Image sourceWe are working on some major changes at Alldutch Creations !
You probably have noticed our weekly recap did not appear last week, we decided to stop posting the recap every week. But instead we will be focussing on challenging you with creative things. This can be a simple question from where you are challenged to show us your creativity, but it can also be a writing contest like Writing-Wednesday...
Instead of summarizing the posts we love the most, we will be voting on the posts and resteeming a few a day. You can follow our curation trail at steemauto! With the new ideas we will bring to you, there needs to be a major change, because our logo was just temporary, and now it's time for our own creative style in our posts!
Some extra information about Alldutch Creations for those new to us
We are part of the @alldutch community that connects Dutch speaking members on Steemit. Not only those from Holland, but also Belgium and other countries. We have a very active discord server where we can chat, promote our posts, pitch our new ideas for the community etc. A while ago Alldutch Creations was born as a spin-off to focus on the talented members in the community that bring arts, photography, music (you name it!) to our community and Steemit.
We started of with a weekly recap but we feel that summarizing these posts is not what we want, we want to bring more to the members, and we want to highlight them even better. So therefore we will focus on new projects, that we will be testing. If we feel it's a success we will continue (not necessarily weekly by the way!) and if we feel it's not we will park the idea somewhere for now. Writing-Wednesday will continue, but since this week we will bring it in Dutch & English, to get more exposure!
Now to the important part, our new logo !
We are looking for the perfect logo, to capture our idea of creativity. For this contest we will not be picking the winner after a week if the perfect logo is not submitted. It has to feel good. So keep in mind that the deadline may be extended after a week. But we hope that we can announce after this posts payout that we have a winner, because we are so excited to start with our new challenges.. This would be ideal to start with our new recognizable logo and some dividers for our posts. The contest is actually about providing us a new logo & dividers to use in our posts. Of course they have to match. It would be best if you present the logo to us first, and wait for our feedback on the post, to work from there designing a divider. We don't want you to put in all the effort making dividers to a logo we aren't feeling as a potential winner. But when we see potential we would love to see the dividers you come up with too, because sometimes you need to see all together to feel if the new designs are winners....
What we want
We want you to challenge yourself in this, but we will give you guidelines too. We are part of Alldutch, where we have a Dutch and Belgium community being active BUT we don't want our logo to be the colours of these countries like the @alldutch logo is. That logo is perfect for Alldutch, and matches the style and they are very recognizable. But we are focussing on creativity, and with creativity comes colours and playful lines instead of rectangles. Take a look at the other creative communities on Steemit, to see what they are having as a logo. We want it to be artistic..
The dividers should be delicate, and with a transparent background for the use of night mode. We hope we can challenge you enough to find your own ideas for this, if we feel that you need more directions, we will post an update in the next coming days.
A little extra information about our name Alldutch Creations and the account name with a missing s at the end @alldutchcreation ... We already had chosen this name before we got this dedicated account. And then we found out we had to cut one letter.. So therefore our account name is @alldutchcreation but the project's name is still Alldutch Creations.. the tag used is also #alldutchcreations ... Thanks for pointing this out @hatsekidee because the Dutch community knows this already, but didn't realize that others don't know this story..
Preferably you make the design with both these options: Alldutch Creations & Alldutchcreations to see what looks better...
What's in it for you?
If you design our perfect logo only (and for some reason not the dividers because you didn't make them or we didn't feel like those are the winners) we will give you 3 SBD and 3 SBI (Steembasicincome) shares.
We add another 2 SBD to this if you also provide us the perfect dividers. Then you will receive 5 SBD and 3 SBI shares.
And of course you will get eternal fame from us in the community .. we will keep an eye on your other posts, and where we can we will resteem and upvote them. The prizes for this contest are sponsored by @anouk.nox
After choosing a winner, the winner has to let us know that he/she gives up the rights for the logo / divider so we can use this freely in our posts.
Deadline is flexible
As we already said above, the deadline is flexible, but the sooner we get this new logo and divider, the better. We are aiming to have those after a week, so we will make the temporary deadline: Saturday 26th May 23.59 (CEST)
If we somehow don't feel we have a winner yet, this may be extended by announcements in our next posts.
Please work on our logo first, make a post of it, or show it below in the comments (make sure it has a transparent background!) and see what our respond it to work on further details / a divider.
May the best designer win! We are really looking forward to your submissions....
Please don't forget to use the #alldutchcreation tag for your post combined with #logo-contest
