Engadget Lego Logo

You say you love Engadget, but have you built our logo out of Legos like reader Ben M. did? Didn't think so…

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

i think i could do the same thing

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Just to be nit-picky.. is that the engadget logo? I've never seen anything quite like that.. and there's no favicon.ico.
Maybe this would be a good template for a favicon?
eh? eh?

cough **lame** cough...

It doesn't light up, it doesn't use any of the Lego pneumatic stuff, isn't controlled my any of their Mindstorm kits and doesn't use a single piece of Lego technics... I could do better than that when I was 5 :)

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Yeah, your right.

I tried, but I didnt want to make half of the e in green because I ran out of blue...

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

should only be 2 sound waves, and they come off the 't' as in engadget))

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Wow, someone has too much free time on their hands. You know, with a little modification, it would be real easy to make that look like the Blue E, IE logo.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?

No?

Well then you haven't seen everything, have you?

Yeah, but then it would get corrupted with syware and have to be rebuilt. Might as well make a Firefox icon...

aren't there only 2 lines in the actual engadget logo? not being picky... just a thought

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Here's an example of the logo Ben used:

Teacher's pet...

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

thank you peter...i don't think i have enough pieces to make the entire "engadget))" logo

this was really only one of my lego mosaics- check them out on the first six links of the site.

#10 = OWNED all you nitpickers who are just pissed you didn't get your belly rubbed for sucking up. :)

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

I was told not to click the blue e.

Wow Ben, cool site. Judging from the 3rd grade homework section, you must still be pretty young :)

I wonder how many 12/13 year old engadget readers are out there... :)

Cool stuff!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

If you've got nothing nice to say....

Way cool Ben, how the heck did you get so many Lego of the same color and small size anyway? I still have my childhood Lego and I doubt if I could build one of those arcs without having it be 4 different colors.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

yep good guess im 12 :D

thx though.

well i just got into these mosaics like a month ago.

and my parents bought like three assorted lego bins when i was like 4, so i just dug them up. It was quite hard to find a lot of blue 1x3's and 2x3's.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

PixelBlocks would probably be better for these creations, I've made a great Sonic to put on my desk at work out of them. :)

I wonder what a lego Enron logo would look like...

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

it must be a slow news week.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Why can't the engadget people get this on a favicon??? I need my bookmarks filled out.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

I totally agree with #19. I'm sick of not having a favicon for engadget in Firefox!!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

raphael, Scoobydoo - how ridiculous do you feel now for hating on a third grader?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Very cool!
More power to the Lego lovers out there.
Legos rock!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Enough with this 'Legos' business. It's just 'Lego'. Like "I used half a tonne of Lego". I'm from England, which is much closer to denmark or sweden or wherever it is that Lego comes from.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Ben: The Lego think was okay, sure, but I followed to your site, and am simply blown away by the Bach .mp3. Is this you playing? Brilliant, bro.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

um thx about the instrument playing thingy will...
:?

i play violin and piano

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Speaking of the logo ... why don't you guys put the logo as the favorite icon? Kinda annoying how Engadget is my ONLY tabbed bookmark without favicon.ico ...

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

So young and so old school ... i love it.
Hope my son will become like that ...

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Ehhhm, I'm 12 but uhhh... I'm in 8th grade...

How the hell are you in the THIRD grade? (I didn't look at the site, but looked at the comments)

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

im 12 going into seventh grade...did you skip a grade or something?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

So, ummm.... are you guys gonna give him something for free?

Sh1t, if i was to suck up publicly like that, i'd better be getting something back for it!

Give the kid a Shuffle or something for his efforts =)

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Fill the rest of the board with yellow blocks!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

I with post #5. If your going to title an article with something like Lego Logo you really should at least mention the cool apple programs (and now PC I guess) that allow you to control legos via a serial port using everyones favorite beginner language Logo. MSWLogo is pretty cool tool. Mindstorms of course replaced all the control borards, but still. Cool stuff when I was a kid.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

shuffle! shuffle! Shuffle!

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

why doesn't your site have a favicon?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

david- wouldn't it be better to fill the rest of the board with white blocks? that's how it is on the engadget logo. its white, not yellow.

and i already have a Shuffle. :)

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

You have mad lego skills Ben. Those mosaics are seriously impressive. I dig your drawings too. Keep it up.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Yeh, skipped first grade.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

I'm 13 and I'm in the 9th grade... Skipped half way through Kindergarten to 1st grade so I got two years in one! :P

I think I'm the only person in my summer school class that can't qualify for a permit yet... (Summer school was awesome! I'm so happy that I decided to take an elective and have to make up a class in the summer! ~hint the sarcasim(sp.)!~)

Anyway... mad lego skils Ben! Too bad that I don't have mine anymore... not that I ever had those awesome colors though lol

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

lol i only have like six colors...not that many...

it pretty easy to build them, you just get a sprite and zoom up on it.

next im making a plate with a sprite painted on it.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

dude! those lego mario sprites on Ben's page are fuckign amazing! you've got talent, kid.

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

thank you sam

and btw to Peter: if any other blogs want their logo legoized, they can just email me a URL to a picture of their logo that is 48x48 pixels or less. NO MORE THAN THAT. joystiq was an exception. :P

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Anybody noticed the similarity of the E logo with http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000670049839/ ...?
Who was first and/or is Engadget onto a big payoff by / to Jobs' lawyers ...?

[(Unverified) Posted Dec 19th 2005 12:17AM]

Haha, guys. I PWN j00 4th graders.
I'm 13 going on 14, going into 8th grade, but I'm in PRE-CALC. I took Alg II in 7th grade.
