The Engine rebrand naming competition went amazingly -- the original post has almost 100 replies now! 🎉🎉
I'll definitely be doing more competitions in the future (definitely post-launch) -- so stay tuned! But for now let's see the winners of the naming competition!
So first we'll start with the resteem winner, who will receive 20 STEEM!
@alan369!
Now it's time for the big rewards -- 60 STEEM at stake for whose name is selected for the new Engine! The 60 STEEM will be divided between the top 5 names, but the majority will be given to the winner. Here's the split:
1st place: 50 STEEM
2nd place: 4 STEEM
3rd place: 3 STEEM
4th place 2 STEEM
5th place: 1 STEEM
So let's get started with 5th place!

@hobo.media with Caboose!Caboose is a great name that has a connection to a Steem (engine) -- and has a lot of potential for branding material. Congratulations
@bryan-imhoff with Pneumatic!Sounds like a great name -- and is related to Steem. According to Wikipedia:
Pneumatics is a branch of engineering that makes use of gas or pressurized air.
(or Steem!) Plus, I can think of a dozen different interesting logos using this name. Also, as
I just discovered that an informal alternate definition is apparently, “ having large breasts” so that’s a bonus! Perfect marketing campaign material... 😆
Nice job
