Hello Steemians,
I am happy to announce new eSteem logo concept, here is the first preview...
Why new logo?
Because eSteem is mobile/desktop application powered by Steem blockchain, doesn't necessarily have to use Steem logo which in current/old logo you may have seen. So this change is to continue conveying respect and admiration to the platform and keep coloring scheme, but to also have branding for app itself.
New version of eSteem is almost ready and announcement will follow in next couple days with some big changes.
Stay tuned, follow @good-karma!
What do you think about new logo?
EDIT
Here after final touches:
Very nice. I like the new look!
Glad that you guys like it! ;)
Incorporating the "e" holding the steam within, keeps with the color scheme. Quite nice. 👍
exactly ;)
Much better than the old one, and very clever to include the e from eSteem !!! Very good looking!
Missed this post.. but since you mentioned it in your update! Great logo, congrats... Wonderful!
Thanks brother! Glad you liked it... ;)

Cool idea @good-karma! Let me know if you need any help with this rebranding project. I would be more than happy to sketch up some ideas or even tweak this idea for you!
Thanks @rigaronib for offer, sure I can use help with polishing above logo and if you have something in mind, open for suggestions as well... ;)
Here are some that I came up with just for the fun of it! :D
Cool, second one on top looks similar :)
You have a talent, man... from your blog I can see a lot of great art works! 👍
Here's three styles that I made. The top left was kept more sharp, the top right one has the outer curve left sharp with the inner corner rounded, and the bottom one has both inner and outer corners rounded off. The changes to each are very subtle, but they definitely make the logo look different - Hope you like them!
If there is one you that you would like to use, let me know and I will send you the file in Steemit.chat. :)
Wow, lovely work man! Thank you! Which one do you think is better for long term, I would prefer bottom? Do you think subtle change on sharpness has some effects on users, psychologically, mood, that's very important?!
Updated post with final touches, check it out ;)
I do not like these. Very boring. Looks like AT+T
No problem at all, friend! I agree with the one that you picked, the curves make it a bit more elegant.
I'm so happy you liked them! Now you know that I exist, so if you need help designing anything in the future, you can contact me! :D
It's nice to be able to get my name out on a place like Steemit.
Also, I'll find you on chat in a bit and send you the actual files so you have them. Cheers!
Indeed, brother... We have some plans and whenever there is a need for designer input, I will sure to reach out to you... Have a nice day! ;D
Thanks so much @good-karma! That means a lot to me. I will attempt to alter the logo you put up a little later and see what you think! Any way that I can help! :)
Thank you, looking forward to see what kind of polishing you can do... :) I was trying to make curves more smoother and so it looks sharp and elegant.
Those are very nice!
Thanks @kus-knee! I appreciate it!
Wow dude, those are great, I can't do this stuff, lol, great work!! Oh and --- here is some free SP for you friend -- https://steemit.com/rewards/@taskmanager/the-life-of-a-task-manager-here-s-what-s-involved-in-bringing-you-today-s-paying-posts
Hey, thanks a million @barrydutton! Makes me feel good when people enjoy my work!
I like these much better.
I think it's a really good logo, nice work gk
thanks justin ;)
I like it.
Thanks @rossenpavlov...
Very cool logo!
Thanks!
I like the general direction quite a lot, but the disproportionate gap between the light blue and the bottom curve throws me off a little.
Thanks @baerdric for the input.... Hmm polishing will be made though gap might still stay disproportion, otherwise it is bit different logo, appreciate feedback... let's see final version in couple days. The reason there is disproportion, because we want to have upward on light blue and bottom line of
e...Yeah, I just did a few sketches and it either looks disproportionate or doesn't look much like an "e".
BTW, appreciate the app, can't wait to see the update.
Right... :) Thanks! Update is coming soon with number of fixes as well as new features that I think, you will like. ;)
Good improvement. Like it
Honestly I like the old one, but maybe it is just that familiarity thing working... either way I continue using it a lot.
You have a few things I wish Steemit would adopt as well... but again I speak from my own selfish needs or wants.
Thanks for contiuning to evolve the platform @good-karma
Look at this new logo, I think this one has stronger branding and sticks to you. Although I am open to more suggestions if you have in mind. Updated post content with why change on logo....
Yes the old logo attractive in my opinion I like
UV and RS for you, I thought I had followed you awhile back, I just did not.
it makes sense what you say, and it looks great. Conveys the msg quickly and clearly - Nice work!!
Appreciate it Barry ! ;)
Really looks good...
thanks @jamiehinchman
welcome keep up the good work
I think its fresh
yes it is :)
As long as you make sure it show as a circle and not stretched on the app, go for it. I like it !
Do you see any stretched logo on app currently? Could you please point out so we can take a look?! Thanks, glad you like it!

Oh thanks, is that splash/startup screen?! Will look into this.
I like this. Very sleek, and uniform. And hip. Is that a word still? Nice concept.
it's a hip, indeed :)
glad you like it!
I really like it, it's very refreshing.
thanks!
Very nice! It's members like you that add a lot of value here. With the rise in price I was inspired to write a poem as my latest post! Weird because I never write poetry!
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
Looks good :)
Thanks brother, glad you liked it! :)
I dig it. Clean up those curves and it will look great!
Yeap, working on it... thanks!
I do like this new look :)
Thanks Karen! :)
Interesting: I read an article about how Heineken changed its logo a decade ago so that its "e" would be slightly more "smiling". Is it what you tried to do it there as well?
Maybe :) purpose it to have easy to eye and easy to remember, easy to find among your other apps on device and have positive look
Looks nice..but do we need to change it now as theres not a lot of people who dont know about steem as yet
Hi @immarojas,
I assume, you haven't heard of mobile application eSteem?!
eSteem is mobile application for iOS link and for Android link. Changes on logo is for eSteem application only.
I see,let me check if i can download it.thank you.
Update is coming soon with more improvements ;) Let me know if you have any issues...
Ok will do ;)
love the name concept eSteem, but logo proposal is not following the strength of it's concept. Looks like first solution that occur your mind. Drop your drawing pen, and brainstorm/visualise at least 10 variations before you sketch them.
Well if you are eSteem mobile application, check current logo, would love to hear your suggested drawings/concepts... edit: just updated post with why change on logo...
im on desktop, still seeing old one
eSteem is mobile application for iOS here is link and for Android here is link, also check my blogs for updates on Desktop version of eSteem.
i have priniciple of not using smartphones :) I will ... tnx
I see :) Desktop version of App is not far from release, stay tuned!

I don't like it1 It reminds me of a certain logo code :-(
what logo code? If you can, please clarify...
It doesn't 'look' like it. It 'reminds me' of it. Just the spiral element that's all.
