I'm proud to say that we finally have banner that we could call our own! It has been in the making for quite some time and it's finally out now. Would like to firstly give a **HUGE** shoutout to @ayza for designing this. # A Banner We Can Call Our Own ___ ![Banner Steem-Music (1000x400).jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmSZ89zWNKAZQCj6AfRU6GYX5SpPBryGzBHzWACNHbuXai/Banner%20Steem-Music%20(1000x400).jpg) As you can see that we've plastered our tagline right below our hashtag, both to tell others what we are all about, and also to remind ourselves what initiated this in the beginning. I do not want to lose sight of [why I started this initiative](https://steemit.com/steem-music/@calebleejl/steem-music-we-leave-no-note-behind-new-project), why I took ownership of this project. I believe there's a place in Steemit for every hardworking person and it would be a shame for this platform to miss out on any talent of any kind. My language happens to be music so I choose music as a medium and extend the invitation to any music enthusiast out there! It would definitely be my honor if this initiative inspires you to start something similar of your own, one's language which you speak fluently in. # Our Big Brother ___ I would also like to take this opportunity to thank a community that has been like a big brother to us - #steem-cartoon. A huge thanks to founder @sireh who has been seriously throwing his weight behind us. Never would I have thought a community as established as his would spare time and effort to help a community like ours while it's still in its infancy. I'm definitely looking forward to [forging a closer partnership in the future](https://steemit.com/steem-cartoon/@perennial/steem-cartoon-our-road-ahead), while also [finding our own footing](https://steemit.com/steem-music/@calebleejl/steem-music-our-baby-steps) in this Steemit world as a community. https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmXf8zpyVEGxHjGow3mnB3KWeyPuLoWLpCBUyFzfpANW7Z/WO-OWL%20BANNER%20copy.png # A Simple Dedication ___ Here's a video that I did a week ago with my music mentor - @vincentchin when I got news that our 'big brother' decided to help us out with the banner. A simple yet meaningful tune from the animated cartoon Mulan - "Reflection". https://youtu.be/P-8ku94cExk *Look at me I will never pass for a perfect bride, or a perfect daughter Can it be I'm not meant to play this part Now I see, that if I were truly to be myself I would break my family's heart* *Who is that girl I see, Staring straight back at me Why is my reflection someone I don't know Somehow I cannot hide Who I am, though I've tried When will my reflection show, who I am, inside* *How I pray, that a time will come I can free myself and meet their expectations On that day, I'll discover someway to be myself And to make my family proud* *They want a docile lamb No-one knows who I am Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide Must I pretend that I am someone else for all time When will my reflection show, who I am inside When will my reflection show, who I am inside* [![The STEEM Engine](https://ethandsmith.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/steemengineBanner.png)](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@thesteemengine/introducing-the-steem-engine-initiative)
