Blocktrades Logo Challenge (Impress @blocktrades!)
Though I love the blocktrades service, I've always personally thought that it deserved a logo that really captures the essence of how cutting edge and fast it is. Of course it is nothing really against the current logo as much as that the crypto space is full of logos that look like they were designed to really appeal to a generation used to images and logos that capture the imagination on a level that is hard to describe. For this reason, it is the goal of this post to Call to Action all Artists to help design new and (potentially improved) Logo Concepts!
Blocktrades logo has been chosen for a Logo Competition!
Of course many platforms offer the capability to pay for others to make a number of logos, but where is the fun in that when there is a platform where I can leverage cryptocurrency and a community of cryptocurrency lovers..?
This is even more true when the people who wish to join in the fun are also people who will accept my own Proto-SMT token, the Beyondbit, in return for their efforts! I look forward to seeing more!

Here is my entry, I made a post about it cause it was going to be kinda long comment.
Here is the link https://steemit.com/blocktrades/@fivefiveeleven/blocktrades-logo-design-contest
And here is a preview
hope you like it and feel free to comment in other to help with a better design.
Great work! I think you have a very good one!
Thanks a lot man, glad you like it :)
This is my submission :)
I decided to focus on the speed of Blocktrades and also I wanted to make it look more modern and clean as well as professional. Below are my different designs submissions.
I didn't want to change much from the original idea of a block and than the main focus being the bitshares logo. Instead I focused more on the proportions and the texture.
The texture I believe is very modern looking and reflects the fast speed of using Blocktrades. I also made one other design as seen below with just normal blue color which I also think looks okay.
Below are some pictures of the process and proof of work.
Overall i think the original logo is good,but it does need an update. Hopefully one of these designs can be a good option :)
How do you like Rhino 3D?
Love at first sight. I have been using it for a few years already so i am very used to its interface. Do you also use Rhino?
No not at all but it looks temping. I just used
Sketch.I really like this...
Keeps to the original design but gives it flare. :)
Thank you very much ! I figured keeping the core of the original design could be good as people are used to it already. Just needed to give it some flare as you say :)
Effin awesome how those
b's are connected!What a cool contest! Blocktrades is a super awesome service and deserves a great logo. I got a lil' excited about this contest-- and already completed a ton of designs.
Keeping the rules in mind, here's only my first three designs:
Number One: This appropriates aspects of the forms in the Bitshares logo, compositing it for the b,o,c,d. Included natural 'block' divisions of the Bitshares logo and the words block and trade. It illustrates movement in a playful way.
Number Two: This is abstracting aspects of the Bitshares logo and adding a wave coming up from the right. This shows movement and the power and volume of the service. Used a modern/retro-styled font to show innovation.
Number Three: This is a simple logo furthering the abstraction of the Bitshares logo as part of the design. It's a partial element as it doesn't need to be fully there for insiders to see the reference. For the new user--they'll see the keystones shapes as a 'blocks' which is integral to the structure. Stability and consistency are important to the cryptocoin domain.
Working artwork screenshot of these first three logo compositions.
Number 1 my favorite!
i like it too from a stylistic perspective. I am looking a bit more for it to keep a similar idea and represent blocktrades service. good work though! you definitely have skills!
Here is my first submission, I wanted them to have something that would be useable everywhere so no 3D just simple a vector graphic that coincides with there original to make the change a little less hard to make.
As you can see the logo matches perfectly with the bit shares logo and could be part of the same branded family.
Here is a "proof of work" screen shot
Comments are welcome, if you hate it or love it, you know what to do.
Thanks Guys!
Hi @officialfuzzy! Thank you so much for the opportunity, here's my entry with both the files and the creative process included.
https://steemit.com/blocktrades/@agsttne/blocktrades-logo-challenge
And here's a preview!
The idea behind my design was to somehow blend the Bitshares logo with the trading service Blocktrades offers and the well-known ups and downs most cryptocurrencies experience, which consequently favors said tradings.
Hope you like it, feedback is always welcomed
Here's mine, a simple logo for @blocktrades
I like this, it's clean and professional looking, but maybe you should add an "s"
It's blocktrades not blocktrade..
(Yeah, I know it's the same comment, just hoping cheetah won't flag me for it...)
Sorry! I forgot "S" /O\ Please don't forget to upvote too :D
A 100% upvote from me is only about 0.01 SBD. You'd probably rather want an upvote from fuzzy or from blocktrades himself..
When looking at all the other designs, it seems they all think that blocktrades is a bitshares thing, or at least it seems to me they use the bitshares logo as a starting point. But from what I've understood, blocktrades is independent and functions as a bridge between crypto-currencies (or even fiat-locked crypto-currencies, like USD Tether and BitEUR).
So yours looks like the most generic logo of them all, which might be good!
Oh well, what do I know? Here's an upvote.
I have one more idea. It will be the last one. Thanks for your comments.
Perfect

Thanks and have a great day!
I tried to be simple and capture blocktrades lightning fast transaction speeds + the process of exchange through the gear like action inside the circle. Hope you like it

Too bad I have zero talent in this but resteemed and watching out for the best entries :)
This is my entry. A full description of the design please see my post. The full size 1000 px square .png is in in my post, or I can send it on request.

Basically I used turned the blocks into diamond shapes and used them to create an illusion of arrow in motion to represent speed. Below is a screen shot, many more in my post if anyone would like to see.
Thanks, I had fun with this.
You have an awesome work done

First of all I would like to thank @officialfuzzy for making this contest, and given the opportunity to participate in preparing the logo for @blocktrades, So a photography artist and graphic designer, I really want to design a logo on this one.
In the design this time I tried to make a box and disampinnya no logo @blocktades, I try to add a little bayngan, because I think this is in accordance with the logo @blocktrades, there is a box and portray the logo, the meaning of the box to save power SBD and power STEEM,

Here is my submission for the Blocktrades logo challenge. I just find out about it today so here is my first design. Thank you to @officialfuzzy to organize this logo challenge. I use 3 programs to make this design one vector program to draw the shapes of the existing logos, one 3D program to create the scene and an animation and compositing program to bring the energy effects. I do have to render the all thing on a grey background as on a white one the energy beam will not render properly (the best was to render it on black). The energy lines represent the speed of the transactions.

Here is my first entry.
Hello @officialfuzzy
This is my third entry.
Hope that you like it.
The 'b' symbolizes "BlockTrades".
I used the bitshares logo to build up the letter 'b'.
However, if you look closely, you will see that the letter 'b' is made up of blocks showing the progression of the bitshares logo forming.
I have created a post to explain the design in more detail
https://steemit.com/art/@apprentice001/my-third-entry-into-the-blocktrades-logo-challenge-by-officialfuzzy
Thanks and have a great day!
You know fuzzy, I was waiting for your official contest for so long!! 😃
My entries
This is my base entry:
And then it's variation:
And another variation:
Explanation:
Here B and T represent blocktrades. Also B has been designed to look like the logo of Bitshares, which was a mandatory condition of this contest. I have used blocks to build B and T, to emphasize on blocks. And then the arrows signify trade between B and T. B and T can also be seen as the blocktrades site and the user, which are exchanging their assets. Since the main logo contains $ and Bitcoin sign, I have used them in the 2 variations of the base entry.
I have used MS-PowerPoint and online pixlr editor to create these logos. Here are some screenshots to prove the originality of my work.
I had some more entries in mind like a B having multiple arms and holding multiple coins or a B juggling many coins, but then didn't work on them as they would have looked very weird. But feel free to use those ideas, if anyone wants to!!!
Thanking You

I would love to join but my artistic talents are not worth mentioning.
Only one way to improve them!
Wow! I wish I had a single artistic bone in my body so I could try my hand at this! Blocktrades would be amazing to get to design for! Such a big Honor it would be to design something that was chosen!
Love the idea. Maybe I'll doodle something just in case no one else else enters. Haha
Yes! Why not try!? :)
Very interesting, i will join 😀
Ok, I'm in, lets see what I can do!
