Little Box Of Ideas

  Like a lot of you, I saw "Wizemark" on all the logo haunts that logo designers have on the interwebs in early 2009. And that is how I knew him. Then he did something extraordinary in early 2010 that changed my life. He started the 365 Logo Project. He along with Melanie Matthews, who

I am still at it, if anyone was still wondering where all my vector characters had disappeared too. Just not finding the time to post them everyday. This weekly roundup is an experiment with conical and tubular shaped heads and body perspectives. This week I have no stories to share, but I have fun names

   Days 108-114 Character Names – Tunka, Tri, Sqa, Cica, Ulgi, Krunkle, Pinkston Froth I said I wasn’t doing storylines for these set of 100 characters. But boy, does my mind have a mind of its own. When I was doing this roundup, I couldn’t help my brain from concocting tall tales to place around

   Days 101-107 Character Names – Rami, Trippo, Gaff, Ludwig, Vaclu, Ampra, Tuski 100 characters later, I decided to change things for the next 100 characters. I will be now doing weekly roundups. I will still be designing one character everyday but only rounding them up at the end of the week. The characters still

   Day 100 – Neb Neb is a power star. He can spin and generate the energy of a 100 suns. He is one of the million odd star sprites living in a closed star shaped nebulae off “Buzzno”. And then there were 100! Gosh, what a thrill ride these 100 days have been, went

   Day 98 – Stinga Stinga is an alien jellyfish floating through outer space. He has lost his charge and can’t crackle and snap like lightning, the way he used to. He is on a quest to get his sting back and is hunting for “Buzzno”, the only planet in the universe that has any

March was a busy month in my Vector Character land. I had at least 5 days where I was totally stumped and had to sit for half an hour to collect my thoughts. I wonder if the inspiration gets harder to come by as the days progress. I find creating the vector characters quite a

   Day 96 – Fifi Fifi is the prettiest ballerina in the robot town of “Tip”. She practices everyday from morning to night. Her dream is to be as light as a feather and not make any clankity sounds when she goes up and down on her big clunky, metal toes. Time Taken : 30

   Day 95 – Ringer Remember Boothman?? Ringer is the master calling device, the only one he trusts to be there for him and his Boothmen. Ringer looks lazy and half asleep, but don’t be fooled by his looks. It is part of his deception strategy. He can dial any number faster than lightning and

   Day 94 – Peddler Blink Peddler Blink is Riko’s latest finds. On one of her recent adventures with her pet tree Bark, Riko found a unique transportation device that went as fast as it blinked. It also changed colors from red to green when it started moving. She was so happy to have found

   Day 93 – Prong Prong is the oldest and the naughtiest expression sprite of all. He is forever upto some godforsaken mischief. On one of his mischief missions, he broke a huge fork and stuck the prongs on his head after painting them red. That is how he got his name. He is a

   Day 92 – Black Shade Black Shade has to work very hard to glow at night. His black, polka dot riddled body doesn’t reflect much light and that is not a very good thing for a lamp shade. When he scrunches his eyes shut tight and concentrates real hard, his nose glows a bright

   Day 91 – Mancha Mancha the chocolate chip cookie looks like a ghastly Halloween monster, a failed experiment at Le Coco, the quaint little chocolate shop where Bon Bon Bonita and Delica live. He wishes someone would decorate and spruce him up so he could be a Christmas or Easter cookie! Time Taken :

   Day 90 – Lota Lota is a pale pink little lotus bud that lives on Slime lake. She doesn’t have a pad to sleep on and feels very vulnerable when the dark green waters shimmy and roll at night. Legend goes that there is something very sinister lurking in the depths of the lake

   Day 89 – Kap Kap, the brown mushroom can hop really high on his strong little stumpy stalk. On a lucky day, he can bounce right upto the top of the tall trees. He does that often to try and get out of the maze of the dark, dark woods. Sometimes when he bounces
