@bengy is one of the most active members of Steemit that I have met in terms of the numbers of Discord groups that we are both involved in.
I have been the beneficiary of many of his interesting and kind gestures on Steemit... there's his Steam Key giveaway (which I have won twice previously): @bengy/steam-key-giveaway-saint-s-row-iv
He has an interesting idioms challenge which is also helping him with learning Dutch (which I have collected some SBDs from before): @bengy/idioms-game-with-sbd-prizes-number-5
And his classical music curation which I have not participated in mainly due to my lack of a decent musical knowledge/education: @bengy/classical-music-curation-number-5-with-a-1-sbd-prize-quiz
He is also an active participate in the Information Finding Championship and I really like the enthusiasm and energy he brings to everything that he does on Steemit. Did I mention that he used to be a scientist (like me) as well? Lucky that @steemstem is on a break at the moment otherwise I am sure he'll find time for that as well.
So when @bengy put out a call for some logo designs for the 'Dischord' group that he has been running with @tin-tin, I jumped at the opportunity to give him something to work with despite my obvious lack of design talent :p
Concept 1
I usually associate classical music with something that is simple and elegant (the pieces I can play anyway), so I started with a simple combination of musical symbols for 'C' and 'M' using the staff as the background. But it did look a bit bland and nothing related to Steem so I moved onto the next design
Concept 2
I couldn't really think of how to incorporate the steemit symbol with a music symbol, and the closest I can think of is the demisemiquavers. But it still looked a little bit too boring somehow.
Concept 3
I combined the elements from the first two concepts and come up with this third one, using the staff to form the outline and main part of the background, then modifying the Steemit symbol to form the musical notes. I had a bit of trouble trying to match the colours of the colours but will fix this up a bit later.
So which concept do you think is the one that I should work on further? How do you think the logo can be improved? Or there any other ideas that I should explore?
