Brand New Logo, New Font!


Today we are excited to announce our new logo and our very first video animation competition! To celebrate the launch of our channel and bring a new dimension to creative production on Steemit, we’ll be hosting an open competition for Steemians to submit intro/outros that we’ll be using throughout February’s DTube videos. The video above goes through the announcement and all the needed details as found below.

Every Steemian is invited to submit an intro/outro animation! The top submissions will receive big Sndbox upvotes and the winner will be featured for each week of February’s Sndbox videos!

Here’s a look at our OLD intro/outro animation!

I know it is not my deal, but i guess old one was better:
at first, optically it feels like "O" now is smaller than other letters, unsure if it's good in this case.
Second: now it all looks much more monumental, and old logo with lowercase feels much more democratic which is in my opinion more relevant to sndbox meaning. In other words i see redesign for redesign. Sorry for this share of criticism, anyway sndbox is great

I've been in printing for 17 years and there's something about your color palette that I've never seen before. Great color combinations. I like the new and the old logo equally to be honest.

Don't mean to be such a balloon pricker but I actually really liked the old logo and prefer it to the new one. It had a really nice colour to it and I like the lower case for design, generally. But then again, this is all entirely personal. I am a bit sad to see that old logo go. It was the thing that really brought me to sndbox.

The loss of the Echer pattern was a mistake. I think that the logo is good but it is less than it was.

This is a link to my entry for the sndbox dtube competition

I tried using dtube a lot but it kept giving me problems of error while submitting to the blockchain.


I tried it severally with different ways but to no avail so I had to use youtube. I hope this still qualifies as a valid entry .cheers

Here is my silly entry! https://steemit.com/sndbox/@jimdraw/2xnl4tf5


Here is the gif version too (https://steemit.com/competition/@sndbox/8ot0p8gf)
sndbox-mgm-title-animation.gif

For the Sndbox DTube Competition Entry. I was inspired or perhaps motivated to rip-off the MGM logo!
This of course cannot be used for sndbox unless they want to receive a cease and desist letter for MGM for the use of the lion.
Regardless, the lion symbolises the power of the sndbox! A Steemit Incubator for Creatives, Communities and large African feline beasts of the Panthera leo genus.

Please not that I also broke the rule of a 2-4 second video, this beast needs more time.
