RE: Round 2, Voting for 2018 Steem Silver Round!

My biggest issue with #1 is "to the moon" is so prominent. Steemit is about community and helping others and not at all about day trading cryptocurrency, and that's where the term comes from. Yes, we want SBD and Steem to increase in value, but the real value is each other. I really like her Line Design work though, but there's portions that look very kindergartener.

#3 has the most potential, and is more in tune with the authenticity of Steemit. It really captures what this is all about in a beautiful portrait of connectivity and growth. However... And this is a big however It's all over the place and really needs to be cleaned up. As they say in my industry, it's a wonderful first concept but we're going to have to take it further and develop it.

Long story short my vote will be for number three.

@gomatthew did you take the time to read my explanation?

I know "to the moon" is a term we use in crypto trading, but that is not my meaning of it in my design.

And yeh hahah I had kindy throwbacks.

I love welshys too. Great choice!

I did, I really liked your breakdown of all the meaning behind everything. I just think to the moon has a negative connotation because of the douchey, crypto bro trading lingo. I love the reference of shooting for the moon and being amongst the Stars, that was very clever. I just feel to the moon has been ruined by the crypto Bros.

I like the phrase ‘to the moon’ even though it has been played more than ‘Stairway to Heaven.’ Lol

Trading cryptos doesn’t make you douchy... being a db does. But whatevs, you do make several other good points.

I trade crypto too .. come at me bro
😤💸

Come at you? For what?
Just callin’ ‘em like i sees ‘em and not calling you anything.
🤘😁

It was a bad joke... You know how dbags say come at me bro??

It was a bad joke ;)

Oh...lol 🤣🤣🤣

Got it!

Same.
And I never new that "to the moon" was a day trading or douchy phrase.

I always have seen it as and took it as:

  • this is a great coin
  • I hope it goes up in price
  • as a Hodler, I hope (look forward to) it going WAY UP over the long term

Can you help clean it up @welshstacker could use some help! :-)

Absolutely.. if he wants the help, I'd be happy to assist.

You have complete carte blanche to go to town on it. Make me a masterpiece @gomatthew

@welshstacker could you scan it in or take some straight on pictures? My email is [email protected].

When Mrs welshstacker gets in from work ill get her to set up her scanner and send it over to you. Thank you

For me, "to the moon" I have taken as:

  • this is a great coin
  • I hope it goes up in price
  • as a Hodler, I hope (look forward to) it going WAY UP over the long term

I am not a big crypto trader. I have barely traded. But to this newbie, it caries no negative connotation.

well.... everything is "to the moon"... it's a pump and dump saying to build hype. Some will moon longterm, most will not.

Love the upside down avatar. Haven't see that! upvote for that alone. ;p
