SECOND LOGO DESIGN CONTEST FOR STEEMMAKERS

Hello everyone and @steemmakers … it’s yet another amazing day, the week is really going smoothly and I hope we are having an amazing week also. Today, I will be showing the processes I took to create this second logo design for SteemMakers as a contribution.
Below are the steps that were taken to create the logo design.

BRIEF OVERVIEW
Ok guys, Before we start, I will like to quickly give a brief overview about this second logo design. I looked at the previous design that I did and I felt I needed to try out new style for the steemmaker logo. This time, I wanted to create a logo that looks simple but effective, so I started thinking out ideas and concepts, then if decided to jump into photoshop and let my creativity run wild.

TOOLS USED

1. Computer (windows PC)
2. Adobe illustrator CC 2015
3. Adobe Photoshop CC 2014
4. Creative thinking

Now to the fun part;

STEP 1
It all started with a sketch on my computer..

STEP 2
Next I created a circle shape and duplicated it to get two perfectly equal circles

STEP 3
Next, I changed the colour of one circle for visual differentiation and placed it how I wanted it

STEP 4
I cut out the shape

STEP 5
Next, I duplicated the cut out shape and flipped one the other direction and brought them close to form an “S” shape

STEP 6
I merged the shapes into one and changed the colour and squeezed it in a little bit

STEP 7
Next, I used the pen tool to create an “M” shape

STEP 8
I then placed the “M” shape where I wanted it

STEP 9
Next, I typed the name “SteemMakers and converted the text to shapes and changed the colour

STEP 10
After creating the logo in illustrator, I brought it over to photoshop to create different background variations

STEP 11
Next, I typed the word “SteemMakers and converted the text to shapes and placed it near the logo in the spot I wanted it to be.

STEP 12
And that is how I created this proposal logo for SteemMakers

OTHER VARIATIONS:

CONCLUSION
This logo design was just pure creativity, there was no rule behind the design, I just wanted to create something that feels clean, elegant and portrays SteemMakers.
