Dear all,
A while back I had the idea that having some form of branding on LDraw generated
instructions and imagery (where applicable) would be a nice way to get the
message out and give a nod to the hard work of all the people involved in the
process.
The idea was to have some stamps and branding that people could add to (eg.) the
last page of their custom instructions or other LDraw generated imagery and
products. Not only would this be a way to promote the LDraw website (and through
it all the hard work that goes into LDraw) but it would also be a good way to
have some consistent ‘branding’ (and half of you sigh and roll your eyes) to
make it clear what is an LDraw product and what is made in LDD.
I asked Tyler Clites (legohaulic) to
see what he could do. As someone who has used LDraw to share his own exclellent
designs in the form of free instructions he was happy to help and produced a
bunch of excellent images. We also made some rerenderings of the LDraw 2x3 brick
and a similar but new version Tyler used to make the L in his logos.
The results are now up in the
LDraw
galleries. So if you use LDraw to make instructions or anything else then
please include them. It shows some consideration for all the people who have put
their hard work into the parts, software and other components that make up this
excellent but free library and toolset.
Tim
PS. I’m very excited to be able to present these and have put them up before
finding out for certain but the idea is that these are for sharing. I’ll post a
follow-up about the licensing when I hear back from Tyler (who isn’t a LUGNET
member).
