The First Walking Talking Steemit Logo!

in steemit •  7 years ago 

I wanted to share my promotional Steemit comic with you guys.


I was inspired to create Steemit artwork after a chat with @sykochica. I couldn't figure out what to do at first. I thought about making the Steemit logo a character but couldn't imagine how to make the entire logo just one character. Eventually I decided all three squigglies could be people in squiggly suits. This was inspired by that episode of "Hey Arnold!" where Arnold has to wear the banana suit and accidentally winds up with that suitcase of money that was meant for some criminals...Oh, um yeah it was inspired by Arnold in the banana suit. I wanted to also make it promotional so that people could use it as they see fit around the web. So feel free to use it!

Here is the walking, talking Steemit logo!


Like most drawings it started out with a rough sketch.


I tried to make it show that we have a thriving and diverse community here on Steemit where you can get paid for learning and where you can create and share with like-minded people. In my year here I have learned so much about cryptocurrency and I joined knowing nothing but that bitcoin was some online currency. Go ahead and use this promotion for whatever you want! Maybe it'll bring a few people over here to Steemit. :)

Making this comic reminded me I want to do a quick tutorial on how to turn your hand-writing into a font installed on your PC. I used my own font for the conversation between the squigglies. Though, admittedly I need to clean up my font and make it a bit more legible. It was my first attempt.



Get these badges I made here.

Being flagged. You can actually get negative rep. XD That's what makes it extra funny. It is less than you start with at first. LOL

Awesome.

Thank you

Thanks :)

Awesome! Adds up spice to our logo, depicts happness.

That's great I like it, the woman up the front looks happy , but the other two look a bit concerned. Thanks for sharing.

I was 300% positive I commented on this post!!!

WTF?????

LOL, I loved this post.

I haz the dumbz.

Sorry.

This is a great blog! Love the pre logo sketch

Thanks. :) I thought about doing the whole thing by hand traditionally. Maybe I can try that too.

It would make it stand out more :-)

I really loved this comic and I think whimsy is a great promotional tool. You are quite good at this!

Thank you. :D I had fun making it!

THIS IS BRILLIANT!!!

OH MY GOD! Can i print these on t-shirts? let me know if i can....or what conditions exist....if you want to sell, i'll buy.

I was actually considering putting them on tees. I have an amazonmerch and a redbubble. Not sure they'd do as well with me selling them though because I don't have a huge following here/am not a whale. :> I was not sure if I should do amazon merch because of copyright by Kaylin put some steemit shirts on there with no issues so maybe I should do that? It would be a lot cheaper for the people if I used merch vs like redbubble.

I am really happy you like my walking logo so much. :)

well, you should make them available to buy with steem......
let's figure this out! I finally want a t-shirt...these are that good!

Hm yeah I wouldnt have the resources to make em available with steem...I definitely would like to do that though. It makes sense to have them available with steem I am just not sure how to go about that.

I am really flattered you like this one enough to wear it. :') I was sitting up all night trying to thing of how to animate the Steemit logo and finally realized each squiggly should be a person and they should be talking about Steemit. haha

it's really perfect. I want them for my daughter too.
This is weird, but I still don't have a steemit shirt...........i am far too picky, and wanted something really interesting. I like this...
I'll ask around about the shirts....it's a great one.

Well, if you come up with ideas let me know. I would love to help promote steemit. That matters more to me than making bank so I am open to any ideas/suggestions. :) If you end up needing to print them you can. I really can't see how I would swing it myself without using merch and then people couldn't use their steem...well....unless I just transferred their steem onto my card before ordering the tee with cash? I could do that? But yeah, I am open to any ideas. :)

let's look into it......

Also, I do plan to do more steemit and crypto art in general.

LOL love it. So cute!
