RedBubble


RedBubble Thursday (and Logo Design For Food)

The Logo

As you’ll remember from this we set Xavier the challenge of redesigning the logo on pain of biscuit deprivation. However the sneaky man went vegan at about the same time just to thwart us. But he still came through with the goods, which now adorn the top of every page for a day or two.

I, for one, think it reeks of awesomeness.

And all he used were these, in fact, only about two of these:

And to show that he’s not wasteful, after the shoot, he then proceeded to make two huge toasted sandwiches, and promptly ate the logo:

He was extremely encouraged by all of your support, and thanks you. However at the time of going to press no one could comment on whether he had scrubbed his feet or not.

The Competition

In other news, the new Compassion competition (and group) has been launched, and Gaia has been closed.

Other things

We didn’t quite finish the other big things we were working on this week, but we’ll have a special RedBubble Wednesday this week (due to Anzac day).

Reminders

There is only one week left before this awesome t-shirt concept disappears forever, go improve your wardrobe.

    Wasn’t going to post that but ben jumped in and made it.

    Darren, of course. I believe that sandwich also had sweet potato, red onion, spinach and pesto in it. I’ll probably switch back to pumpkin next week which will tide me over until avocados come back in season.

    im craving a tomato sandwich now! very creative X, a shock to the system tho when not expecting it! lol should have read the redbubble wrap first! lol

  • reflexio

    reflexio

    Vave cheated, he used the same tomato 3 times for the B, and two times for the E.

    I think it is appropriate that each and every letter is unique!

  • Xavier Shay

    reflexio, I actually made another B but it didn’t really look like a b so I canned it.

    I hope it is only temporary … I just got my website finished and really don’t want tomato letters. Funny but not as classy as the original … please bring it back.

    Now im wondering what it would look like in Kiwi or Dragon fruit maybe star fruit, Even trying the old food pressed in paint on paper. But me thinks toasted with Brie, walnuts an grapes much nicer combo.

    Where did you get the inspiration from just out of curiosity

    Brilliant work Xavier… Seeings as you have nothing better to do with your time other than make yummy looking logos for bickies (at least they’re Arnotts!) maybe you could do us a new logo each week? You could slice up red jelly beans next time! Then raspberries, strawberries… or any other red foodstuffs!!

  • Scott Ruhs

    Nope, don’t like that logo at all, sorry! IMHO if a logo includes the name of the company it should be clear what the name of the company is. That could just as easily be read as REO BUBBLE.

    not to be insulting, but that’s the ugliest thing i’ve ever seen. hard to read, not professional. i think there are better things to concentrate on.

    If this is not an innovative twist of a salad logo. I wondered what the logo was made of at first. Never thought tomatoes were artistic pieces of fruit. Well done.

  • George Lenz

    it’s not very professional for a top of the line site like this… especially after winning Webby award..I hope they get real and hire a pro to design a new logo…. if they need one…. what was wrong with the old one?

    Hehe! Ok Xave … next challenge, hmm … now repeat it using the nice, ripe AVOCADOS you are waiting to come into season.

    Actually, having said that, did you know that Avocados, organic chocolate (or carob), and rice syrup (or honey if you’re into bees bums), all mixed through a blender make a really great base for a cool vegan version of chocolate mousse!!!! YUM!!!
