My goal
Create functional and clean logo for SteemGigs website. I was exploring ways to construct letters S and G and add Steem symbol if possible.
Sketches
2 winning ideas.
Construction
I used basic shapes and lines to construct both symbols. The main work was done while sketching.
Typography
Design 1
Source Sans Pro Black was chosen because of the clean geometric style of Gs. I used black font in caps to match the weight of symbol.
Design 2
Poppins Bold was chosen because of circular shape of "e" and "g" to match circular symbol. Thats why I used minuskuls.
Colors
I started with regular Steem color palette., but I decided to make it a bit more saturated and vibrant. Same colors wehre chosen for both designs.
Layouts and usage on dark background
Perfect size for web
Benefits / Improvements
I was aiming for extreme simplicity. Symbol, created form basic shapes resembles small "g" in first design and capital G combined with straight Steem logo in 2nd design.
Both symbols are paired with modern, geometric typefaces.
Tools
Adobe Illustrator for design, Photoshop for mockups. I designed all mockups myself.

Nice font choices, I like the second one most. I'm sad that I already lost the competition :| lol
I created an issue on their github, you can psot your contribution there too.
Wait what? They chosed the winner already?
Edit: oh nvm, I get it. I think i am already lost too. Lol
I liked with small g.I do not know much about logo designing but I just can make a suggestion, Frankly saying capital G looks oversized. Great Job!!!
Good simple minimal style!
I like all the process that you have done!
First, Sketching on paper than design it in illustrator with the combination of right font and Steem color scheme and then place it on mock-ups.
Your method of explanation is so simple, everyone can easily understands it.
keep it up!
I wanna ask how to participate in logo designing like this? where will I find tasks for logo designing ?
