Changing things around for Hive Meetup: Buzz Party!
### Let's get some work done

So, earlier this week @GuiltyParties asked me if I could do some design-work for @Tibfox and @Hivecreators for the Hive Meetup communities that are going to be merged. When talking to Tibfox, I can see he is very passionate about Hive and just a humble guy in general. When GP told me he has given a green light to Tibfox to put me to work, I wanted to make something 'nice' and more of this time for the Meetup communities as I honestly think that it has a lot of potential to onboard people who are curious what the meetup is all about. 

### Brainstorm session
At first, I had to gather some information about why and how they needed me, so I could index what needs to be done. So a logo and a banner was something that needed to be done for sure, so I started combining colors and making up colors that I thought would look great and invoke a bit of curiosity, raises interest, and just has a playful look and feel. After all, Meetups are fun and interesting, and people who are curious about meeting other people should definitely attend one. 

So, after sketching and making a first-round design of the logo, Tibfox had to let it sink in, but in the end he loved it, just a few more tweaks and we were smooth sailing. The only thing that had me bugged was the name "HiveUp" and how it could correlate with Meetups. So, we did a small brainstorm session together to come up with a better name that would bring the life to the... party! Somehow, I really like the word "Buzz" when it comes down to thinking about people gathering around, and having some fun. When you think about it, these people gathering should make quite some buzz, so here's what we came up with: Buzz Party - Meet Hive Anywhere.

### Web design idea
@Enrique89 has asked me if I could come up with an idea that would serve as an improvement for the current website. I will work on that tomorrow, or after the weekend. But I do have something in my mind that would hopefully look like something people wanna use outside of Hive as well. I should really get back into Front-end development as well, but for now, I don't have the time to get fully back into ReactJS.

So, with that in mind, I will be making more assets that could go well with the website and the introduction/merge post that I will share when done.

Cheers,
Ruben
