Hey everyone,

I have some exciting news to share today. Thanks to ecoinstant@ecoinstant, hive.micro has been submitted to Hive Keychain to be included in their official list of dApps. This is a huge, but there was one small problem: we needed a logo.

So, I made one. It's a bit silly, but as someone who isn't the most artistic person, I'm quite proud of how it turned out.

My main design goal was to create a pixelated bee. Since the app uses monospace fonts for a retro, terminal-like feel, which people have said they love, I thought a pixel art style for the logo would be perfect.


Here's a little peek behind the scenes at the logo being put together in GIMP.

And for anyone curious, here are the layers that went into making it.

It's a simple design, but hopefully, it's a memorable one.

P.S.: As I was typing this up, ecoinstant@ecoinstant informed me that it was approved and is now in the social list of Hive Keychain Mobile App!

As always,
