinking I can step my designing game if I got one.

Nice typography as well. It's an overall solid logo. Very inspirational. Well done!

Nop. just my hand and then coloring with the mouse on photoshop. Used to have a pen but gifted it to a friend that he was too much into anime :)

thank you for your kind words.

That was such a great movie, probably because of how whacked out it was.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

yeap. much like some happenings in our awesome community

Ain't that the truth! :-)

I use it everyday, not only fun but I've only made profit. Ily @randowhale.

I love this, great art, the randowhale is fun and awesome too, good to see people I follow and have thrown a randowhale vote to them and seen their bonus, so neat.

Not sure if you have seen the artwork for the Fear & Loathing comic book, it's awesome

https://duosear.ch/@crypto_collectibles/listing/dc96c63e108c7590ddeb757eb400457dfce67789

reading it now. wow.

Wow. Love these -especially psychedelic! Great job

glad you like them

There he goes. One of God's own prototypes. A high-powered mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

@SOUTH-PAW

:'D

I like the idea of @randowhale, but can never seem to get it at good voting power...

eventually the dice will smile at you

Nice design. I think the latest iteration is 2 sbd for a vote from 1-50%

I am sure there would be plenty more updates

upvoted and followed :]

thank you

Hell Yeh, it lookslike Hunter . S Thompson!

yeap. that was the point

it was that obvious hey> sorry, i love it too much

Brilliant Amazing work
Deserves an upvote and rrsteem

One of the greatest logos to ever grace the internet. YES! haha

We can't stop here, this is Whale country! lol

κουρασtika from posting so much, I need a break!

This scene was great with flea from red hot chili peppers haha

“With a bit of luck, his life was ruined forever. Always thinking that just behind some narrow door in all of his favorite bars, men in red woolen shirts are getting incredible kicks from things he’ll never know.”
― Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

beautiful. I think I might just watch it right now.

keep on Steemin!

Thank you @kyriacos I'm doing my best, Enjoy the rest of you day :)
And I will Steem Ahead!

you too

Awesome art man :)

thank you man

oh my! this is just too good! :) what a nice, distinctive style that reads very well as a logo design. Congratulations!

thank you. glad you like it!

I like the psychedelic one the most :) very nice

it seems to be the favorite for many

I love that movie! Especially the part when Johnny Depp is standing behind his car chasing away all the bats, which were not there!

dat scene huh?

Thanks! Upvoted as that information is new to me. I didn't know that we could get Randowhale to upvote for us.

visit the randowhale page for more info

Nice design, I really like the red one for some reason.

It's because you got a little bit of maaaaaad inside of you

That could indeed be the reason. Haha.

:)

Great artwork @kyriacos! How long have you been doing graphic designs

Thank you man. 15 years more or less

niiiice.,

thanx

Nice piece of art!

thank you

thank you

"This is bat whale country."

Dam it. I should have incorporated that as well.

Hey, it's not like I came up with it - add it next time!

I will!

This looks amazing!!! Great job kyriacos!

thank you man

Great work! @Kyriacos

thank you

Upvote back?

hey patrick

heyya! I am dreaming of riding one of those whales! XD

you notty notty thing

Oh, man, @randowhale has been such a great initiative for the community! I don't know how anyone could hate it. For only $2 or 2 STEEM, it could open up a lot of doors for people who don't normally receive tons of whale votes. So that's huge. Thank you for helping provide equal opportunity for everyone!

"we love to hate it". a very powerful relationship

Yeah, I get that sentiment, I just don't get where it's coming from. No one gets harmed and everyone benefits. It's not like you're robbing people. You're giving a voice to us voiceless minnows, née ... You're giving votes to us voteless minnows.

Yup, I'm giving myself a proper pat in the back for that one.

lol. thank you man

The logos look great! Awesome job. @kyriacos. Just one minor thing. @randowhale now upvotes from 1-50% (at double steem power) now to be able to upvote more people. He mentions it in his second link. The Mad red background looks great!

I will edit it. thank you

You are welcome. We are here to help each other. Randowhale used your design :)

i didn't expect something outstanding
but this design made you laugh out loud
brilliant job
absolutely hilarious

thank you man

Really enjoy this. Was a huge Hunter S. Thompson fan in high school!

excellent

Nice, one of my favourite films :-)

"There is nothing more depraved than a man in the throes of a raw ether binge. You can stumble around like the village drunk in some Irish novel, and what's worse you can watch yourself doing it. Luckily, this is a town that loves drunks, so they just turned us round, and let us loose inside!"

Cg

long time no speak man! thank you for stopping by.

great quote indeed

Haha, thanks! Yeah, it's good to be back, good to see you're doing well, hopefully I will have more time to post and engage. I'm just trying to thrash one out at the moment :-)

Cg

That quote was purely from memory btw :-D

Cg

lol. awesome :-)

Super nice! Why does the whale still kinda look like johnny depp?? lol

because THAT's what the point man

Dude, this is SO GOOD!

LOVE IT!

You are goddamn talented. <3

haha :)
wonderful job
love the movie
howeever...

it never ends!

this is just interesting as well as fun

thank you

nice...upvote and resteem for u

thank you

no problem....always support your posts...

That's pretty impressive sir!
I'm doing something similar to RandoWhale...but on a much smaller scale.
I upvote and comment on posts that people are specifically looking for upvotes and comments on!
Simple idea.
I invest weekly in my SteemPower, and will gradually build up a formidable upvote! Except I won't charge anything!...just a vote for my post is all it takes.

Good for minnows and newcomers!
Great post. Sorry if this came across as spammy, not my intention, just thought I'd share my similar idea!

that's a really good thinking man. keep it up.

thank you for the kind words.

Cool. I'm gonna follow you and hope to see some more drawings!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Every now and then I post artwork

Well that's probably my favorite piece of artwork I've seen on here yet.

thank you!

Very impressive.

impresoholio

thank you

That is A really good Logo thanks for shareing

thank you. glad you like it

Nice post! I like it!

thank you

Fear and Loathing is my favorite RandoWhale version. I like the idea of adding gambling to the mix - its a bit like Russian roulette!

Keep up the good work, creativity, and innovation!

Glad you liked it. Thank you

That is one Geeky smoking high Whale :)

thank you

Very welcome maestro!

Orange so so

ok :)

Dang, I wonder how ol' Hunter would've done on Steemit? Probably crushed it! Thanks for reminding me he existed, dig the Randowhale, I'll give it a try on my next post. :) Cheers!

He would have been a legend!

¡Amazing!

thank you

Thats looking awesome keep it up!

thank you. i will

I always long for designers ,cuz I'm not good at these things,, I envy you

and read my post ^^

thank you. i will

❤❤

❤❤❤❤

Haha, this is awesome! Great job with the design! You've got some skills!

And maybe in the future, you could produce a movie called Fear and Loathing in Steemit for real :P Followed you :)

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I can see it hitting the blockbuster already

Very creative... Keep the good work going :)

thank you

blue with background looks alright

awesome

Mad red because is the most Ralph Steadman like. But they are all really cool. Your a great artist. Thanks for sharing!

lol glad you liked them man

Do you work for steem? I wouldn't mind some sort of drpuffnstuff logo drawn I could use in my posts lol!!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

No I don't. Well, maybe we can arrange something. Hit me up on chat

Nice! I like the psychedelic one! Looking forward to your next posts :)

thank you

What a beautiful post !upvoted.follow back

thank you

Great art work dude! @sjennon check this out!

thanks man

Wow great work. Nice colors.

thank you. I picked them myself

Haha this is brilliant!!
I see this becoming and big thing and there will be T shirts with these designs in no time!!

great idea! hats and cups too.

I think your final pick is perfect. The yellow goes with the hat. I don't know how much agonizing you did to pick it but I like it the best.

lol. really not much.

I like the randowhale...a lot!

who doesn't

"Zang!" I love them all but the scetchy purple one....well it speaks to me. "Get in!"

:) sure sure ..i get it i get it

Your gonzo whale is a big smile.
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn random!"

What a great drawing! What does the @randowhale smoke?

What do you think?

He looks like an old and wise whale, so it's hard for me to say that he smokes tobacco​! I think it might be something green inside, but who knows!
Maybe he smokes some​ Steem!

exactly. nobody knows.
