Logo Design: Robots

PauloGabriel — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 03:48:26 +0000

The Logo Design series is up and running! We're thinking ahead and we want to find new ways to sort these listings. Last week we had a post on farming logos... today it's all about logos with robots!

As usual, we'll search for logos in these galleries: Logopond, Logo Faves, Logo Moose, Logo from Dreams, Logo Gala, WS Logos, The Logo Mix and Wolda. We hope you all enjoy our selection! Cheers. ;)

PS.: Got cool ideas for sorting? Tell us! And thanks to Daniel Vitter for this week's suggestion. ;)

Adoptabots by Brian Marshall

guest — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 14:08:36 +0000

Brian Marshall is a Delaware based middle school teacher with one of the coolest hobbies ever. Using found objects, he dreams and builds "Adoptabots".

This isn't even close to all of them. Brian has an extensive body of work, so be sure to check out his flickr for more creations.

"For as long as I can remember, I have always had a passion for building things. Legos and Lincoln Logs occupied my time as a youngster, but as I grew older and my construction techniques progressed, I sought out new and unusual materials that would allow my imagination to run wild. Then, one lazy afternoon while watching movies I was inspired by an unusual lamp and my artistic career was born. Lamps led to clocks, small tables, chandeliers and my first attempt at robots."

"Soon, my basement became a place where all the unwanted, used up parts from commercial enterprises and residential homes could now come to find hope. This was when I created the world’s first robot orphanage. These parts refused to give up on life just because they were being discarded. So with a little help from myself, these parts were coming together with new and unusual friends to fulfill their dreams of once again bringing joys to others."

A variety of Adoptabots are available for purchase on Brian's Etsy page.

Yesterday I ran into a photo with a robot, which gave me the idea to make a huge collection of robots for you. While I was searching, I found out that robots are everywhere. You can find them in every style of art.

In this post you can find a bunch of different bots: cute ones, fighters, high-tech or grungy. I hope everyone will find a favorite. Don't forget to share your robot in a comment!

26 Awesome 3D Robots, Cyborgs and Armored Suits

Yeah!! We love freaking robots!! Shiny silver is the new black! We've been suckers for metal beings for a long time, thanks to movies like Blade Runner, Universal Soldier, Terminator, and many others, like Iron Man most recently. So here are some bad ass 3D works by the people from sweet CG Society (who I'm sure love free publicity).

Anyways, I know that you won't read this anyway, so just go on and enjoy! Hope you all like it!! Cheers! ;)

I ♥ robots! I hope you do too because I have three robot-related things to tell you about. First, an awesome CG short film. Second, a look at the new Transformers 2 posters. Finally, some info on the upcoming Voltron movie.

Update (8/24/08):
- Apparently the Transformers 2 posters are fake. Sorry about that! Oh well, they are still really cool!

- Not too long after posting this Design Boom posted an awesome blog entry about female robots. Check it out.

1. World War

World War is a short film about two 1940s era vehicles that transform into robots and battle. It takes place 100 years after WWII, Hiroshima, Japan 2045 A.D. It was made by Vincent Chai, a recent graduate of the University of Hertfordshire in the UK. What's even more amazing was that he only used off-the-shelf softwares like Maya, Photoshop, and After Effects. This stuff looks like it was made in a professional CG studio! It's a great example that you don't need a huge budget to create stunning visual effects.

Go to his website to watch the complete short film (it also has an HD version) and check out the making of the film as well.

Here are some screen grabs:

2. Transformers 2 Posters

Two new posters for the upcoming Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen have been released and here's a glimpse. I really enjoyed the first movie so I'm excited that they are making a sequal.

3. Voltron the live action movie

I've heard rumors that someone wanted to make a live-action version of Voltron. Well apparently it's no longer a rumor. With the success of Tranformers, studios are jumping on the 80's cartoons-with-Robots bandwagon. What's next? A Go-Bots movies? Robotech? I used to love Voltron so I'm definitely interested. Plus I read they are supposed to use a similar type of style/effects that they used in the movie 300.

Read more about this at this i09 blog entry.

Here's a blog following the progress of the film: http://voltron-2008.blogspot.com/

and for your nostalgia, here are 2 clips from the 80's Voltron cartoons:
