Botbot, the toy robot museum, offers guided tours through the galleries...

as well as age-specific classes that teach kids and adults about robots. The goal being that
the museum patrons will eventually learn how to make their own toy robots in the future.

the name game
Botbot. The name “botbot” came from the concept of modularity, which represents the forms
and visual elements that make up most toy robots. Botbot is fun to say and simple to
remember, which helps further instill a few of the museum attributes.

“Alphadrome Home of the Robots” is one of our competitors, their name is not simple or easy
to remember.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
and the other competitor worth mentioning is the toy robot museum in Pennsylvania
direction one
This is the logo mark for the first direction of museum branding. The rigid structures and
inclusion of a wrench speaks to the aspect of building. The forms are simplistic and the mark
is easily remembered.

Photographs will be transformed into high contrast, black and white images with a blue color
shift. This “simplifies” the images, and the
Sunday, October 10, 2010
color palette is simple. The blue is a fun, youthful color, where as the black and white help
keep the palette from being too childish.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
The font choices are super simple and are easily read.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
Here’s what the whole system looks like when it’s all together.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
These are a few buttons that could be implemented into the museum ad campaign
direction two
The second brand direction is based off of these logo marks. They are simple, fun, easy to
recognize, and their general square form helps make them modular.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
The base images will be old tintypes of children. The images have a natural sepia tint to
them.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
the color scheme will be derived from the natural tones in the images. The black and white
will be replaced by a dark umber and the white will be replaced by a light cream.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
The logo marks will either be super imposed and integrated into the tintype images, or
Sunday, October 10, 2010
they will be integrated via pattern. The face interaction is just another fun direction and the
pattern represents the repetitive/modularity of robots.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
The type is a little more “classical” which speaks to the past that the museum is hoping to
showcase, but it is still simplistic.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
This is the logotype. This is a simple and fun mark that is kid friendly.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
Photographs will be more nostalgic in quality, black and white, with the icons and logo mark
superimposed over the photo in an interactive fashion. This speaks to inspirational aspects of
the museum as well as the fun/interactive/and simplistic aspects.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
again the type is speaking to the past with the headline font, and the simplicity and ease of
the museum activities is represented with the main body copy font.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
apart from the gray scale photographs, the main color will be a goldish yellow with red and
black as secondary supporting colors, they’re energetic colors that break up the monotony of
the black and white photographs.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
This is possibly how the body copy could interact with the imagery in something like a
magazine ad.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
a magazine advertisement
Sunday, October 10, 2010
a sketchbook that could be purchased in the gift shop that would facilitate children drawing
their own ideas
Sunday, October 10, 2010
and a business card that could showcase the overall simplicity of the brand.
Sunday, October 10, 2010
I believe the simplicity of forms and ideas interact well together and best represent the
overall brand attributes of fun, simple, and kid friendly, as well as secondary attributes such
as “speaking to the past” (through the use of headline fonts) and interactivity (through the
hand drawn icons superimposed over the photos.
