My Submission to Blocktrades Logo Challenge πŸ’₯

in steemit β€’Β  7 years agoΒ  (edited)

This is my submission for the Blocktrades logo challenge held by @officialfuzzy. The challenge is to create an updated logo for Blocktrades that reflects how fast and cutting edge the Blocktrades tool is.
I decided to focus on the speed and also I wanted to make it look more modern and clean as well as professional. Below are my different designs submissions.

I didn't want to change much from the original idea of a block and than the main focus being the bitshares logo. Instead I focused more on the proportions and the texture.

The texture I believe is very modern looking and reflects the fast speed of using Blocktrades. I also made one other design as seen below with just normal blue color which I also think looks okay.

Overall i think the original logo is good, at least conceptually. Hopefully this design can make it look a bit more modern. For you who are not so familiar with Blocktrades you can visit www.blocktrades.us to see the original logo. Further more in you haven't use this website before I strongly recommend it, because it doesn't get more convenient than that (some ass kissing here at the end but I am actually speaking the truth and I use blocktrades often).

Please let me know what you think of the designs and more importantly have an awesome day !

super post i like it

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I like the first 2 way more than the third one.

I completely agree with you ! The third one feels like it's missing something

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Yes, it reminds a bit of old video game logos which makes it look a bit outdated.

The first 2 are looking way more modern, which I like

Thanks man I appreciate your honest opinion that's what I need :) it's also interesting how much small details can do hehe

I thought, the 3rd picture is showing the process, before I read this comments :)

Some images are loading very slowly, I think maybe I made the size too big..
Thanks a lot for your resteems! I really appreciate it :)

You are welcome! It's a pleasure for me

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Like the lid! 😁

I like this :)

Thanks a lot buddy I appreciate it :) please let me know if I can ever help you with some 3D design - I would be glad to !

This is a very beautiful design! I wish you success for the competition.

Thanks a lot :) I am keeping my fingers crossed hehe

Thousand felicitation @dandesign for being the winner of the beyond bits challenge. He really deserves it far in front of others. Congratulation man.

Thanks a lot my friend I really appreciate you saying that :) tip! 0.3

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Thank you @dandesign86 but you really deserve it hands up :)

Thanks man πŸ™ 😊

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Wow! That looks really cool and real.

thank you ! did you change your display pic? it looks great :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

I changed it a long time ago actually. :-). Thanks!

Nice mate....

Thanks :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Super cool. I like #2 :)

Thanks for your input, now I have two people saying they like the 2nd picture. I like the first because it's clean, but the second says more. Thanks for your input :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

No worries! I think the second would be just as clean if the dollar sign on top was removed.

Good point, the dollar sign is not really clear what it is anyways because of the angle

That is some fine work, my friend.

I just wanted to ask what's the software you are using I don't recognize it.

It's Rhino for 3D modeling and Keyshot for rendering :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Woah never heard of them I will check some Video Tutorials about it later.

Thanks @dandesign86

You are welcome Arunava

I love when you show progression! My vote is for the first one. πŸ‘

Oh! New profile pic! You look fantastic

Heheh thanks Karen :) yea I tried to update my profile a little bit. I'm have been like one of those fashion designers who loves to make trendy stuff but wear outdated clothes hehe

They all look pretty impressive and thanks for showing the process for these designs too.

Thanks buddy ! The steps are not so detailed but at least it shows a bit of the process.

At least your building your visions into a reality. Other people usually take their visions to the graveyard with them.

That's true! I'm open to critique for sure, because everyone has their own interesting perspective of seeing things and can thus contribute with good feedback.

Indeed better putting it out there than keeping it inside our heads.

nicely done! i want to participate to!

You definitely should ! The competition is open for a week I think

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ (edited)

i submitted my entry!!! hehe thank you! check it out!

I just saw it ! Very nice work :) thumbs up πŸ‘

Thank You! But your entry is the bomb!!!;)

Thanks man :)

not bad, I liked your logo.

Thanks buddy :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Nice work, 2nd one in my humble opinion πŸ‘πŸΎ

Thanks buddy :) I appreciate when I get some feedback !

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

No worries!

And well done for flying up my little curation league this week!

Thanks buddy, I don't use any autovoting, is that something you would recommend ?

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

If you have a small group of people you like supporting then it does make life easier.

Steemvoter works for me in this way. For my blogs 25 mins is a good time, I'll be adding bots and get more votes after this point. I think I vote at 25 on your blogs.

I still try to get round my follows as comments are just as important I think.

Keep an eye on your voting power if you decide to go with it.

Which service do you use for doing it automatically? Do i need to use my master password in order to use it ?

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

https://steemvoter.com/

Pretty sure you don't need your master password, I can't remember needing a key at all actually - a non steemit password is what I use to login (now)

Awesome ! Well I think i might start using it as well. I mean I know I'm gonna vote anyways and with time difference etc it would be nice to still catch the post . Thanks a lot for sharing the info that is much appreciated:)

Excellent logos.. the first 2 are more preferred than the 3rd..its colour is too bright ..the first 2 logos colour is sober and the design is modern..

Thanks mate, i agree with you as well :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

These designs are really beautiful..

Thank you :)

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

Really nice @dandesign86 you will break the house!... really cool design especially when there is a lot of boolean on the side not always easy to get it right. Just find out today about it I will make a fast design too.

Thanks a lot mate, I really appreciate it :) you should definitely go for it ! Looking forward to see your design !

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ 

I may be ready to post it in 30 min but I have to render on a dark BG on clear will not be good.

Β  Β· Β 7 years agoΒ
