COMPETITION - Create new avatar for ReSteemBOT and win 50 SBD
Hi, Friends.
ReSteem Bot just keeps growing and growing.
There are over 750 followers now.
Thank you for being part of the project.
As the bot grows, it needs to also become more presentable.
It needs proper instructions, logo, banners and etc.
For now let's focus on the front picture!
| Contest Entry | N. of Rewards | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| ------------ | ------------ | ------------ |
| ReSteemBot Avatar | 1 winner | 50 SBD |
Requirements:
- The entry must be original content (copied work will be flagged!)
- It must represent the micro-community of @resteembot's followers, and not just the bot itself.
- It must be have good resolution and quality (if it's 50x50 then I can't really use it)
- It must be of rectangular-ish shape. (if it's 100x1400 then it is a banner, not an avatar.)
There is no limit on the number of entries.
You can make as many avatars as you wish.
The winner will be decided by me, personally.
Upvotes and comments also matter, but they are not a deciding factor.
The competition will end 7 days after this post is published.
Additional information
The avatar doesn't have to be a robot.
It doesn't have to be an individual.
It doesn't have to be 1 single thing.
It HAS to represent the idea of a community for resteeming. The micro-community.
The goal of this bot is to create a micro community of people who want to be heard, and who look at the bot's feed more than the trending or hot feeds, because the content are simply better.
It's not there yet, but that's the goal.
Lastly :
- By entering this contest you agree to license @resteembot to use your work as representative avatar.
- @resteembot on the other hand agrees to not use the works of any of the contestants that do not win, except if they explicitly license @resteembot to do so.
- That basically means that @resteembot will have full rights of usage and editing of the winner's avatar.
- Also - the winner has the choice of licensing his work for everyone, or exclusively to @resteembot.
(I do understand that these details are obvious, but I believe it is a bad practice that other contest organizers do not state licensing issues explicitly. Licensing is important.)
@resteembot is a bot that resteems your content.
All of the resteembot's followers will see it in their feeds.
So how do you use it?
- Follow @resteembot
- Wait 3 hours, until @resteembot finds that you are following it.
- Send a transaction to @resteembot, where the public memo is the post's link.
- The price is your reputation divided by 1000. (For 44 reputation the price is 0.044 or more)
- Any currency is accepted
Here is my entry, thanks :)
It is a valid entry and I can see that you put a lot of effort in it.
The problem is that it is too... I don't know... Sharp.
No... That's not it.
Anyway.
I like that there ar the steem logo and the resteem logo.
I do not like that there are too much stuff. If I put it as an avatar, these details will be so small that they will be hard to see.
I am giving you this feedback, because it is allowed to enter the competition with multiple avatars.
Can you put the two logos side by side and then zoom in to only include the torso, head and hands.
Also - move the hands in a more natural position. That one is threatening.
Anyway.
Thanks for your work so far.
Thanks! Unfortunately we live in a world where time = $$ and this is about the best 45-50 minutes of free labor I can produce ;)... I can do one more edit for you but you need to be more specific, on a piece of paper I want you to sketch a basic outline of what you want this logo to look like, with arrows pointing (I want steem logo here, I want left arm like this, etc..etc..) and describing what you want where (and the exact pixel dimensions you want). When that is complete take a pic of the piece of paper with your cell phone and upload so I know exactly what you want. Unfortunately I am going on a trip tom so I may not have time to work on this until wed. Thanks
I am not that good at art. I can't really express what would feel right.
The prize got updated to 50 SBD thanks to a sponsor.
That would be worth a bit more of your time, I hope.
Good luck.
You dont have to express anything, all you have to do is show me how you want it positioned and framed
Don't know.
I don't even know if I want it to have a human-like body.
I don't even know if I want it to be a robot. It could be one, but that's not a deciding factor in any way.
I want something that represents the idea of the resteeming community.
ah ok, I thought you wanted a robot, well since you dont know what you want, I just tweaked my design a bit...
Hey. The prize increased if you'd like to try again.
Hi @dksart, interested in my graphic contest?
https://steemit.com/resteem/@gasaeightyfive/contest-improve-these-2-logo-pictures-winner-gets-30-free-resteem-open
Thanks : )
A couple ideas. Both fully vector, scaling and open to suggestions.
Please dont't copy my style. Thank you. @resteem.bot
How is he copying your style ??? Are you just trolling?
What style is this? The use of the resteem symbol? Most of these submissions do use it. In the end, the winning logo is going to be used by this account anyways. I will gladly retract my submission if you find that it isn't something you like.
First he copyed my concept and now I see there logos that have the same basic idea like my logo.
It is not about the resteem logo. But how to use it.
If you think it is okay so I can copy back you later. :) @resteem.bot
Again, I don't see anything similar in my use of the resteem symbol that isn't also reflected in several other images below. In the end, this image is going to be used by you anyways, so I am not stealing any value, or gaining anything for myself that won't also benefit you anyways. Would you like me to remove the images and retract my entry into this contest?
Edit:
I have just noticed that there are 2 bots? @resteembot and @resteem.bot ?
In this case, since @resteem.bot isn't the one I am creating this image for, I am less concerned with his belief I am copying his style of image.
If you have concerns with the fact that this image is a copy of yours, consider that there are only so many ways to represent the concept needed here, and take up any concerns with the other account running a resteem-bot.
https://steemd.com/@resteembot/
https://steemd.com/@resteem.bot/
In these 2 pages anyone can easily see who copied who.
One exists since 15 days - the other since 11.
In short - he's trolling.
As for your submissions:
Can you extend on the idea of the first one?
I like the concept of connections through resteems.
P.S. - I am sorry that I give my feedback so late, when there is only 1 day left of the contest.
I figured out who was who real quick, just from behavior.
I will play around with the first one, see if it can be expanded on.
Something like this?
nope... it was better before.
Don't try to make it a robot
If you just look at the first image, do you not see a connecting chain, with the resteem logo on it?
Work on that idea.
Make it a bit less abstract, so that anyone could notice it.
Congratulations and good luck, I hope you get lots of great designs to choose from. I also have a question, which may sound silly to you, but I am lost gain lol. I got some upvotes from minnowsupport, but today I got message that I am Level UP LVL1. Can you please clarify what that means ? Thank you so much.
you mean on the discord app?
It is just a way to differentiate the frequency of using, as far as I know.
I never really asked about it, so I can't tell you more.
Oh I see, thank you so much.
What about these ones?
(some of them seem the same, but have different transparent layers.)
I can change any details you dislike.
For example - the size of the follower bubbles, or the size of the resteem arrow.
Any colours and positions can also be changed.
Just say the word.
Try with a bigger resteem arrow and make the circles with people not look like a human. Right now it looks like a deformed happy humanoid. :D
Try making them 3 instead of 5.
How about this design?
All images are the same - just different sizes.
Good design.
Also - it scales well to different sizes.
Here is the same one with a small change - the middle pillar is more obvious in it's root. (Basically I just added 2 white lines.)
Haha! Is that a cleaning bot?
Cool and fun idea.
Yeah. The best robots are the ones that do the things you don't want to!
