I Turned 100 Logos into LEGO
Film & Animation
Introduction
In this exciting project, I transformed 100 famous logos into custom LEGO builds, ranging from popular social media icons like Twitter, TikTok, and YouTube, to iconic brands like Pringles, McDonald's, and Pepsi. The process involved varying levels of detail, from simple single-piece representations to complex pixel art creations requiring multiple bricks.
Starting the Journey
I kicked off the project with the Twitter logo. For this, I used a single blue LEGO bird piece. After completing this simple design, I moved on to more intricate logos that involved creating pixel art on a 14x48 grid. This served as a blueprint for my LEGO builds.
Next up was McDonald's with its iconic golden arches on a red background. For this logo, I utilized curved slope pieces to give it an authentic look. I also tackled Burger King’s older logo, which turned out pleasantly nostalgic, and recreated MrBeast Burger as well.
Then came superhero logos. Using red bricks as a background, I built the Spider-Man logo and followed up with other superheroes, including Black Widow, Batman, and Superman.
Exploring Gaming Logos
Moving into the realm of gaming, I recreated the Nintendo logo with red and white bricks, and made representations for popular consoles like PlayStation and Xbox. Each took a thoughtful design process, particularly with the PlayStation logo that incorporated multiple colors.
Space-themed logos quickly followed after I constructed the Tesla logo and the amazing SpaceX logo, which featured a LEGO Starship atop its design—perfect for space enthusiasts like myself.
More Iconic Brands
As I continued, I made logos from various sectors, including the sleek Google logos for their major products like Gmail and Google Maps, and popular apps like Discord and WhatsApp. The IKEA logo was a breeze as it involved Swedish colors, while brands like Netflix and Adidas presented unique challenges.
I built additional logos from food chains like Domino's and Coca-Cola, opting for the simpler design of the Coke logo. I also created playful adaptations of the NBA logo, along with an elaborate construction for the Pringles logo using a LEGO figure's mustache.
Ending on a Social Note
In the final stretch of this massive challenge, I turned my attention to social media platforms, crafting recognizable logos for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Each logo encapsulated the essence of its respective platform.
By the end of this nearly two-week journey, I had created 100 unique LEGO logo designs, showcasing everything from tech and gaming logos to symbols of fast-food chains and social media giants. Every logo tells a story, and I'm eager to know if there are any logos you'd like me to recreate in the future!
