I created a 3D version of the Steel City LUG logo using LEGO parts. To expand upon this, I suggested that LUG members could each make a version of this logo using any color scheme and we could stack the colorful logos to make a Warhol-esque collage.
I reconstructed the build in LEGO Studio so other people could follow it. I have not made step-by-step instructions, I think that might be a a painstakingly long process.
The minimum build would be the front two walls with the words STEEL CITY and LUG. If the logos are to be stacked, then the back walls, which are mostly solid colors, could potentially be omitted for individual logos.
Also for logos in a lower layer, the top of the brick and the studs need not be built. The footprint of the full design is 30×30 studs, the lid is 28×28 and the four top circles are 8×8.
Let me know if you would like me to share the .io LEGO Studio file with you. Anyone with a copy of the file can use LEGO Studio to adjust the colors and the parts to suit their own build.
Count me in too @greg
@gabevistica and anyone else who wants the file, I can attach it in an email if you send me your address through the private messages here or contact me directly at my misterlorax account on Google mail
I forgot to include another way to make the 8×8 circles which represent the four studs and top of the 2×2 brick; it uses 16 of these Brick, Round Corner 4 x 4 Full Brick
this was easier than I had anticipated, copying the design I already had instead of trying to use the Stud.io instructions
The color choice depends somewhat on having inverted 1×2 slopes. Also, plates for the Steel City side are really useful, but I didn’t really need trans red plates on the LUG side.
What colors are other people considering? @randomdan @willmcdine @gabevistica @knb112 @bacon1986 … I’m thinking about blue and orange
Interested. Sending a PM. Was thinking red/green as well, but might do some other winter style since its been done.
For those building their own custom LUG logo, I have a new design for the roof of the brick which enables attaching the four circles that represent the studs on the top of the brick. The original design just covered the top of the brick with tiles. The new design has strategically located studs – see the photo below.
I topped the Christmas themed brick in white.
I’ve been trying to find cost-effective options to tile the yellow 8×8 circles but have not been successful; the white 8×8’s might eventually be tiled with concentric curved tiles.
I might finish the other two sides of the brick with the same STEEL CITY and LUG patterns and buy a motorized rotating base for it. 💡
Another display option involving a rotating base would be to keep the two blank sides (or omit them entirely) and stack 8 or 12 of the bricks together in a 2×2 configuration.
Now I’m wondering how doable the rotating base would be in a Technic…
Krista mentioned navy blue and white … possibly influenced by collegiate allegiance.
Perhaps 😉
For those who prefer to build bicolor 8×8 circles with the diagonal orientation that appears in the original logo, I’ve attached a design below using jumper plates.
Now I’m wondering how doable the rotating base would be in a Technic…
I have built technic mechanisms for rotating LEGO before but I’m considering a cheap Amazon product to rotate a single block.
1. My next color scheme is going probably to be red and gray, unless someone else is planning to do the same.
2. I am wondering if @tfdesigns or someone else would consider doing a Mondrian (see image below) version of the Steel City LUG logo.
this is about what I expected: rotating logo video
Sorry, a bit late catching up here. I am still debating on a color scheme. I’m in the process of reorganizing my back log of parts so I will ultimately settle for whatever colors I have the most of.
Sometimes it’s okay to have no color scheme
I love the rainbow warrior style. good job!
I think a classic space design of the LUG logo with light bluish gray, blue & trans yellow would be great to have for displays. One limitation however is that most of my trans yellow parts are plates.
I’m wondering how to incorporate trans yellow and some classic space components, ex. radar dishes on top. For reference, I’ve attached images of completed versions. I’m open to suggestions @randomdan, @tfdesigns, @everyone-else. Thanks!
P.S. I’m happy to send the LEGO Stud.io instructions to anyone interested.
