changing the fablab wall-logo
On a rainy thursday afternoon, I decided it was time to change the fablab wall logo that was hanging on the hallway. I discussed this with the well-respected manager Alex, and to my great pleasure he agreed.
Previously, the wall signature looked like this:
I wanted to use birchwood for it, and I wanted to cut it with the laser cutter.
The only restriction I had was that I wanted to use the shape of the current logo, because was already
connected to the wall.
First, I made the frame for the logo.
Then I sketched the shape of a little man, hanging on a balloon. The frame was going to be the place
for the face. I used Adobe Flash (c) for this, because I feel comfortable sketching in this environment.
Now I exported this file to Adobe Illustrator (c), and I cutted out the model using the laser cutter.
The .AI file can be downloaded below.
