RoboSavvy logo/banner

[Layton]

Hey, I took a little time to throw together this logo/banner for your site, using the existing size and background color as a template. I hope you like it. If you want to use it, no credit is required.







perhaps it should read RoboSavvy.com?

and a preview with alternate color schemes:

Very cool!

I'm no designer, but if you want to, you may want to try a few logos with a humanoid robot like in the current RoboSavvy logo. That way people will know this site is about humanoid robots!

thanks for the reply, I appreciate your feedback. The idea behind this is to keep it simple, clean and above all easy to read to make it accessible to the most people possible. By including a photo of an actual humanoid, there's some issues.

1. Unless you include all robots, some robots will be under-represented and others will be over-represented in the logo. I'm assuming the ppl in charge don't want to play favorites.

2. Copyright issues.

3. When new robots come out the logo starts to look old.

Hopefully the robot that is made up of the R serves as a logo and informs the uninitiated viewer what the site is about. I was going for something that wouldn't disturb the reader's eye from the name of the site, while at the same time creating a kind of universal iconic image of a robot that people can understand. The "R" robot should be iconic enough that if it was printed on a shirt people would instantly know that it's the Robosavvy robot.

I know it may be too "cute" for some people but I think it is more welcoming than the KHR's servo head. If you don't like it, please leave a comment too instead of just using the poll. Maybe the site doesn't need a new logo/banner but as I am a new user I felt the current one (and the banner that pops up while visiting the store) look a bit dated.

Yeah, I understand what you are talking about making it "the RoboSavvy robot".

Maybe you could have the text "Humanoid Robot Online Community + Store"? Like I said, I not a designer or brand builder

Do you make logos and stuff as a business, or just for fun? If it's just for fun, you should sell this stuff! It is great!

For a new member, you've already put a lot into this forum!

Thanks,

BTW - If you have an online branding firm or something, link to it! It will not be marked as spam.

I just do it for fun. I took your suggestion and revised the robot a bit too, adding a little loopy eye animation.

Good stuff!
I'm a designer by day and I'm liking it. The old skool bot on the top left, obviously humanoid, nicely integrated with the shiny "new" font. Upper-cased the R and S for clarity. Nice.

Only thing I might develop further is the "+Store". Seems added on... no pun intended. Maybe "Humanoid Robot Community & Online Store" ???

hm, well yes if it would fit nicely I would have done that but I'd have to make the text smaller to get all the words in. I think separating the community from the store is also a good idea, even if it looks a bit tagged on.

Anyway, I decided not to bother anymore since I have not received any word from anyone running the site as to whether or not this would ever be considered for use, or if they are already considering it or not.

Layton,

A new logo is being considered for RoboSavvy. Just note that a change will not happen without much thought, and may not happen at all.

Thanks,
