Current Submissions

This first design in from @welshstacker and you can find the full post with more photos and the full description here
Here's a quick exert but it's worth reading the entire post and story at the link above.

So I've called the idea THE COMMINI-TREE (community) for obvious reasons, it's based on the tree of life pattern. So sit back, grab a cold beer and allow me to take you through my thought process... Hold tight, it's a mine field of random thoughts!!

These next two designs were both submitted by @ricko66. They both feature an image of the globe that is connected via the steem blockhain, another really interesting design showing how steem is really making connections. You can read more about them HERE and HERE.

@photoquest drew this great design depicting a STEEM whale, he also corportated a pretty cool mandela design, with the center looking kind of like feathers and a dream catcher, not sure if he took some inspiration from our mint logo but we really like it. You can see his full post HERE

This design is from @daryjean has a few different variation, but it's interesting to include the traditional circuit board background that is popular on many other cryptocurrency rounds. He also included the @VOTU Pirate Queen in the center image. Unfortunately the STEEMIT logo that was included in a corporate trademark and not available for reproduction on this type of project. But please check out his post and show him some appreciation.

@skeptic was at it again, with a few more designs in this post HERE. This one above really stands out from that post.

This is the last of the recent batch of designs, this one is from @yesaye and depicts his represetion of "the Circle of Steem" He included lots of elements to represent different aspects of the community and also the associated dApps. You can read the full background in his post HERE
