The community has spoken and we have a change of plans, folks!
Let's Simplify
🦐🐟🐬🐳
No More mVEST Limit or "rounds"
Instead of overcomplicating things, which is what a few friends brough to my attention, I've tried to simply this. The original plan was to have 3 rounds, but we are changing things up.
I intended to giveaway 50 icons in round 1, but only had 25 comments
So, as an 'added bonus' to those who participated in this, I am reducing the total number. Instead of 100, I will now offer a total of 50. WITH A TWIST!
What's the TWIST?
FIRST 25 PEOPLE TO COMMENT GET A CUSTOM ICON WITH THEIR USERNAME ON IT
THEN THINGS CHANGE AFTER THE 25 ARE DONE:
You can still 'earn' one IF YOU RESTEEM THIS POST AND COMMENT "RESTEEMED" hopefully with more than just that, but I'll take it. And don't lie - I will verify. SYNERGY is the key to success, so if it's an icon you want - then let's synergize! Or you can "incentivize" (aka Pay me!)
THE RESTEEM BUTTON is a powerful tool - USE IT MORE!
Here are the choices for the icons:
COMMENT BELOW WITH YOUR CHOICE OF THE FOLLOWING:
Just Comment With The # You Want & I Will Reply With Your Icon
The icon will be yours to use as you wish and you may right-click it to SAVE. Icons will be transparent PNG graphics / like a virtual sticker that you may apply to your own photos or media as you'd like.
No upvote is required and you don't have to follow me to participate. If you like what I'm doing you may support this #giveaway with an UPVOTE and/or RESTEEM.
The minnows of today are the whales of tomorrow...
Here was ROUND 1:

up voted and resteemed brother! Amazing my friend!
@stillwater You already know I am high-fiving you through this screen, right? 😄
You let me know which of these you like and if you don't tell me, I'm sending you all of them..LOL
Haha! High five back brother! You surprise me if you must! I'll leave the art to the artist. Just out of curiosity how much will you be charging for these later? They really look good. You are a creative one says I :)
Wow, I cannot believe I am just seeing this! Very creative and flashy way to promote steemit on other social media platforms. It is a hard choice between 4 and 5.
Good luck choosing now, @superdavey 😉
Guess that’s a good problem to have! Thanks!!
It sure is a good problem to have..haha I appreciate you stopping by and I hope you put those icons to use. No thanks necessary @superdavey.
It is my pleasure, sir!
Honestly, I like #4 the best and would love to have it, @grow-pro, if I can. Resteemed and upvoted.
Powerful thing you have done @nexusvortex777... Not only earned a follower (and I am not one of those lame follow you, then unfollow type!), but also I'd be happy to change/alter the color to one that you might rather prefer. ex:
I really appreciate the new follow! It means a great deal to me to make new friends on the site and I would love any of the colors, I'm not hard to please at all, truthfully -whatever is easiest for you. =) Thank you for your time and effort! You are appreciated!
FOR THE RESTEEM, @nexusvortex77:
Small Versions (150x150px):
Full-Size (630x630px)
You've got options now! Thanks again for the support!!
Thanks so much! You're awesome!! <3
Resteems are indeed very powerful. It is a shame that people do not use them more often. Then people would see other quality people more easily. I do not need a graphic for this initiative, but...
The bot we were talking about was born today. We'll need a graphic or two for it, and I'll gladly pay you for your time. We can discuss it tonight or this weekend on Discord?
P.S. I am definitely going to have two blow out kit winners, and one will win by a resteem. Whoever resteems to the most people gets a kit. That will help get the resteems going hopefully!
You know I always look forward to your projects, @finnian! I'll be at my desk this evening and weekend working on the other project(s) we have, so hit me on discord anytime, brother!
The POST that I resteemed the other day by @jackmiller, is a grassroots movement and you know how I love me some grassroots..haha I think this is a really great way for all of us to really start suppressing the spam posts and nonsense and really start getting support for those who create worthwhile content. I realize quality is subjective, but I think great writers, artists, creators of steemit can agree that some effort is required to produce quality work.
The RESTEEM is a powerful feature and I don't think people understand that yet. Let me know how I can help with the contest! I can show everyone how kickass mine is that you sent and then they'll want one 😉
Think about this (not you since you know, Finnian, but anyone reading):
If you find a post in the feed that just dropped - you read it and find it worthy of an upvote - IF you resteem that post and more people vote on it = the author gets greater rewards for creating good content, you (reader) earn greater curation rewards, and your followers potentially find another quality creator.. THAT IS WIN-WIN-WIN for everybody
is there a post I can read about why resteems are so important and their benefits? I always considered them a bit of a nuisance to be honest that clogged up the feed. Excuse my newbie ignorance.
Resteeming quality posts of another author is the greatest advantage we have on Steemit to enhance the view of content otherwise lost in the feed. Many people find other quality creators via resteems. I'd venture to say more than 75% of my following has come from 3 people resteeming my posts (high-fives @finnian). To be honest, it is probably more like 90%. It is hard to get traction here, especially when everyone is competing for the same reader base. When we help each other, that attracts other people and encourages them to help other people..that's what keeps this community going - sharing knowledge, information, and services is how this blockchain stays running.
That button is, in my humble opinion, the most powerful tool we have. The feed will be clogged with junk regardless if you resteem a post or two a day @nathen007, so I say why not! Of course, you must consider why your followers are following you and what they expect - courtesy goes a long way - do not blast your feed with resteemed posts that are generally not relevant to topics you share about..and if you do - simply share why and many will understand ;)
Read @jackmiller's post that sums it up beautifully:
https://steemit.com/grassroots/@jackmiller/the-resteem-and-upvote-movement-a-grassroots-movement
I never thought about resteems holding that much value until recently, so I have decided to use the option more often. I really like the new projects that I'm seeing in my feed lately and encourage those who are active on the site to continue to create great content.
I like #5, if there are any left!
Great project, 100% UV in support.
Thanks, @Aunt-Deb!!! You know I am here to anytime you need me
Least I can do is help the pillars of this place (you!) and the homestead community! I have some more wild ideas especially for my garden-minded friends coming very soon..
Number 5 it is! And a little extra love for you, too! Thanks for the RESTEEM as well as your support.
I call this the "Aunt-Deb Special"
You know @grow-pro always has you covered @aunt-deb 😉
Have a great weekend & 2018 at that!
Awww, that's so sweet of you and love the 'special'!! I'll use that one on the pet-sit posts and the other fits nicely with the gardening theme!
😉 anytime! I have some garden-themed goodies coming soon for my fellow Steemit-gardeners & homesteaders. I'll certainly keep you in mind when I start to roll that out! Plenty more where this came from.
Thanks again for all that you do!!
Awesome work @grow-pro! I'm loving all the personalizations - spot on!
I've got one incorporated into my new 'line-up'. Fits right into the theme. Credits are at the close of each post!
Awesome! I'll get this put on https://steemfreelancers.com in just a bit!
Great! I will be dropping the first 'real' steemgigs service with full details next week, but figured I had to get something up - reworked this giveaway to fit ;)
Much thanks @thatsweeneyguy, will be dropping some goodies to you on discord this weekend
✌️😎
I would love to have a #5 - that design is new, isn't it?
Sure is @howtosteem! Nice & fresh... But it doesn't stop there - if you can dream it, we can steem it!
Here is yours, enjoy! If you come up with any crazy design ideas you want to try, you know where to go 😉
Thanks, this is great!
Looks awesome! I'd love to have #3
No. 3 on me @boatsports90
Won't count towards your 10 if you decide to roll with that offer. Also, I will extend the same courtesy for you as I did for @nexusvortex777 - a simple RESTEEM and I'll make 3 on me - one of each color and each in 2 sizes - colors & designs of your choice of the 5
Awesome, thank you sir! And just resteemed
You are getting the full hook-up for that @boatsports90. Hit me in Discord when you're ready, bud!
Just for being awesome and thanks for the RESTEEM
I missed these earlier, so sweet! Thank you!
The more I look at them, the more I want all of them to mix it up, haha. How many sbd would you want for 1 of each?
How about 3 sbd for all 5? Since this is not officially a steemgig until the giveaway ends and you are too awesome for even asking..
I'll alter the color of any/all of the 5 as you wish. So you can get all 5 and two color variations of each = 10 icons.
I have several more designs that I have made as well and if you can dream it - we can steem it! If you like a specific font/type - we can change that too.
There really is no limit.
Deal! I went ahead and sent 4 sbd, an extra to show my appreciation. I am digging this one too, it'd be cool if you had that, then fade into upvote, follow, resteem or something of that nature.
I will eventually get to you on all of the colors, it sounds like I have a lot to decide, haha. Do you want me to comment on this post what colors or do you have discord/would that be easier?
Awesome @boatsports90, I am back at my desk and you can hit me on Discord:: grow-pro#2163. I will be within earshot for much of the afternoon/evening (EST time here ;)
Sounds good man! I'm busy this evening but will find you on discord tomorrow. Ahh, always nice to have someone else EST time, haha.
Yeah man, no worries! I'll be nearby - right up in MD, so just put out the bat-signal..haha We'll get you hooked up, brother. Enjoy your weekend
Here are some basic colors that I have created, but if you can give me an example of any color you like - I can match it.
Thank you, may I have a number 2 please ? :-)
Thank you @nathen007, enjoy!
I am happy to help with your creative enhancements anytime! You're extra awesome for being first, so let me know if you like another one - it's on the house 😎
thank you so much! I'm just learning to use Gimp to get pictures to the right pixel size for my posts so in future I know where to come. I'll spread the word and thanks for the offer of another, but I dont need one right now! small steps for me.
Thanks again, have a great weekend :-)
My pleasure, @nathen007. Have a great weekend and STEEM ON!
Can i have no.3 please
No problem @rharphelle, enjoy it!

Wow I have been checking quite a lot for your answer my friend. You have been amazing. I have to beg you but please write a comment on my last post so I can write a poem for you. I feel inspired now after seeing your great work my friend :) Thank you for your generosity making so many variations. I am flattered. I wanted to ask you one other thing. I am in need of a design a logo for the new Steemit Poets United Community I have founded... If you can help I would greatly appreciate it. Will consider some donation as well as there is no free lunch. So if you're interested please contact me :) Thank you once again for the great designs I love them. God Bless You. Peace and Love.
Thank you for the kinds words and the consideration, @angelveselinov. I think I have seen you on Discord, correct? We can chat there, here's the art and discussion room on PAL/MSP https://discord.gg/vZs7U9r - or you can DM. I would be glad to help get a logo for your community. Thank you again for the consideration. Chat soon!

No. 2 for you @vasil-danev! Here is both lowercase and CAPS:
Thank you for participating, Enjoy!
Hey!! I would like to have number 4 but in another colour if thats possible :) thank you so much!
No problem! Get them on me while they last @sv1rby!
Here's a few to choose from - use them all if you like!
This is a great idea! I like number 4, but man, it is a hard choice. I'm not sure if i am too late, but ill resteem it🙃
Thank you @freedompoint! Just trying to spread a little love around!
You have one awesome footer graphic and I want to ask you - did you do that yourself? Didn't think that question was relevant in your chimney sweep post, so I bit my tongue..haha I love that animation though, I swear I might have watched it a few dozen cycles. I'd love to know who made it! We could team up and take over the worldwide webs..haha
Here's a little extra thanks for the resteem, brother! It's the golden button here on steemit.. 😉
I.
II.
III.
and just because I have no self-control when it comes to design works...
Those are amazing! Thank you very much! No, I did not create the footer graphic, it was made by @orel.mely ,
So these are "badges"... okay, now I'm with you LOL.
pick a number or any of them you like and a few colors - I got ya covered @millennia. I dropped your #libertyprofessionals badge in discord. I appreciate the support!
I love the green one you made for mother2chicks with the dark edges!! And maybe a pinkish one for girly things? You're awesome @grow-pro! Thank you for your support!
Its really hard to decide between 1, 3 or 5, so....suprise me? Also, resteemed and upvoted!!!
You just made it @armadillocreek!!
Trying to give these last few a little extra kick! I try to design each one a little different and when I find new ways to enhance our visual experience...so.... I have something for you to try for me! This is a little something I have up my sleeve for night mode
You can save these and turn them into black and white variations with any smartphone or image editor! They're all yours - they have your name on them! 😉 Thanks for droppin by!!
Wow thanks a million!
This is a great promo, and I'm happy to support with a vote and a resteem. Personally, I like the look of #1 and #3. Maybe #3 with that iridescent #1 glow?
I really can't say thanks enough for always being nearby when I need support @olyup!!
You are one of the best supporters and just about from the start. Can't thank you enough. I love your footer icon so I hope you don't mind me working that in!
And I couldn't help myself.. I hope you like them (you can also adjust the coloration of the animation and graphics by using "Hue/Saturation" tool in most image editors! You have been one of the few that supported me all the way. Thanks for that! I have lots of surprises coming.. Here is a little love for you and it gives me an opportunity to /flex (hahaha borrowed that 1 from @finnian)
Your continuous hard work and dedication to helping other people is more than inspiring to me bro! @grow-pro thank you for being such an inspirational and supportive role model! I am more than proud to resteem this! I really like #1 if you're able to make a copy for me!
You know big bro @grow-pro has your back, @justintimearnold
