Contest OCD & POSH need a logo! - a few ideas (part 1)

Hi everyone...
In my humble opinion, the current logo has all the elements that set it apart and can be preserved with a view to expanding its popularity (outside of the HIVE ecosystem).

My personal considerations:
- regardless of the actual concept of (bee)hive/community/bee working together, the hexagonal shape exemplifies technology
- the acronym is easily remembered and the font should remain linear and legible.
- I don't know the history of the whale in the logo but certainly the idea of creating a logo that can work even in small size (32-64-128 px) leaves me doubtful  about the presence of the cetacean. In addition, the graphics with polygonal filter (triangles) is now old and too abused. If it is not an obligation to keep it, in my opinion the cetacean could be abandoned in the final version of the logo.
- I find the word "decentralized" difficult to keep so visible (external audience). "Original Content" would already sound alone as a logo to remember, and "decentralized" could turn into a tail-word, into a word of secondary importance (although it paradoxically represents the very concept of the ecosystem where it lives.

With these considerations I tried to decompose and recompose the logo, keeping the elements and finding some ideas (obviously they remain ideas, nothing definitive).

1 )
The red color in my opinion is perfect. We already can read the "H" in negative (Hive), and there is already well readable "OCD"

![1_OCD_pieno_scritte_bianche.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iodacasamia/AKLwJ74DiWBvooZebsKyYyhzFDkk2eCciYvgUsWJYTWJUeCWKkfyxCEUDeKcxLY.jpg)

2 ) and 3 )
In fact, expanding the current graphics we can get the letters to form a single "block", which can exist comfortably even without the help of the writings (the small versions)

![2_OCD_negativo_ricavante.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iodacasamia/AKLwKHJMDvct4qprWMfchcy3PoSRCcTgzQshVuLsakAiWQ4XxxXYustkG4x4r2F.jpg)

![3_OCD_monoblocco.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iodacasamia/AKeABU1JkVUHPSibjsYbdWUYb8JAQyD6D4BLZBNbZJyYC8D4z3oK2fYUs3tdax9.jpg)

4 ) 
"Original Content Decentralized" as a shoulder to accompany the entire logo

![4_OCD_monoblocco_scritta.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iodacasamia/AKYREuSM9DF2M1aKGKorxHwvZGoRAZiBDRBDf64YGswzgJFii1nUDrurQ4rpJnR.jpg)

5 )
A version inside the hexagon (can live with or without text)

![5_OCD_simplestart.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iodacasamia/AK82XcqgsaXekdsryfYrMtpseC7GGtN7UiCZfdDoBGvuujgGPj9kNdi92JRWFUv.jpg)

6 )
A variant logo with the presence of the cetacean (but this kind of logos do not work well if small because the shape of the cetacean will be difficult to read)

![6_OCD_totale_balena.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iodacasamia/AKREjBv7zEMN7DSGw7WKEN2nFw1383ANA3VVr1B1s47qg2MN3H8n6wMcBmtFkKs.jpg)

7 ) and 8 )
Idea with the text in diagonal position, with white background and in transparency

![7_OCD_diagonal.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iodacasamia/AKU78rQBBSBACpoGkEKoXXi4ALaAULR9u7NfuJ4rLZi21UXpEuFnr87PUQ3PoPL.jpg)

![8_OCD_diagonal_balena.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iodacasamia/AKKW4AiSqwbaqCPcjyJqwTGXipc57c3N4XJ9eDv4ZkjCYUBC1sMv9H3sAbFLiEd.jpg)

9 )
Just in case, a version with the cetacean more visible because of a white border

![9_OCD_diagonal_balena_bordobianco.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iodacasamia/AKJ4uKBCDAbjDvN9m4gzVCmrv1j9iXrvfex1iwqR85F5pFh9Zox2ZjTubLS3t4U.jpg)

10 ) 
Idea to remove the cetacean but leaving its "memory" as to form the waves of an ocean in the background

![10_OCD_balenaBG.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iodacasamia/AKSfyMGyb2oxufDxdCYv2cwonmELZsgySynG2JSatApahDSiCqpRuxuugAVK4Sq.jpg)

11 ) and 12 )
New theme and simplification of the logo, more "Pop"

![11_OCD_impact.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iodacasamia/AJoNBo4FW6yQu2uK3DjXKvT1vVsa7RzCw7Nm3HzNBeShtxiUqwedFSaZBrMP6pA.jpg)

![12_OCD_impact_BG.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/iodacasamia/AJmvdpLFYFGrBEP4m2iqXJ8SuNDoQ8HNYcL3LyPvoDwqUYNM6ejvkG5XXPRwcmY.jpg)

13) and 14) and 15) and 16 )
Idea to totally rework the current logo, keeping a close connection with technology and cyberspace.
Transforming all the elements in a "circuit board" graphic concept

![13_ocd_cyberbalena.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmbHXGEcB58R4W5Z25FxN5Fuhdp375qg8ozVNeBdbKeBfU/13_ocd_cyberbalena.jpg)

![15_ocd_cyberbalena_var_noshape.jpg](https://images.ecency.com/DQmU99TGCUtYfdLwGPTKmjJERQePSe5PXgqm2MmLgjUYADL/15_ocd_cyberbalena_var_noshape.jpg)

I haven't worked out anything for the "POSH" logo yet... hope to contribute some with useful ideas....
Thanks for your attention.

You did a lot of work. Some are wonderful. No posh logo ?

I love the first design, especially if it retained that graffiti style of roughness that's contrasting with the sharp font. Great work!
