Behind the Design – Spencer Sy
Robots have been with us for decades and they usually represent the future and technological advancement. My fondness for robots started when I was as a kid watching Japanese Transformers cartoons and playing with the toy robots I had. I’ve always enjoyed rendering those metallic, shiny textures in its almost human form and thought it might be unique to have social networking robot icons.
Prior to getting the final design, I would start out with sketches, which was the difficult part. I would start by visualizing the pose and stance. Then comes the fun part; rendering the vector illustration of the robots. It is a wonderful feeling seeing them in their finished form. These icons take about two days to complete from the sketch up to the final finished form. The robots were designed to be different so as to have a bit of human movement and flexibility instead of the usual stiffness we are accustomed to. I hope you enjoy this set of robot icons and get that “robotic feel”.
