I've been thinking a bit more about the logo, and wondered if it would be better to have a single logo for the ORD Bot. The reason being that there will be only a few quantums, a lot more hadrons, and probably also many variants. So I brainstormed a bit about this logo with the following keywords:
reprap
open source
xyz robot
makerslide
FDM printer
arduino-based
precision
expandable
motion
This initially led to the following logo variants,inspired by the xyz directions and colors and reprap and arduino logo:
While simplifying the logo, using only the colors and the teardrops, I rearranged these shapes to give circular motion to the logo, which was one of the first arguments for the earlier logo designs:
And two more variants of the logo, the first opening up the shape emphasizing the aspect of open source, and the second emphasizing the FDM aspect.
I am interested in your thoughts about these.
