I dipped my toe in the #steemsilvergold waters today and I must admit I rather liked it… Here's that post… I decided to stay around a while and check out what was going on. Whilst I was there I saw that @raybrockman was running a competition to design a logo for him, actually re-running one and all the details can be found here. I had seen his initial post, but it was nearing the close, and so I didn't want to enter last thing.
From what I can gather @raybrockman has been around for a while and is a father figure over at #steemsilvergold, I've been watching him from afar and he seems like genuinely a really nice bloke. Generous and supporting to the core and in reading his posts you can build up a picture of the man behind "stackitus". He's a family man, loves stacking and crypto to feed his stackitus habit, great sense of humor, owns a bulldog, doesn't tolerate nonsense or cheating…
Ray's criteria for his logo:
- My name
- steem silver gold
- crypto currency
- Steemit
- Giving
Taking all that into consideration, here's my design for @raybrockman's logo.

I hope that this design encapsulates all of these. Oh and "dare quam accipere" is Latin for "better to give than to receive".
Anyway @raybrockman, I hope you like it and even if it doesn't win, you should have a kickass logo and I'm looking forward to seeing it stamped in silver :)

I just talked with the guy who will make the stamp. The shield can not have any layers to it. Like the coin and the crown. So what if you placed SSG in the middle of the shield. Also none of the blacked out section would show up either.

@owenwat thanks for your comment and feedback, I was wondering whether I should add the English version and will play around with the the design, here's another variation, but I'll see if I can get the motto inside the shield without it being too small...
