The first thing I did was thinking about how I wanted the design to feel. The ecency brand color being "blue" means that my designs have to feel "safe and trusted."
So I thought about developing a friendly mascot.
Something that gives off the idea of safe, trusted and welcoming, to truly reflect Ecency.
The Otter was an easy choice. Getting the style to come out right was however the difficult part but after multiple tries, I was able to develop what I feel was suitable with AI. Yes, the mascot is designed with the AI, everything else is put together with my favorite design tool: Canva.
I have more designs in the draft for @ecency and I'll be exploring doing same for other hive apps.
I believe hive apps are in short supply of promotional materials, every efforts to put out more options can be very helpful.
Overtime, hopefully, these designs will get much better and very intriguing when shared on other social platforms.
