Steem Makers Design and Branding Logo + Banner
My first contribution for the Steem Makers Logo+Banner Project.
Programs used: Photoshop, Illustrator
Step by step explanation
I started in Illustrator.
1 Pick a font. I picked this font, because i wanted to put an elephant in the logo. Why elefant? Because it's a symbol of wysdom and prosperity. As you can see the S forms the trunk and the M forms the body and legs.
2 Create a shape - i picked the circle.
3 I turn off the fill on the SM.
4 Align them.
5 Cut out the SM from the circle using the Pathfinder Menu.
6 I place the new shape as a smart object in photoshop > select the shape > create a mask and apply it to a group.
7 Load some textures in the group and experiment with how they look on the logo.
8 Once you have all this, you can continue experimenting freely - look at my examples.

This logo can be transformed in many different ways, but still stay the same, so it can cover a very wide range of purposes. It can be made minimalistic / hi - tech or anything else you like.
Tell me what you think about it, give me some suggestions.

For the second and third I couldn't find licence. Please remove the first image since it is not free nor creative commons. For future designs I Highly recommend you to look for images that EXPLICIT say they are FREE for personal and commercial use. You can find some at: pexels.com and pixabay.com
I have removed the image in from the post and from the workfiles.
Thank you for the advice, next time I will use pixabay.
