Hello and good day steemians!

Let me show you my entry for the contest hosted by @sndbox. I saw this contest two days ago, and decided to participate even if I'm not a pro in making a digital logo. If you are interested to join in this contest, please check the link here. I would like to express my gratitude for creating this contest, It's my first digital logo entry and hope it goes well. In this entry, I used Photoshop cc and chose a futuristic design with the subject logo which is the "Bitcoin image" where you can dowload in a given example of the contest. So let's get started for the process.

Before we start, here's the result of my own version of crypto logo art challenge
