RE: 3 Problems With The New Logo - A Critical Review - How About A Community Contest To Fix The Logo?

in #steemit7 years ago

If the team opened it to changes, I'm sure the community could come up with great branding.

I didn't present an alternative because I doubt they are open to changing it.

I'm not a designer. I've hired 99 designs for a lot of projects and I have a branding background. I know what it takes, but I'm not the artist for the job. I could get it done though. In 3 days.

Yeah we can't do much about that. Although...
What if you held a contest, and once the option is there..
Never know, might entice them to at least test it out internally..
It would be a good community engagement project if nothing else.
A way of exploring peoples ideas without undermining the current choice.

At the end of the day though, there are many successful brands with average logos.
People get used to it or just accept that they don't like it.

Also, yeah you do present as someone that knows the points of branding.
I did appreciate your video. Thank you for doing so.

I appreciate your feedback. Thanks a lot for taking time to give me some ideas.

I agree with you. Many good ideas for improving this site immensely, with just a small change of code, have fallen on deaf ears. It seems like the steemit developers only read github, and not their own site.

The people of steemit should have come to the community for logo ideas. But, the first we knew about it, our eyes were bleeding from this neon aqua color.

This new logo is like one I would design. And since I am not a designer (of logos) I know my designs, unless divinely inspired, fall short. Hire real talent to do this all important thing.

Exactly. Branding is a hugely important part of a fledgling social media site. It's something that should be given a huge amount of care. This looks like something I might order on Fiverr.com
