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.

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.
