My entries to the contest.
I came up with two designs using Adobe Photoshop CS7 and Corel Draw X8 respectively.
And though the design is not on a transparent background, I believe it will be better appreciated on a white one.

Hello! I'm Creative Creature, Artist based in Berlin :)
Thanks for the amazing contest and I really do love Steemit's idea of sharing.
The world is not a battle or competition, in here our share make more values.
I like CC for the same reason.
When I designed this,
I've looked up the color which makes Steem logo brighter,
and that was almost complementary color :)
We also can say about Balance of two opposite, like Yin/Yang or Coexistence of various opinions in Steemit.
And I put Black and white simple line on the back so that Show how Steemit added color to my black and white life.
And I keep it simple :)

and I worked with Adobe Illustrator :)
I hope add this image on Pixabay too, if that is not too late!
Thank you!
Just in time ;) If you manage to get this added to Pixabay, I'll definitely send you the bonus. I will allow a time extension for that, since the process can take some time. I'm now looking over everything and will announce the winners later today
@daan a nice way to give back to the community. Although I am not taking part in the contest..but i would love to tell you something interesting "daan" is a hindi word too which means donation or to offer or to give in gud gesture like giving to priest of temple some kind or similar stuff.
