Fry Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 How and when was the site logo created? Quote Visit my Bionicle 2001 site recreation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pohaturon Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 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. 1 Quote Stone rocks Model Designer at The LEGO Group.

emily Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Yeah, Hapori is from the merger in 2002. He is the heart and spirit of BZPower, you know! 1 Quote believe victims. its actually not that hard, and youd look kind of bad if you were to, say, side with an abuser because theyre your friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I think the "how" question is asking more about what sort of software was used, which I have to admit would be interesting to learn. Tohu's been the logo since well before I was here. Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bfahome Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Tie Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 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 As far as the gears photoshopped behind it, they will have to have indeed been colourized.
