Steemsugars Design Entry: The Steemsugars Starfish
I seem to have a thing for bright designs lately.
This fun, ocean-themed logo is an entry for @meanmommy33's Steemsugars Logo Design Contest.
I'm glad I managed to get this done before the deadline. It's been on my to-do list all week!
Steemsugars Design Ideas
To me, Steemsugars is a vibrant community that is supportive, specifically created to help bring women to Steemit and help them (us) succeed there. But I didn't want a design that was "too feminine," as we have men in Steemsugars as well. So I went for a feeling of community.
This one is my favourite design, which its happy family of sea creatures.
The process
I started out with just a star, some text, and no idea where I was going, other than I wanted it to be fun and visually appealing.
Then I headed into the clipart/illustration area in Gravitas, and looked to see what I could find. Played with colours and placement a lot, and ended up with this.
But I didn't stop there. Moved the critters around a bit, and figured I'd join the two "S"s, since Steemsugars is supposed to be a single word, after all, and ended up with the logo at the top.
The finished design:
Okay, I just tweaked it some more.
And more tweaking, playing with colour and such. Here's my final design (besides the one at the top). Hope you like it!
Update: I did another one.
Here's a slightly more simple design. I like the stingray flying up there.
So, of course, now ^^^ this one is my favourite. lol!
I'd be happy to hear feedback, if you have any.
Thanks for reading! Take care of yourself. You are a gift!
Peace. @katrina-ariel

I looooove it!!!! (I love the ocean so anything that reminds me of it is beautiful😄)
Colors are great and vibrant and its cute and lively👍🤗
Thanks so much! I'm so glad you love it. I'm pretty happy with it, but if it makes other people smile, that's the best. :)
You are a talented lady @katrina-Ariel. I like your design and how the starfish is blue for the ocean. S’s entwined adds special touch. I was wondering the role of each of the sea creatures to your SteemSugars.
Thanks, @redheadpei! I'm so glad you like it. I didn't actually think deep enough to give each creature a special significance, just grouped them together as a little family. Each of us can think of them what we will. :)
It looks really nice. I like the one with the sting ray on the bottom. How long did you take to create these?
Thank you! How long? Um... I guess I played with it for a couple hours...
This is so cute! I like the simplicity of the second logo.
Thank you very much! Yes, simple is good. I tend to go overboard sometimes. lol!
Thanks for that girl !
And the description of how you did it, awesome !
Less than a day to go :)
Resteemed!
