Let's have some fun:

This competition is for a micRo logo. This competition is open to all registered Lumenlab members with a zero warn status, and can include mods, since the logo will be chosen by popular vote. This competition is also open to those who have already purchased micRo.

One submission per member, but you can change your submission any time up until the vote.

The delivered logo needs to be 300dpi if raster and have a print size ≥ 10"x12". Vector art is fine too. When you are ready, post a jpg image of your logo in this thread that is 1280x1024 or smaller; do not upload the full version.

The competition will last about one month one year if there are ample submissions by that time.

Multiple polls will be run to narrow down to a winner.

The winner will receive a special trophy edition micRo, shipped free!

Slogan is optional, some choices include:

micRo: The Little Beast
micRo: Small but Mighty

Note: All submissions become the legal copyrightŽ© of Lumenlab and DIY for Life Inc. Submissions must not contain copyright art unless you are the owner.

Thanks for playing!

How about this to get people started.

Meh. It's a block... But fairly simple, and gets the point across, I think.

I still have some editing to do on this, but I'll put it up for now.

I'm not sure this would qualify, but I thought I'd give it a shot.

Second attempt (the first one looks like a CAD drawing, but the solid white on the black background is my favorite):

Very nice SIM . . . for a peng-duck!!!

Honestly, I like it.

Hey thanks bubba. Besides from being old school I don't know anything else but MS Paint

I hear by declare you both disqualified!!! LOL JK I just want less competition... Just make sure you pick one before vote time.

I would post what i have but its not ready yet. Need to install photoshop for finishing touches. Much like Sim I am only proficient at paint!

Oh what the heck... I'll show everyone what I have so far. As it stands (7pm Jul 16) this is 100% MS Paint.

Nice! So far, everybody's got their own unique design.

Yeah. Too bad mine's the best though.

It is rather nice that they all differ so. I was purposely aiming for a very minimalist kind of thing - no 3D, no drop shadows, etc (okay, so I changed my mind a bit ). Changed my mind yet again! But I pondered the route you took SIM. Supra's has a certain appeal to me as well. Heck, they're all cool.

I've also been thinking about whether to keep the rack or use a screw. Details, details . . .

I just hope we get a crapload more submissions to enjoy!

I thought about doing the same type of thing, as well. I don't really know what the finished product will look like, though.


Could somebody add a banner to the top of all forum pages so that those who don't usually come to the RoBLOKS section will know about the contest?

I am a poor college engineering student and the only way to get my hands on this awesome machine would be through this competition. You can bet I'll be working on a logo! Better watch out!

Ok, I'm done. Here's my final version.

Spoke to soon, still working at it As of now, this is what it is.

EDIT: That's it, I'm done. Been at this for a while and I really feel good about this one.

Here is my submission. I came up with a few alternative slogans that can be used.

Such as:

• mobile CNC
• portable CNC
• Small in Size, Big in Power
• CNC Anywhere

Click to view attachment
* Quad P stands for powerful + portable + precise = perfection (QxP)

Let me know what you think!

OK, I should really give this a shot as well. So here's my submission :

It was drawn with a Pilot G-2 0.7 pen on 20# standard laser printer paper. I'm not happy with the way the 'y' is spaced from the 'g' in thingy, so it probably needs a little rework if I can find the time.

Just in case I'm unsuccessful in winning a complete kit I have my credit card standing by so I can place my order.

Now some may think I have no artistic ability, (which is unfortunately true), but I prefer to think of it as minimalistic simplicity.

Here's my updated submission from the last minute pressure, watch out he bites!

Another update: a little color for more zing.

I still like mine for slapping on a machine, but this would make an awesome t-shirt design.

Or imagine a mousepad where the grid lines span across the entire pad and the main logo is in the center or in one of the corners.

How many colors do we have to work with? Should it be just a single color (so that it can be machined)?

I suspect you won't get a better answer than that. I kept mine simple for that and other reasons though.

I knew I should have at least attempted to pretend to search...

Only 11 logos so far. With the way people have been following the development of the micRo, you would think there would be more submittals.

Come on people. I thought there where more than 11 creative people out there.

Can't see everything. Also, even a "simple" design - once chosen and after becoming the property of Lumenlab - could readily be tweaked.


Bite your tongue. I want less competition. I may actually win something for once in my life.

If there would be a poll now i would vote for Sensibull's entry. I like the simplicity of it and with the bars on top and bottom and the large I it makes the connection to main features of the machine.

Most others have to much 'detail'.
IMHO of course.

heres my 1st attempt.....

1st try

Thanks for the support (and glad to know the concept came across). Sounds like we're both on the same page

D'Oh! I was working on creating a brushed metal background for my entry. You beat me to it. Hopefully, it's not a problem if I still go ahead with it? So far, all the entries have been quite distinct. But I guess similarities are bound to show up as more people enter the contest.

Nice job on the brushed metal look.

Some of these are making mine look kinda bad.

I wonder if maybe I should have used a Sharpie and maybe an extra color. Hmmm.

Don't worry about it. Most true artists aren't appreciated until they're dead, so there is still hope.

A posthumous micRo. I could live with that.

Don't change a thing. Yours is my second favorite.

For a chance win a $500 worth of a freebie your darn skippy I'd be paying attention to detail.

No matter how many entries there are the one by PengDuck will always be my LAST pick!!!

<you know i'm jest funnin' ya SIM>

I've decided to hop on the "show different colors" bandwagon...

Dave, you just prompted me to nearly soil myself at work. Thats a first. Congratulations! Sadly, there is no prize for *that* Contest. Maybe next time if you can get rid of the 'nearly' ill have a nice little present for you though.

Been awhile since I visited LL ...just got my servos though! , So popped in. You can bet ill be hopping in very soon

Ok, a fellow told me about this, so here I am, hi everyone!

And as my first post on the forum, my entry to the logo contest:

Click to view attachment

I tried to keep it clean, concise and useful in any size, if using the vector version of course

Freddy.

This competition is heating up.

The gloves are coming off and I'm breaking out the Crayolas!!!

Okay here is my entry! I don't know if it is against rules but it is one logo (just given different ideas as to what can be done with it) If I have to only select one then it has to be just the Sketchup screenshot since that one can be easily changed/given any look

I hope everyone likes it!

Who told you? I'm gonna kill him!

Beautiful design sineSurfer.

I wish sketchup could do 3D effects like sine Surfer's logo! Very sleek man...

Thought I would give this a shot. Who ever wins this is gonna be one lucky $%#@#$.
I wish every one the best of luck, some really great looking logos on here.

I won't tell then heeheee


Thanks Durachko, I could use the micRo to make that render real

best luck to all!


Freddy.

Dig the M...

Here's my entry. I went with a logo that (hopefully) can be easily & economically silk-screened onto merchandise. Good luck everyone

Is there a particular application for the logo? Some good designs for website / advertising / merchandise.

Personally this little one of sineSurfer's is the only logo so far that I'd be happy with on the unit itself. Professional tools are better off without anything flash.
