The first place has made a pretty nice logo. But, I still think that @steemcleaners team have made mistakes in concept. As far as I know, steemit I imagine as an ocean in which there are plankton, minnow, dolphin, orca, and whale. Then @steemcleaners should choose First Place with the relevant context (something terrible in the ocean). According to the contest theme, "AVATAR", or you mean it "mascot"? Clearly it's not a logo. :)
