My Entry for The Alldutch Creations Logo and Divider Contest
When I read about the logo contest that was issued by @alldutchcreation I knew I had to give it a go. My brain went on with it straight away which was nice since I was getting bored on an empty train; noone to watch.
So yesterday, when it was too hot outside to actually enjoy the outdoors, I decided to play around with the ideas my brain produced on that train ride. The following is what I ended up with.
I created a logo, a complementary divider and a banner. All are designed with a transparant background, but I display them here with different background colours so you can see the effect in different background modes.
Logo
The rainbow colours I chose to fill the 'swushes' from the Steemit logo represent the versatility and colourfulness of the Dutch Creations community. The choice of font is a loose reference to the world famous Dutch design style "De Stijl" from the first quarter of the last century.
Dividers
divider in night toggle mode
divider in white background mode
Banners
I also created a few versions for a banner that could be used underneath posts, promoting Alldutch Creations or stimulating people to join.
The banners do have the background colours that are displayed.
I have tried to create a brand image that reflects both the platform Steemit, creativity, and the heritage of Dutch design. At the same time I made an effort to design a logo that doesn't steal an artwork's spotlight when displayed together in an image.
We are of course talking about the first stage here. Definite refinements will be made in a, hopefully, later stage.
I am anxious to find out what you think of my logo entry. Feel free to send me any feedback or constructive criticism. This is actually my first official logo design ever and I wouldn't mind some pinpointers
Thank you, @anouk.nox for turning a very boring train ride into a creative brainstorm session 😊
And, of course, the best of luck to all the other contestants!
This is a great entry. I hope the judges will love it as much as I do.
You do have to add another tag because right now your post doesn't show up on the alldutchcreations listing. That is a shame.
You forgot the 's' at the end, and unfortunately there is no way to adjust the first tag :(
Thanks, @ijmmai, some beauty pointers aside I was prety chuffed myself :-)
I thought it wasn't possible to use the s because of the limit of characters?
Anyways, not much I can do now, except for adding the tag with the s attached.
Shame we're stuck with this problem since it is so confusing.
Yep. To keep track of it the easiest way is to realize there are not many limitations on tag length, but there are on accountnames. So the accountname is the one that is lacking the 's'.
Since Steemit doesn't show posts 7days and up old, it shouldn't be that hard to switch the tag from alldutchcreations to alldutchcreation to have it all in sync again.
well, I just noticed that both tags are used and dispay the same content. So, it's all good. Somebody maybe created an alias link?
Uhm, that is because you are using both tags now :)
I was looking for your entry in the allcreations section and couldn't find it, that is why I mentioned it. And of course to tell you how awesome your logo is :)
Yeah, I noticed... it was the rare coincidence that both timelines shhowed the same first three posts that made me think one was redirecting to the other. But no. They're both in use, though. Which is what I meant with 'so confusing' in my first reply. But let :-)
Thanks again for the compliment on the logo. I hope it will be all over Steemit soon !
I hope it will be too, ... unchanged :)
Good job!! These are really good!
Would you have the time to design one banner for me?
Khrap khun mak, khrap @kaminchan!
I think I could find time for that :-) You on Discord?
You already know, that we like this entry a lot :) We think it needs to be a bit different though, but we can figure that out for sure.. so we are very hopeful you will provide us the winning logo :) for the divider we have already have an idea, will let you know in discord, it's a bit different than those showed above.. Great work !
Thanks again for the compliment! I will wait for your decisions.
