My Submission To Blocktrades Logo Challenge 💥- Round 2

This is my second round submission for the Blocktrades logo challenge held by @officialfuzzy. The challenge is to create an updated logo for Blocktrades that reflects how fast and cutting edge the Blocktrades tool is. For the first round I was fortunate enough to get in first place, but now in round two I have seen a lot more great submissions so it will be interesting to see how the final round unfolds.

My design focus is on the speed and also I wanted to make it look more modern and clean as well as professional. Below are my different designs submissions.
This is an updated version of my previous design. I played with the texture of the Bitshares, Bitcoin and Dollar sign, that originally was completely white. In this design I added some of the circuit board texture into the white.

The texture I believe is very modern looking and reflects the fast speed of using Blocktrades. I also made one other design where I used blue and orange together. As they are opposite colors they give a good contrast



Below is the design which I won round one with. This is still my favorite design because it is more clean.



Below are some pictures of the process and proof of work.









Overall i think the original logo is good, at least conceptually, but everything can always be improved. Hopefully this design can make it look a bit more modern. For you who are not so familiar with Blocktrades you can visit www.blocktrades.us to see the original logo. Further more in you haven't use this website before I strongly recommend it, because it doesn't get more convenient than that!

Please let me know what you think of the designs and more importantly have an awesome day !
