Introduction
It was about a week ago when I was having a discussion with @sireh, @perennial, @rambai and @aurah if we need to identify our community with a recognisable iconic image. That image will be a representation and manifestation of our community. There must be some affiliation to us as creative content providers.
We came up with a few ideas toying with the logo of steem and steemit. We are also aware that the Intellectual Property to the Steemit logo has limited usage since it is a protected mark. So we explored whether we fall within commercial use, a reproduction or derivative works. Through our very limited understanding and of course guided by @perennial who is also our Intellectual Property legal advisor, we thought that although it is not meant for commercial purpose but its use is limited to propagating the use this logo within our #steem-cartoon community it would amount to fair use.
But in the exercise of extra caution @ned and @dan if you are reading this, our use of this logo was sparked by the initial steemit logo but although we do not consider it a derivative work we would like to seek permission (we maintain that there is no infringement of copyright) for the use of this mark. We also hope that serious consideration to be given that the entire initiative was not spurred by any commercial benefit except for communal growth.
The Idea
Creative people have this habit of staying up late. Most of the work are usually done when everyone is asleep. That is why it is not surprising that we affiliate ourselves with the owl. Which is nocturnal in nature. The logo came from the the following flow idea of idea...
Introducing SteemCartoon
I toyed with the idea of incorporating the eyes and incorporating steem logo into the words.
If there is a picture that best describe us would be this very owl.
Life as a Steemit Owl
You know that we work hard during the daytime as animators, cartoonists, artists, executive, clerks and etc. But once we punched our card and call it a day in the office, we put on our steemit cap and during the night when everyone is sleeping, our light bulb is brighter than daylight. Hence the owl manifestation.
It has been a wonderful trip with this group of artists and creative content producers. I am proud to be part of #steem-cartoon and I wish them all the best. Hopefully I manage to deliver my part by producing this piece.
They say the early bird catches the worm. But they forgot, the owl that roams the night catches the dawn and ate the worm and down it with a cup of coffee before the very first bird leaves the nest.
Very practical relevant and iconic logo for sleepless nights Owl ers

Cool final result! I'm impressed how cleverly you put up this cool owl! Great idea for a logo, I'm a nocturnal artist myself (oh, all that hype that I can get creating at night!) so the owl works perfectly for me as well. How can I join you? Are you on Discord, or should I use your tag or is there some other way to connect? I'd love to show support :) congratulations and all the best, Klaudia

Thanks Klaudia..see you then :))
But Owl cannot see at the day !
hahah..in day light we doing same as others,working or studying.that's the things that we have to put aside in a day..(if you working as an artist is totally different thing cause we have no day and night :))but the night is the time that we have to concentrate the passion as the artist or as hobby in doing art in steemit.Night is a free time i might say.. :) pleased to meet you by the way..
I LOVE this so much! While I can't draw my way out of a paper bag, as a writer I've always seen owls as our creative spirit animals. In fact, my old blog header had an image from a Russian digital artist (here's the link, because it's too awesome to try to describe - https://www.vladstudio.com/wallpaper/?internet_cafe) featuring owls. The fact that you used the logo shape to create the figure makes it all the more WICKED AWESOMESAUCE! Well done!
Thank @traciyork. :) glad you are being a part of it whether writer or artist..creative way to describe of it all is totally an owl. affiliate ourselves with the owl..You know what i mean.. :)pleased to meet you by the way...i certainly will follow you.. i guess im bad in writing too..so,maybe i can learn it something from you :)
You're very welcome, @cartoonistpandan and thank you in return! I'm following you as well. Here's to learning from each other!
see you around then.Thanks. :)
Great reference to Night Owl! Lol Nice pun you have there. It looks really great! Very professional.
Thanks josejirafa..lol..every logo has a meaning..just to make a point :)) really appreiciate it!Thanks. :)
A clever application of graphic design ideals and a nice job evolving an existing corporate identity. Neat!
Thanks @zeroooc. :) First its a bit tough with the idea.After trying and tweak around,the process is simple as it be.Hope it hit the right meaning to the logo. :)
Aye, the message you are trying to convey is clear! You used existing elements to great effect in this one. Cool to see how the meta level is evolving on steemit!
Owls are cool, they seem wise and focused and super fluffy.
you feel me man..thanks! :)
