Unused logo for the Advances in Social Robot Navigation Workshop. We had a “temp” logo already …
… and I was supposed to do a new one. I futzed around a good bit with sketches and DALL-E/Midjourney …
… but didn’t get anything quite close enough to use as a base with generative AI. So I sketched and instead came up with the design above. But when I went back to render my design …
… I found that liked the temp one better because it incorporated the colors and logo for ICRA 2025:
However, I didn’t want to just give up; I wanted to do the work to help the team make a concrete decision. My wife vetoed the hands holding the peach as being too suggestive, so I did a partial render of this version:
At a meeting, I presented my various designs and recommended NOT doing further work to render one as I thought the existing logo was working just fine and was already in the right color scheme, etc. The team agreed with me, so we put a stake in this one and I moved on. It left me more convinced that once I move past the drawing portion of this exercise that I want to dig in to both Adobe Illustrator and color theory.
But, it was Drawing Every Day 95, and today, April 4th, is Day 95, so I’m posting it. Note that it was drawn on February 16th, almost a month and a half in advance. That means, even though I was not able to blog per se during GDC, I was nevertheless able to build up a huge drawing buffer and have managed to stay ahead of the game – (30(m+1) + d + 7) – a month and a week ahead, as of today.
It’s a good feeling.
