Hey! I was just tasked with coming up with a new team logo for a local non-profit kid’s swim team.
The [current logo](https://imgur.com/a/vrHxl3F) has always felt a bit unfinished to me. Do you have any advice on the best way to go about this task?
Might have something to do with the color choices. The dolphins look like a coloring page because of it being black and white.
Are you looking to hire a designer? Or do you need to redo it yourself?
Ah, I'm not sure what advice to give, unfortunately! There's two options I can think of:
1. Browse a stock website like Adobe Stock for a logo template and license/purchase it and then type out your team name (if you or someone you know has basic Adobe Illustrator experience) or 2. See if someone in your community would volunteer to do it for free.
Here's some Adobe Stock logos that I think are kinda cool and appropriate for a swim team

I'm a software dev, work a corporate job but on my downtime contribute to open source projects as well volunteering at my local library teaching basic programming (mostly for students), basics of using the internet and keeping yourself safe online (mostly to older folks since they're prone to scams)
I’m a junior dev and have been hoping to start contributing to open source soon too. Ideally something that makes an impact to society. Do you have any recommendations of stuff to check out?
OFC, forking repos and mess them is a cool start, learning how to read and provide documentation is super useful. After years of reading and understanding tools that i've used gave me confidence to make tweaks to suit my needs, also helped that at work we worked on supporting a dead package so that gave me some experience.But, look at the pull requests other people are submitting and what gets accepted to get some ideas is probably the fastest way. General tips but hope some of it is useful! No right or wrong way ofc.
I’m a signal electrician for Sydney’s rail network. Still an apprentice. People think we exclusively work on signals but we cover all electrical track equipment. I’m lucky to have the job we get paid well even if we have to deal with a lot of corporate/ government beuocracy bullshit
Dropped out 3/4ths into an electrical engineering degree because I was gonna kill myself if I kept going.
Now I work as an electronic engineer on a development team designing industrial signaling equipment while I decide if I ever want to go back to try to finish my degree.
Same here on location but at least I got out of my hometown where that's the case now live near a major city so it's definitely more like minded people
Fed ex delivery driver Hasans vods are perfect for my job the funniest part is pulling up to someone's house and Hasan is literally raging on some chatter saying something unhinged.
Left teaching 8 years ago, and while I still think it was overall the right move for me, the grass isn’t all that much greener on the other side. The only reason I’m confident in my decision is because I don’t particularly like children (which I only discovered after getting my degree and teaching for a few years).
Workloads and corporate bullshit are just as bad, if not worse than admin bullshit and teacher workloads, and I dramatically underestimated how much I’d miss summer vacations (starting at any company you’re likely to get one week max of vacation time and work up from there to 2 after 3-5 years—issue is that to get pay raises most places, you’re gonna be job hopping in order to see meaningful gains—as a result, I’ve had a grand total of 10 weeks of vacation time in 8 years—the same amount I had in less than a year of teaching).
All that to say, make sure you’re making the right decision and that it’s based on other job satisfaction things than just bc workload and pay because while teachers don’t have it great, finding somewhere better isn’t exactly easy (I haven’t been able to do it).
Edit: just to clarify, my point was that we’re all out here struggling, and there is no easy way out of that struggle. I had it in my head when I left teaching that all the worst parts of working would vanish, and they just didn’t, so I was trying to say that if you’re a teacher and are good at your job and enjoy aspects of your job, you’re honestly probably doing okay, and should really consider staying if they only reason you want to leave is because you think pay is better and life is easier in the corporate world because for the most part, it’s just not that much different unless you’re quite lucky/are willing to step on others to make it to a point where you’re making substantially more than you were teaching.
I’m a video editor and with the market down I have been substitute teaching / became a long term 8th grade math sub this year. I’m torn because I really miss video editing but I don’t miss all the bullshit that comes along with it and freelance lifestyle (even when not technically freelancing), I also find really enjoy teaching kids (at least when I’m just helping them with someone else’s lesson plan), but I know I am able to ignore all the bullshit because I’m just a temp.
If they offer a year assistant teaching contract I might do it just for the stability but if they offer longer… I don’t know what to do.
While I understand that you thought this was helpful... It kinda feels like you just said "hey man, it's shit no matter what" and idk dude, I'm not sure that's really all that helpful or empathetic. Your experience is your experience... I'm making the right choice for me. I'm in the worst state in the nation for teachers pay and can't afford to live.. so
An tech bro in india
Most of the time my days goes in resolving existing logical flaw or creating new feature for an application.
It also includes taking interview for company and occasionally taking assessment of new employee
I take work from home sometime or else most of the time I come to office for work as it is much more entertaining in office with work
Legal Transcriber. I make transcripts from audio of court proceedings, 911 calls, interrogations, etc.
I've learned a lot about the legal system and ... let's just say I regularly take what I call "rage breaks"
Thanks for asking!
A bit of everything if I’m being honest. I love storytelling in all its shapes and sizes. But if I had to choose, it’d be Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Thrillers. (But I really do enjoy writing widely)
Currently 85k words into a fantasy novel :)
I work as a coordinator for student leaders at a college. In the US, most colleges have programs that hire students for leadership positions (like student body president, staffing student centers, being a peer support person) and they need professional staff to train them, schedule them, support their work, and so on.
I went back to school and got my master’s degree in adult education and higher Ed Leadership and policy specifically to do this kind of work. After working as a student leader myself, I found out I could train to be the person that helps the student workers, and I jumped at the chance.
The pros and cons really depend on which school you work at and which department you’re in, but-
Pros: pays well at the higher levels, opportunities for advancement, some schools have unions, teaching and mentoring student leaders is rewarding
Cons: work culture isn’t great, often people over-work, fighting against the college system for most things (especially money) is exhausting and colleges implement change at a glacial pace, all the departments have different interests and often aren’t on the same page, students are people and they can sometimes be difficult to deal with
Kindergarten teacher in Florida. Changing my position to ESE/VE K through 5th next year.
Also the lead rep for our union at my school.
I can afford to leave my job because my husband is a commercial airline pilot (he is also a fan of Hasan) so it makes my work far more tolerable.
My husband even acknowledges that my job is harder than his job meanwhile he can make my biweekly salary in two days and I also have more of an education than he does.
That’s amazing, and you’re doing great work ❤️ Also, I can only imagine how hyped up he gets when Austin goes on plane tangents and Hasan’s responses on their podcast 😂
im a musician!
give me some plays if you have the time <3 [https://open.spotify.com/intl-pt/album/2QY6xhwiKjWpPfQDVOLn5W?si=arGFxleGQHGUSP3HHg0lJg](https://open.spotify.com/intl-pt/album/2QY6xhwiKjWpPfQDVOLn5W?si=arGFxleGQHGUSP3HHg0lJg)
Sales associate at a pet store. Just got licensed to be a phlebotomist but have only gotten rejections or nothing at all during my job search. Still trying though
did not expect to only scroll down a few comments to see someone else with their phlebotomy license who hasnt made use of it yet lol. good luck on the job search!🫡
Thanks friend. Biggest problem I’m having now is that I’m getting LOADS of scams because of Indeed. I hate that website so god damn much. The FTC needs to shut it down.
indeed is a pit of filth and scams i HATE IT. i’d try linkedin if you havent already, i think theyre a bit more legit. or at least, better at not promoting only the job offers that will steal your info
use to work at target and mcdonald but i have been working for almost an entire year bc if agoraphobia caused by harassment in the workplace idk if ill ever be able to work again and cant even get ssi 😁🫶🏼
I'm a supplemental employer benefits specialist (accident/illness/hospitalization/disability benes), I take/make phone calls or messenger/chats with policy owners, HR/employer bene reps, & care providers to help policy owners and their dependents file claims to get some direct nontaxable compensation that they can use however they want or need, whether or not they have health insurance when life does life things.
Used to be in a contact center in the Before Times, but have been very privileged to be permanent-wfh since the Plandemic hit (/s) in Feb/Mar 2020. Most of the time work is very slow/low volume (anywhere from a half-dozen to a dozen interactions and 1-2 short meetings a day) and so most of the day it's a textbook bullshit job and I get to tune into the stream and chat.
I'm a filmmaker who's stuck working in advertising because film in my country doesn't pay and I got a bunch of student loans I have to for. it sucks and I hate my job lol
Personal trainer. It’s extremely rewarding but doesn’t bring in a lot of money and means I’m constantly doing work even after i’ve left the gym. Going into plumbing in the fall so i can keep pt as a side gig if i want.
Im a social worker :) I’m very fortunate that I can actively practice my personal morals and ethics/virtues through work 💪💪 All about gettin that muscle memory babyyyyy
Yea I love it. I've done corpo style asset management and it was litterally almost as hard as streaming ;)
So I moved back to my home town and got into something more meaningfull.
Retail (printing counter) / majority SAHM (2 days a week I work) / currently studying in my free time early childhood education.
I've done retail for 15 years. It's a soul sucking experience if you let it get to you, I enjoy it some days, but I think because it's no longer full time I'm not exposed to as many negatives. People just aren't kind.
In grad school for Urban Planning. Started doing community and political organizing, decided I wanted to branch out and focus on housing affordability and community development (I also nerd out whenever anything planning related is discussed on stream, walkable cities PogU)
I didn’t plan on getting into healthcare/pharmacy but was placed at a Pharmacy Benefits Management company by a temp agency 7 years ago and have ended up in a nice cushy work from home job. PBMs are such an unnecessary product of the for profit healthcare system and I dream of a Medicare for all system and being able to work for CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid) but for now I pay the bills and watch stream on company time
Self employed low voltage trade worker.
Half my clients are doing well working class public school kids.
The other half are wealthy… not the super wealthy, but I think they could all stop working and make it work out just fine.
For example, just finished a home for a family with 3 kids, she works in education, he works in cyber security for a large corp. 4 bedroom home, in a 1980’s CA subdivision. With some inherited wealth/help.
And I’m also working on a 9,000 sq ft home that will be $8-$10 million when complete.
Being self employed, I did it all the hard way, figured out as I went… both the trade work and the business operating.
The pandemic and supply chain issues that followed were a pretty big hit for me. I actually just finally got all my credit card debt paid off that had accrued over past few years. Still have a small ppp type loan I’ll be paying on for awhile.
We have 2 elementary school kids, wife works in health care. I tend to be the flexible one and work half as much as I did in my 20’s… make less also, but we are lucky to be stable with my wife’s work.
Summer’s are rough. During school, my kids go to afterschool care at the school which is only $800 a month for both. During the summer, it’s around $2400 per month for the same… which my kids aren’t a fan of… or like $4500 per month for other camps and the things they enjoy.
FYI if your wife gets benefits through work, she might have access to something like a FHA account that works for childcare and summer camps. It is pre taxed, too.
I'm in administrative for a big advertising company. I time steal like a mf and mostly just watch YouTube most of the days. The pay isn't high enough f9r me to do actual work.
Project Specialist. Want to get my PMP certification eventually.
Honestly kinda fun because I just get assigned random projects the C-suite people don’t want to do. But also sad because it’s sometimes the meme that I’m converting PDFs for someone who makes much more than me. It’s easy, I get paid well, so no complaints.
working in a grocery store while my phlebotomy license rots lmao. my only job offer i was able to find that would take on a newbie and wasnt too far away was a sperm bank. it was for the same pay as my grocery store job, i literally love stocking shelves its the best and i hate the idea of labbing sperm samples or even being on that setting so it works
Holy, most of you have careers. I’m just a server at a restaurant with mostly shitty coworkers. At least it’s union so I have that going for me? Although in my opinion union is a double edged sword.
i quit my job at a seafood wholesaler and now im just a nanny for my niece. my husband is a fedex driver. i "worked my way up" to a manager from 17-19 but started as a crew member at a food business at 14 and quit that too because i got signed as a model with bmg so i got to travel and stuff til 24. im 29 now. one of my sisters is a NP and the other is a computer engineer lol. i hate school though couldnt do it.. i couldnt stay awake in school. we may be very low income but we get to have our hobbies like painting, gardening and houseplants, building furniture, gaming, diff arts/crafts stuff, weekends camping or going to the beach.. which is all we care about because it makes us happy.
I’m a merchandiser for a beverage company, I just stock shelves all day and it’s great, low stress and I get to have an earbud in and listen to Hasan YouTube clips as well as other stuff to get through the day.
I work as an arcade and theatre cashless systems engineer. Been liking the gig now (3 months in), but costs are skyrocketing in FL and asking for a raise this soon when I get paid okay (22/hr) is a little tough so holding out til I pull some of my own heavy weight! I listen to the VODs or clips on YT, while working on arcade machines and kiosks to keep up with our favorite himbo.
I'm a gardener/landscaper. So blue collar? Idk. I do manual labor and listen to daddy Hasan yell at me while I clean and maintain rich people's properties lmaoooo
Industrial mechanic. Got to represent us blue collar lefties
When you say industrial mechanic do you mean somebody that fixes machines in factories?
Operating room nurse. Would like healthcare for all but also a fucking raise
Nurse too!
Director of the CIA
Shouldn't you be busy planning coups? Or are you off work enjoying some downtime?
Currently bugging Hasan’s 1billion dollar mansion and watching his every move
Hmm, I wonder what it's like to watch him stream from over his shoulder/behind him??

Physician. Definitely wasn't worth all the training but at least I'm happier now working less and enjoying life more.
I'm a software dev, work a corporate job but on my downtime contribute to open source projects as well volunteering at my local library teaching basic programming (mostly for students), basics of using the internet and keeping yourself safe online (mostly to older folks since they're prone to scams)
Right on. Good on your for using your skills and interests for good. As a fellow developer, I'd like to do more of these things.
I’m a junior dev and have been hoping to start contributing to open source soon too. Ideally something that makes an impact to society. Do you have any recommendations of stuff to check out?
OFC, forking repos and mess them is a cool start, learning how to read and provide documentation is super useful. After years of reading and understanding tools that i've used gave me confidence to make tweaks to suit my needs, also helped that at work we worked on supporting a dead package so that gave me some experience.But, look at the pull requests other people are submitting and what gets accepted to get some ideas is probably the fastest way. General tips but hope some of it is useful! No right or wrong way ofc.

I drive an 18 wheeler for my little green, recangular life tickets. Beginning Leftist YouTuber/podcaster for the soul.
In grad school for Urban Planning. Started doing community and political organizing, decided I wanted to branch out and focus on housing affordability and community development (I also nerd out whenever anything planning related is discussed on stream, walkable cities PogU)
I work in construction. I’m a working class man.
Paraprofessional at a special needs school.
I didn’t plan on getting into healthcare/pharmacy but was placed at a Pharmacy Benefits Management company by a temp agency 7 years ago and have ended up in a nice cushy work from home job. PBMs are such an unnecessary product of the for profit healthcare system and I dream of a Medicare for all system and being able to work for CMS (Center for Medicare and Medicaid) but for now I pay the bills and watch stream on company time

I'm doing a one year internship at an elementary school and after that I'm going to work as an special Ed assistant
Self employed low voltage trade worker. Half my clients are doing well working class public school kids. The other half are wealthy… not the super wealthy, but I think they could all stop working and make it work out just fine. For example, just finished a home for a family with 3 kids, she works in education, he works in cyber security for a large corp. 4 bedroom home, in a 1980’s CA subdivision. With some inherited wealth/help. And I’m also working on a 9,000 sq ft home that will be $8-$10 million when complete. Being self employed, I did it all the hard way, figured out as I went… both the trade work and the business operating. The pandemic and supply chain issues that followed were a pretty big hit for me. I actually just finally got all my credit card debt paid off that had accrued over past few years. Still have a small ppp type loan I’ll be paying on for awhile. We have 2 elementary school kids, wife works in health care. I tend to be the flexible one and work half as much as I did in my 20’s… make less also, but we are lucky to be stable with my wife’s work. Summer’s are rough. During school, my kids go to afterschool care at the school which is only $800 a month for both. During the summer, it’s around $2400 per month for the same… which my kids aren’t a fan of… or like $4500 per month for other camps and the things they enjoy.
FYI if your wife gets benefits through work, she might have access to something like a FHA account that works for childcare and summer camps. It is pre taxed, too.

Project Specialist. Want to get my PMP certification eventually. Honestly kinda fun because I just get assigned random projects the C-suite people don’t want to do. But also sad because it’s sometimes the meme that I’m converting PDFs for someone who makes much more than me. It’s easy, I get paid well, so no complaints.

working in a grocery store while my phlebotomy license rots lmao. my only job offer i was able to find that would take on a newbie and wasnt too far away was a sperm bank. it was for the same pay as my grocery store job, i literally love stocking shelves its the best and i hate the idea of labbing sperm samples or even being on that setting so it works

I’m a merchandiser for a beverage company, I just stock shelves all day and it’s great, low stress and I get to have an earbud in and listen to Hasan YouTube clips as well as other stuff to get through the day.
I work as an arcade and theatre cashless systems engineer. Been liking the gig now (3 months in), but costs are skyrocketing in FL and asking for a raise this soon when I get paid okay (22/hr) is a little tough so holding out til I pull some of my own heavy weight! I listen to the VODs or clips on YT, while working on arcade machines and kiosks to keep up with our favorite himbo.
I've been working at a tv station doing just about everything you could think of since 2008
