RE: @steemcleaners Avatar Contest - Angry Octo
Cool Angry Octo there!
At first sight I would've gone for the gree/blue Octo, but looking back, the orange one is even more forboding (whelp, just got myself a new Vagabonds adjective!).
the copyrighted Steemit colour
I didn't know you could copyright a colour?
Edit -- I read @steemcleaners post:
the seafoam green Steemit Inc logo is copyrighted
Not the colour then :)
I might have been a bit overzealous with that part it seems. I also assume you can't copyright a colour, but to be honest, most of these contests people tend to overuse that sea-green colour anyway, so I tend to shy away from it anyway. Else everything would look the same. ;P
I read that incorrectly - it's the seafoam logo you can't copyright - but you're right; everybody's going to use that. Even so, on rewatching, I found the orange better, grittier somewhat...
Also: green = go, whereas orange = watch out which is exactly what @steemcleaners should be. Upvoted your entry there as well, good luck!
Thank you. :D And I think I ended up agreeing with you, even though I was a bit indecisive, since I ended up using the orange one as my main featured on the cover and comment.
All-in-all it looks a bit like something in between a pacman ghost and a melting orange, but I do think it's at least somewhat distinctive and just a little bit cute. :P
Thank you again for all the support, greatly appreciated. :D
My pleasure! I didn't see the pacman-reference until you mentioned it now, haha.. Classic inspiration :D
