About a week ago I've created a request for a logo that will represent my new bot - SockoBot. I promised a 10 steem bounty that would go to the creator of the best logo, which would be the official logo of my bot ever since. I didn't have to wait long and the contributions were all great, so let's take a look, starting with honorable mentions!

Mind that this post's formatting sucks and it's whole purpose is to announce the winners - if you're not interested in seeing some amazing logos, this post will most likely not be a great read.

Honorable mentions:

avenal has taken the current photo of SockoBot and turned it into a beautiful, minimalist logo. This one won the hearts of my community's members.

One of the most minimalist works presented here, it really made me consider this logo for a long time before the winner submited his work.

Again, a great minimalist design. The antenna on the top of his head makes him look very bot like, and this also was a serious competitor in this one.

Up until the top contenders arrived, this was my favorite submission - I was about to announce it the winner of the competition. It looks good, combines a bot and a monkey and is pleasant to look at, as well as being memorable.

Top 2

While these were all great and serious competitors, the logos below managed something that the others couldn't, or just didn't think of - combine the monkey and the bot to give a real feel of a logo for a Discord Bot. These are the top 2, including the winner!

The decision to not accept such a beautiful logo with details in everything, including it's carefully picked color pallet is sad - this is a masterpiece and should be recognized as such. If it can't win the competition, it should at very least receive a small gift of 5 steem. Thank you, I hope to see more of your work!

Hive account@kvds came out of nowhere just before I wanted to shut down the entire thing and swept me off my feet. I didn't know this until now, but this was exactly what I've had in mind for SockoBot. The attention for detail with shadows and a beautiful collor pallet is what really makes this contribution the masterpiece that it is. The antenna on its head, its robot eyes and the nails on its face really nail the feeling of a robo monkey, which this bot should be recognised at. Thank you a lot, and enjoy your prize of 10 steem!

Few words from me

I want to thank everyone who decided to contribute to my request. There were no clear winners or losers here, everyone's contribution is fantastic and they could surely fit a different project. SockoBot will be represented by Hive account@kvds's work, but I want to encourage everyone who contributed to answer to more task requests - you're awesome and I hope to see more from you! Happy new year!
