With the idea of sharing my gaming content on multiple social networks, I also decided to create some logo and cover for my channels. The reason is that I simply don't want my face to be the first thing you see when you come to my website. I'll use it just in some posts and streams from time to time.
Well, but how this logo should look?
I imagined some logo where you can see I'm a girl. Yeah, I say I don't want to use my girl power a lot, but why not! Gamer girl is super hot or not? And, of course, I had to somehow put some gaming elements into it so you can see what is my blog about even without reading its description (it is still missing in most of my websites).
Sooo... In my spare time at work, I took a paper and a pen and started to draw. And I didn't have to wait for the result a long time!
At first, I outlined the shape of my face and hair from my photo with gaming headset (it is my profile picture now) and began to think about where to place the game elements.
At first, I thought I'd put them under the silhouette of my face, but then I got a much better idea!
What if I use the mouse buttons instead of the face and the PS4 controller in my hair! That would cover PC and PS4 on which I play games! Sometimes I just love my brain.
Just laugh at my thoughts:
The controller made a terrible helmet on my head, so I decided to put the buttons straight into my hair and ta-da. The logo was born!
I wasn't sure about using a mouth, so it's drawn with a pencil.
The redrawing process.
After I redrew the logo into Inkscape, it was clearly seen that the version with a mouth would be better.
And just for fun, the mid mouse button looks like an eye of the Cyclops, which used to be my nickname in some games. It was a Cyclops-female in Czech (Kyklopka).
So many references in this logo...
As soon as I finished the redrawing, I began to experiment with colors:
That mint color should be same as the one on Steemit logo. It just looks a little different in combination with black.
Which version do you like the most? Please give me some feedback. My favorites, for now, are versions with the black background.
And yeah, it's not perfect, but I'm not a pro. I do it just for fun :D
