Wow, I really like this type of graphic design! It's so clean and simple, keep it up!

I think the symbol should change depending on the network, its blue now but it should get green, then yellow, orange and red when the network or steemit website "heats" up.

4th logo is pleasant and catchy to eye

Looks good. :0

This is some good work. They are all good. I am a fan of the last one that is in the lower right the most. If I was to choose the next one it would be the one to the left of that. For me I prefer darker backgrounds and that one looks good.

Thanks for the work.

If you could post each logo (options) as separate comments here, we can just vote the ones we like. =D and comment right under it further if have specific remarks. or is that not a good way of using the comment-vote mechanic?

These are really great Personally I like #1 its nice and simple but whichever is chosen is great. Thanks for all the designs!!

The large one, fresh and simple. Nice job.

Love it! I'm most into the top left one. The lighter blue background feels more youthful (and less corporate).

I also tried creating a quick animated version of the symbol built in SVG & CSS. https://steemit.com/css/@pkattera/a-concept-logo-animation-for-steemit

The motion reflects the dynamic community, uplifted by rising steam.

good job

Crazy reward for such few votes. The whales must dig these designs!

...And i do too! Nice job, dude.

Thank you, that is an interesting suggestion, I will get started on that. Unless someone comes up with a good reason not to, I will go ahead and do it.

Of the inverse versions, I like the middle one in the top row.

I like the 4th one the most, but they're all pretty to look at! :) Well done on the design, they look really smooth :) I made a retouch on the Steemit logo if you want to check it out :))

thank you for share, i personally would select the one with white background i like the contrast

try to decrease the size of the inner icon a bit more .. just slighty would do a trick IMO

Next time we better mint it in either silver and gold.

I like the idea. Initially it was abit smaller like you suggest, but I increased the size slightly... I will first see which colour palette the community prefers, then proceed to try and perfect the design.

I like this one the most. (｡◕‿◕｡)

Nice to see someone else is also working on a STEEM coin design.

I did a similar post a few days ago, and will place some updated versions soon of the coins I have designed:

Raising the PR impact of Steemit; by designing a Steem and Steem Dollar Coin.

Hope to get some more support on this part! @ned is steemit making efforts to make their own design or is this something the community may take te lead on?

https://i.imgsafe.org/facdd0c399.png

I like it

Really loved all the designs. But the second one is the best in my opinion.

It would be nice to see how an imaginary paper note of Steem would look like! :D Could you do that too?

Great job. Also can you see my works:

That was so fun to read!

Yay! I see it actually picked up quite well. Nice job! =)

I really like the "mineral" look of it with the STEEMIT design... though I wouldn't make the actual blue colours translucent and would definitely add up the little designs on the side and on the tridimensional thickness side as well, just like the post by @mauricemikkers up above. Thanks for the work and sharing, namaste :)

Yes! This is exactly what I was thinking. It'll look classier then. Also, try reduce the border width.

Nice! Clean and elegant. My favorite thus far.

This look super sharp and LOVE the choice of color for it too, though it doesn't have the blue colours of the original design on it, it works for me! Namaste :)

My favourite

[STEEMIT]

https://i.imgsafe.org/fc34d3b2ef.png

Thanks curently working on some finalisations of this one and on some other designs. After that I will move up to designing a Steem Dollar coin.

I like the ones on the bottom row. The first one in line is my favorite.

Steem Maning = :)
STEEM Coin Symbol will publish later!

Great work! I would prefer little more depth to it, like 3D feel.

This one looks good too.

Good job.

This one standout better.

what about those:

Great idea. You are truly a genius!

i prefer the logo as it is. the circle around it does't look right. best without

killer!

It's gotta be this surely. It's consistent with the website logo.

AMAZING POST!!!

I'm going to make a few Steemit shirts using these logos for www.CryptosCloset.com - Your #1 Crypto Apparel Boutique - I own this site and I'm willing to accept Steem for Crypto Apparel with these designs and more.

Do I have consent to use these images?

Thank you!

Great job! I'm using this one!

Hi Spectral! do you mind if I use this design in one of my posts?
I shall credit you of course!

Please do! The designs belong to the STEEM-community.

Note that it may be prudent to wait for the final design.

True that, what I intend to use it for may be...big lol

What time does the voting end?

First one from the left
Reason plain & simple

Not sure, but there may be some more feedback to bake into the design, like logo size and border thickness (see new comments)

http://i.imgsafe.org/050dc62344.png

http://i.imgsafe.org/050dcf0bfc.png

I've made a few posts but this is fantastic. Well done. I wan to see the $ in posts replaced with your coin.... Just fantastic.

Could you do some CryptosCloset.com style ones? How much would you charge?

Stirling work Spectral!

I might have missed this in the comments below but is it available as a transparent PNG file for promotional use elsewhere? I'd love to see the three stripes transparent so I can drop it on my WordPress site. Let me know if that's ok.

Well done!

OK, happy to trade some STEEM for one of these beauties. Beautiful.

Masterpiece of geting votes :D nice upvote

what means water?

The colors of the logo are obviously different but there's something about this that just works. It looks solid which is good for a coin metaphor.

you need to add the letter S, like Superman :))

Thank you! Now I can do some things for myself with steem logo. And also (based on comments), I had an idea and I'll think about it.

Good job man! :))

In the ancient China ，this shape means flow.

We don't necessarily have to stick to 1, each one could be a symbol of how much Steem it is such as 5, 10, 20, 50 dollar notes.
One image could represent 100 steem while another could represent 1000. Maybe this idea seems a little redundant but I'm sure people would find a use for it.

Simple is the best.

my concept

I choose this one. Bold colour for BOLD spirit

make sure everyone participates in the first steemit lottery

https://steemit.com/money/@nabilov/the-first-steem-lottery-hosted-by-member-nabilov#comments

My favourite too. It stands out the best and is instantly identifiable as the Steemit logo. not that the others aren't, but it's the colour scheme that makes it the standout for me.

nice concept!

Thanks I'm currently working again no the design's - hope to have more time tomorrow and this weekend to share the results.

Do you mean something like this? I would still wait for the final design, and I can apply the same variation to that.

http://i.imgsafe.org/0b989842d1.png

I Really like the square concept!
https://i.imgur.com/WMfkfdC.jpg

https://i.imgur.com/d0U513Q.jpg

I just noticed the Steem symbol looks likes three 'tilde' characters on an angle. Could we use this character to represent Steem dollars?
~100

Hey @spectral, nice work. It's awesome to see people engaged. I made some tweaks to it, tell me what you think about this:

Looks good ... when next to BC ... I like the simplicity, but should be a little more eye catchy when presented alone.

https://i.imgsafe.org/0d67f8325a.png

Simplicity wins and it's the closest one to the logo.

Similar to SP, SMD tokens cannot be purchased directly on an external exchange. SMD are primarily earned through contributing but can be purchased by converting STEEM tokens to SMD tokens.

Actually Steem Dollars can now purchased on external exchanges !
https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_sbd
https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-SBD

PS Abbreviation of SBD = Steem Backed Dollars
or just SD = Steem Dollars (not SMD please edit)

I want real.

so the steemit logo with a circle around it ^_^

thanks @spectral, i already used some of the symbols in my concept art: https://steemit.com/steemit/@yonuts/extending-steem-and-steemit-into-the-real-world

Nice work! I've made a POLL using your logo called What is your favorite crypto-currency?

Nice one!

I like this one, it's simple and clean.

Great job! Needs more cowbell though...

I like the light versions most. Think the white could symbolise transparency....then we would really be in the future.....semi transparent coins.
I do motion graphics, vfx and design work so I'm always interested in design and creative work. Looking forward to seeing what else you come up with.
I just started posting as of last night...and did a video for Steemit which I thought you might enjoy.
