bHIVE: Logo Take 3 - Final Challenge!

bhivePosted for Everyone to comment on, 5 years ago5 min read

First of all let me apologize for taking so long to respond to the last contest. I had the post almost done and my browser crashed and I lost everything. It was so frustrating that I have just put it off until now.

So although I think folks are starting to understand the 'minimal' concept, that doesn't mean just fancy fonts of the work bHIVE. That's not what I'm looking for. I do want to hand out a few honorable mentions.

Once again a shout out to @emekasegun, both of his entries caught my eye. First, his use of a "bitshares" style b, which is brilliant since the bHIVE is a bitshares UIA. In his second entry he gets the skep (bee hive) shape in his B, which was also picked up by funkit in the first round. Unfortunately I think it is a bit too obscure to be picked up by a non-beekeeper.


@podanrj also tried to incorporate some 'bee' parts into his logo with the inclusion of an antennae and stinger in his 'b'. Although I can see it, I'm not sure the non-beekeeper will pick up on it. Nevertheless, another good attempt.


And finally @ijmmai who attempted to interleave the letters in a creative way. He attempted a similar idea in the previous contest when he spelled out the word using the cell walls of the honey comb.











These 3 will be rewarded 50 bHIVE tokens for their effort. All other entries received a 5% reward on their comment.

🐝 Why are you so fussy?

The short answer is this logo will represent my Whaletoken and I want it to be great. Nothing has jumped out at me yet and said "I'm the one!"

🐝 Take 3 with some new guidelines

All the same rules apply this time, but I'm going to supply a few guidelines.

  1. Logo should contain only the following (1 or more) - The letter 'b', a bee, honeycomb, or skep
  2. No text-only logos
  3. Logo can contain the text bHIVE.
  4. Still keep minimalist design and limited colors in mind

🐝 Example Logos

Here are a few logos for inspiration, please don't copy or modify these, use your own imagination.


🐝 What about colors?

Part of being minimalist includes limited colors as well. Most have just two, but with the right design 3 or 4 may not be unreasonable. I will say my favorite color is gray (really?), so grayscale would be great. But also l can see a golden yellow, or orange adding a 'pop' in certain designs.

🐝 Logo theme?

In case there is any doubt, it needs to beekeeping related and be easily recognizable as representing the bHIVE whaletoken.

🐝 Rules!

Entries that do not follow these guidelines will not be eligible for reward.

  1. Create a concept drawing of a logo for bHIVE whaletoken. Concept can be on any medium as long as it is easily visible.

  2. Submit entries below, along with your bitshares account name.

  3. Maximum of 3 entries per person.

  4. Contest ends on Friday, October 19th at 12PM (noon) EST

🐝 What are bHIVE?

bHIVE are cross-chain tokens that are backed by the @bhive account. These tokens provide holders the ability to reward and share their post from the @bhive account. The @bhive account stake will continue to grow with a portion of the earnings from the @bushkill-witness witness. bHIVE tokens are meant to be earned by participating in contests, curation shows and other community building activities. Although bHIVE tokens trade on the Bitshares DEX it is not meant as an investment token and no value is guaranteed.

If you do not have a Bitshares account you can get one here.


💰 What are WhaleTokens and how do I use them?

I have set up whaleshares.info as your one stop place for all the information you need. Not only does it give step by step instructions on how to use WhaleTokens, but it also list all the official WhaleTokens and their information. So be sure to check it out. As new WhaleTokens come online, they will be added to the site.
