A Quick Overview

This contribution is for the steemgigs' new website. It's like a freelance marketplace but us steemians. And as a freelance graphic designer, I wanted to contribute something to this project in my own creative ways because this might be the new home of graphic freelancers in the future.

Steemgigs' Github Project:

The Idea behind the logo

The logo should symbolizes the vision and the principle of an organization. I've put a lot of thought in making this logo in order to represent the organization.

Steam as a symbol of progress, skill and advancement.

The idea of the steam symbol increasing in size, symbolizes freelancers' personal growth skill-wise, the growth of the Steemgigs community and the advancement of steem blockchain.

Cup. symbol of individuality and the daily grind of every freelancer

a cup of coffee has always been a major part of hardworking people. grinding and hustling everyday to earn and sustain themselves. Also every cup of coffee has a different story. many of us individuals have our own challenges that keeps us up at night and burn the midnight oil.

Steam. the equivalent of Steem currency, the fruit of labor

This means that this organization revolves around the steem blockchain. This also represents what Steemgigs can offer to the freelancer community. It serves as a marketplace to everyone who gives their service in order to earn.

Benefits / Improvements

Identity and Memorability

Since SteemGigs still doesn't have a logo, I created a logo that will give the organization the identity they need. The simplicity of the logo will have the memorability factor. This means whenever people see this logo, It will be easy to remember that this stands for SteemGigs.

Flexibility of the logo

I made sure that the logo could be incorporated in many ways you can imagine. Whether you put it in a black and white background, The white and purple are interchangeable. Even when you scale it down or make it big, it will always be identifiable. You can even use this as an app icon.

Gran trabajo. De vez en cuando es bueno para los desarrolladores obtener un poco del profesionalismo de un diseñador grafico.

The logo looks like a flame also, for me it could represent or symbolizes our burning desire to further steem growth by consistently producing quality contents.

Thats another good way to look at it. Good eye!
