![dbuzz-robot.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmbMNrrqEPe2knfbtRVmnz5uSiydaR6vq2n2BcTYm8trpG/dbuzz-robot.png) **Greetings !** Since [d.buzz](d.buzz) has been getting quite a surge of new and enthusiastic users (and gaining traction), today I decided to show you how I made the DBuzz logo you all recognize and hopefully love. So without further ado, let's get started shall we? --- First, I research different types of logos and collect any logos that I think matches what I'm aiming to do, or any that fancies me. I then make different thumbnails based on the images that I collected. The colors for this particular logo was red and black (previously yellow and black). **FUN FACT:** The original name of this project was bhive.buzz (or at least that was the name I was given). You can see that I designed the first batch of logos based on this name. ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmYsrXUDXwoJnhrg8RfoS8jduswAU4NtJ6pXfmvxPSJcYK/image.png) I let this one sit for a few days while I do other stuff. After a few days, the name has suddenly changed into the name you all know: D.Buzz. Now after ruminating about what type of icon I wanted to make, I decided to go for a bee which incorporates the letters "D" and "B". This is what I came up with after probably days of research: ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmShNhYWQ63tukFZuioxBmAjRjjPei3uKPFeyEs81s5iKU/image.png) Next is deciding on a font. I already had an idea of what font I wanted to use. I went with Roboto and tried some color combinations: ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmdTgDFjqCaD843vNaGp5hWsgSeeBhvB5BcvgS2F97UTju/image.png) Then I went ahead and incorporated the two icons I previously made into the font. I also made some more icons in between those days: ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQme11p6DAFY3GVszah3GETji3oHgYuZv9BLeVkTbMt8RGK/image.png) They ultimately decided on this particular combination after some deliberation: ![image.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmPyrxuTRdupwhcp5qq7Z5zQwx8zjCVXS73LXkN1aZkPif/image.png) **And that's it!** Here's a sample of the logo used in promotional material. ![Dbuzz-astronaut-portrait.png](https://images.hive.blog/DQmTVobaSzL6epP2L6LuX71nXG32aKn12NFCeoXCEp8n938/Dbuzz-astronaut-portrait.png) --- I hope you like the final output and had fun reading about the process.
