How was the site logo made?

You mean BZPower's logo? It's the head of Hapori Tohu, the persona of one of the founders, I believe. If you look at any of the news post threads on the forum, you'll see Hapori's profile pic with the head. Interestingly enough, the actual image uses different gear parts than the logo the site uses.

 

I don't get the "how" question. Do you mean the thing it's based on? In that case, there are some system-to-technic pieces built into a blue brick wall, with an Mata head sans eyestalk protruding from it on a 3-unit axle, with two small gears protruding one unit out behind it. As for the logo, I guess photoshop?

 

I may have only registered in '07, but I was a long time lurker before, and that has been the logo as long as I remember, so I guess it was made when Kanohi Power and Bionicle Zone Idon'trememberthethirdword merged to form BZP.

Yeah, Hapori is from the merger in 2002. He is the heart and spirit of BZPower, you know!

I don't know the exact process (obviously having no involvement with making it) but I do know that the head is roughly the value-inverse of a white Mata head.  Add a couple of colorized gears and some black borders, and after a few color touch-ups you have a Tohu.

Not only is the head an inverse of the white mata head, but the eyestalk is ice blue when inverted. Looks like a plain ol turaga Nuju head :P As far as the gears photoshopped behind it, they will have to have indeed been colourized.
