Creating a Logo and Poster Designs to keep our Earth in mind! – Never Refusing to Reuse!
“There’s nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind.”

Allowing young minds to Build FUN Economical and Functional Toys!
Recyclobot is a fictional brand created by our group for as a training exercise to allow our Designers the chance to show off their Technical Illustration combined with their playful graphic design meant-for-kids.
Additionally, this brand of educational toys that teaches kids ages 6-12 how to build their own robots from recycled materials. The toys are designed to be fun and engaging, while also teaching kids about the importance of recycling and sustainability.
Recyclobots kits come with all the materials kids need to build their own robots, including recycled cardboard, plastic bottles, and metal cans. The kits also include instructions and step-by-step videos that make it easy for kids to follow along. Once kids have built their robots, they can customize them with their own designs and creativity. Because the robots can be used to play games, solve puzzles, or simply be displayed as works of art. This shows a great way for kids to learn about recycling, sustainability, and engineering. They’re also a lot of fun! So if you’re looking for an educational and eco-friendly toy that will keep your kids entertained for hours, Recyclobots is a great option.
Our Client
A project ready for fun!
The Recyclobot Logo & Poster Design are fictionally created by our group for training and the case study has been utilized for training. The mission of Recyclobot is to create a monthly mail-to-house subscription services that sells build-it-yourself toys made from uncommon recyclable items (provided by the brand) and then built from your choice of our recommended household items that you can reuse! Each box will feature a different toy and parents can select their box and toy of choice monthly to arrive to their doorstep. Each month Recyclobots will release a new toy with a detailed illustration and poster for use after build.
Our Group uses these exercises for training and were given a timeline of five-weeks to build the first prototype, from start to finish. Each designer recieved certain tasks and were tasked with developing the Toy, creating a logo for the brand “Recyclobots” and creating a technical illustration on how to Build the toy (done with Adobe Illustrator), and create a business card with their name on it and the Recyclobots logo and Value Proposition.
The Challenge
How our Designers approached – Saving the earth, one toy at a time!
The Reclyclobot Toy Brand Logo and Illustration Poster require a lot of moving parts and have many stages to their developments. The first challenge was to research the market, conduct an analysis and Brainstorm the logo, toy, and color schemes for the logo. While one group was developing the sketches and then illustrations for the Recyclobots Logo and color pallets, our other group began collaborating and sketching the layout for the Poster and “How-to-Build” technical illustration.
Project Details
After our research and development process, the designers of our group wasted no time in pulling out their sketch books to begin putting their brainstorm ideas on paper! Our designers then picked the top 3 logos and began the refinement by building rough drafts in Adobe Illustrator

How We Prepared for Sea!
Design Tools & Skills Utilized for Logo
During the Research and Planning stages of this, our Photographers kept busy at work setting up the studio and planning their Product Photography shots of the clients “must-have” featured products.
Heave the lines and go! Lets make a Logo!
While our designers are busy sketching for the Reclyclobot Toy Brand Logo and Illustration Poster, another group is tasked with deciding colors for the logo and toy ideas that were brainstormed.
HEX Color: HEX: 96d0a1
The green color chosen is to display the eco friendly and earth-conscientiousness mind-set that Recyclobot tries to emit.
HEX Color: 976eb0
The purple is chosen to show the quality of our product and our dedication to fun, imaginative minds that seek to create a better future for our earth while building fun tuns with repurposed every-day house hold items.
Our designers developed over 20 different versions, and presented the top 3 and then began the coloring process. To the left you will see some of our various color processes that were attempted.
Design Tools Utilized
This logo took the group just under 2 weeks to complete from start to finish. After the logo was completed, the group began focusing their attention on the developing toy. A Tugboat named Tim Brody aka TB-12.
Tim Brody (TB-12) – The Tugboat Recyclobot
The group came up with a tugboat as the design, and used a Pop-tart box, the bottom of a Chinese take-out dish, and 2 different colored duct tapes and straws and the primary Recyclable toy materials. TB-12 is designed to inspire and educate young minds on how important Tugboats are to not only our environment and at-sea transit system, but it’s an incredible feat of technology!
Let’s go to Sea with our Photography!
The Technical Illustration for Recyclobot!
During the build process of this Tugboat, the group took very detailed notes and dimensions of each material that needed to be provided in the box for the children and also what types of materials were commonly found in the average American house-hold that way every child can have the same fun opportunity to build an amazing Toy that promotes keeping the environment healthy!
Business Cards for Recyclobot!
