Robot logos

[Libby K]

In the past, we've done fancier stuff, mostly in Photoshop, but for teams who don't have editing software I highly recommend PicMonkey or Pixlr for graphics.

This year we simply chose a 'cool font' for Knightmare, our robot name - in this case, it was called Evidence.

We stick pretty well to a cohesive brand standard for our team - all of the students involved in website, graphics, media etc have a list of the right fonts & color codes to use, as well as graphic elements - so as long as whatever we design aligns with that, we're golden.

I'll attach last year's robot logo (MKI:X, for our tenth year) and Knightmare (2016)'s.

I don't have any Logos I've created on this computer; I will post them once i get access to them.
Usually we use a combination of Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator to make any of our logos and graphics.

We love using Illustrator because it allows our images to be scalable for use in giant posters.

another program would be GIMP.

GIMP is amazing, and free. It has a steep learning curve though. Paint.NET would also be good, and is easier to learn (from what i have heard.)

We made a logo for our robot this year.

I used Photoshop and illustrator to make it.

I see others have recommended free photo editing programs.

My recommendation is to get a team Creative cloud subscription and then give select people the credentials. There is an academic discount and after that it becomes very affordable. Its definitely worth it to have the right programs to do the work instead of constantly having to find free alternatives.

Last year we made a logo for our robot. Our leadership was convinced that we should look cool (It didn't matter, we still sucked). Unfortunately I do not have a picture of the logo. It was made by a member of our leadership and it was (I kid you not) Our robot's name (Clawdius Seizer) in black text with what was clearly the Nvidia logo with a quarter cut out on the top left of the text.

We don't have logos, but they're always typeset the same way (ITC Machine, to blend in with USC athletics.)

(Sandstorm I had it but I don't have a picture handy, and a panel was made for Sandstorm III but we kept losing the panels because they weren't attached well enough for the rough game. Whoops!)
