Logo Contest for Project Curie - Calling All Designers!
Dear Steemit community,
We would like to announce a logo contest for Project Curie. As you may be aware of @curie's daily curation posts - the team would like to have something that stands out, representing the spirit of the project. So what's up with Curie?
The name was suggested by one of our curators @liberosist, inspired by the works of both Marie Curie and Pierre Curie. In his own words, @liberosist enthusiastically said:
"The most surprising (or maybe not) discovery in researching about great minds is that behind every great success is mostly luck. There's obviously a lot of effort involved, but there are many who are just as smart and work just as hard, never quite had the luck."
With that in mind, we do not want to restrict anyone's creativity. The logo just needs to be original. It could be in symbolic-form, text-form, or both!
Submission, Judging, and Contest Prize
- Submit your designs in the comment / reply section by 12.00 PM UTC Time (14 September 2016).
- You may submit as many designs as you like.
- Top 10 designs by amount of votes (not comment payout value) will be selected.
- Project Curie members will deliberate 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place based on the selected designs.
- 1st place: 50% of SBDs generated by this post.
- 2nd and 3rd place: 25% of SBDs each generated by this post.
Disclaimer
- Make sure designs are original.
- Project Curie members reserve the right to forfeit submissions that are misleading.
- We may stick to one logo, or rotate among the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place logos in anything Project Curie related.
Clarification update
- Ties in number of votes are counted as one position in the top 10 designs.
- Winning designs will be announced in channel #curie (https://steemit.chat/channel/curie) at 6.00 PM UTC (14 September 2016).
- Community voting will determine the Top 10 designs! Revised due to unexpected volume of submissions.
- Logos which are only available in low-res raster, or non-editable format will be disqualified.
I think its important to incorporate steemit into the logo as its a sister project and both are intertwined.
Again a simple design which can be more powerful and easier to use across all media.
light version
Thoughts on the logo:
Icon: support authors aka cautiously raising a little plant; the seed is there (post + author) it just needs some help, and water and 'light ' > light = attention = project curie
colors:
green: synonym for growth and helpfulness
black: seriousness, reliability
dark version
neat design @sascha!
I can only agree! :-)
The best design for the project in my opinion!
Definitely UP vote ;D
I really like this logo because it is about nurturing the growth of content creators, by shining some light on their work. Very nice.
This is really creative, however I feel like the loss of readability isn't worth the symbolism of the magnifying effect ..
What if the magnifying glass were over say a school of tadpoles/minnows and the one in focus is magnified ? No loss of brandname readability and gets the same message across (clearer imo). My $0.02 ...
It's one word. 5 letters. I don't think there is a loss in readability .
I like your idea but its more like a depiction of a story rather than a logo. A logo needs to offer some playfulness and still be simple and direct to the original mission. I am not saying mine is perfect but I believe it adresses all the main points of a logo concept.
Is that a monocle btw? Figuring out whats the stringy stuff
here is without the tail thingy. the string can also turn into a chain if we want
Yes a monocle with a fish/whale tail.
I chose that instead of a magnifying glass in order to keep the design cleaner. I also considered the "curation" aspect of rather "high quality material" and the british monocle seems to fit quite well
This is so insanely good!
@modernbukowski thank u that means a lot :)
Looks great! A bit on the dark side IMO but I like it!
@firepower it can be adjusted when its processed into digital form :)
your story linked me to this!
thumbs up mate
thanks a lot @babochilac :D it means a lot :) stay tuned for more of my updates :D
I'm abstaining from voting on entries here because my votes are being followed, and I don't want to skew the results..
But if I could, I'd pick this one - its really nice and clean and minimalistic .
@ausitbank thanks very much and i would urge you to vote anyways since many other people are in the same boat and Curie might miss out on good options simply because people like me dont have a large following. Regardless, i appreciate your support!
another variation as requested on my page:
Here's a variation on this
with all these concepts I'm trying not to be super "on the nose" with all the whales, fish, marie curie stuff. Hope you guys enjoy them.
I really like the first one! Good luck!
thanks very much, appreciate it!
I really like the 3D one
Some really profesional designer behind these logos. Great work!
This one is also nice! :D
I would like this more if it was cropped a little and had a more dynamic colour as the background. But the concept is great.
That's why I created it this way. Solid colors + solid edges = we can use whatever colors we want. It's basically a stencil. And it's scalable. :)
My Logo Further Explained
I adore this one. It's cute, light-hearted and I like that it's a literal-symbolic representation.
I mean I can't NOT smile looking at that.
Cute as the doge coin!
Thank you :) i really appreciate the kind words :)
This is fun!!!
