RE: Curie Logo Design Contest - Thought and Inspiration
I always enjoy getting to read insight into the design process, thanks so much for this post! Your design was kind of polarizing, with some REALLY strong supporters/advocates and some people who thought it looked like a downvote symbol. In the end I thought it was really cool and had it in my top 3 on my own ballet as a Curie curator. I see the heart, and I see the love <3 You rock!

Thank you so much for the comment and support! It has been an absolute pleasure. I found that very interesting since I think @fraenk also pointed out the downvote, where as in my context (since Steemit has no direct downvote symbol, but rather the flag) I didn't see the downvote at all.
Of course once it was mentioned, I couldn't unsee it, but by that time it was too late. I completely get why some people would see that though, and of course why some people would be against that, since it could have a negative connotation. I guess it's just the magical (and somewhat tedious) world of design. :D
