Proudly Presenting My New Surf Brand - Announcing Steemit's Design Contest WinnersπŸ₯‡πŸ₯ˆ

Perhaps it is impossible to wear an identity without becoming what you pretent to be. - Orson Scott Card

We are our identity, Orson. Nobody can teach me who I am.

When it comes to brand awareness there are few things that are most important than identity.

If you want people to remember what you do, then you need to create recognition value.

That's why I decided on running a logo contest and asked Steemit's Graphic Designers to create a new identity for my blog.

I'm stoked to present my new surf brand today!!!🌊🌊🌊

Be yourself - everybody else is already taken!

Dr. Seuss said once

There is no one alive who is youer than you.

Nicely said.

When I called for Graphic Designers on Steemit in order to find the "perfect match", I was looking for a design that was 100% me.

I wanted to create a brand identity which was strong enough to become the icon of my blog, a badge that represented the brand and the relationship between author and audience.

Branding is about making an emotional connection.

That's what happened to me when I looked at one of the submissions.

I talked to my friends and family, showed them the wonderful creations that were submitted last week and asked them for their opinions.

They all pointed on the same logo saying "that's you". They were right.

So I finally found my brand identity which will represent all my doings in the social media world from now on.

I have a lot of plans for the future, and it's good to know that - having this logo now - I already possess one of the most important key pieces for that journey.

There were many amazing entries, and it was really hard to decide. But there was one submission that really got me! Congratulations @sjennon, and thank you for your outstanding contribution! I love my new logo.

The winning logo! Thank you @sjennon

As promised the winning logo receives 200 SBD which have been transferred to @sjennon's account a couple of minutes ago.

Furthermore, the submission from @enazwahsdarb was the one that received the highest number of upvotes in the announcement post, so he's the lucky winner of 50 SBD which has been sent to his account, too.

The community winner! Thank you @enazwahsdarb

Enjoy spending all that money, hehe πŸ’°πŸ’°πŸ’°

A big THANK YOU to all the other participants that have spent their valuable time on creating amazing stuff. It was really hard to decide and I appreciate all your great efforts!!!

The whole contest generated a lot of value within Steemit's network. Many people were given high upvotes on their submissions and nice rewards for their own posts related with the competition.

I think these kind of contests should take place much more often on Steemit.

Under the powerful umbrella of @steemgigs we're able to create a completely new service providing platform with unlimited fields of activity.

I'm really looking forward to it!

Have a great Monday, steemians! Just in case you're not having a nice day, remember the following:

The sun is gonna rise again.

Promised!

PS: By the way there is a funny anecdote to tell regarding the trophy money.

On Thursday the tickets for Steemfest started to be on sale. So I wanted to be one of the first ones in having one, and without thinking I got to my Steemit wallet, transferred the money to the Steemfest account and was the happiest girl alive. 5 minutes later I cursed! Oh nooooo, I had spent all my liquid cash for the ticket and there wasn't any money left for the winners... Damn it! OK, so I needed to power up though. I luckily found a national trading partner on localbitcoins.com who was willing to sell me some BTC for EUR. But then my online banking failed! Murphey's Law!!! I needed to drive to my bank's branch office in order to excecute the transfer there. I had 20 minutes until the trade was cancelled on the platform. I made it!!! I was sweating like hell but happy to have the money for the winning steemians though πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒSo it's all good now...
