So...

When you hear, see, or think the word "Lego" - what's the first element that
comes to mind (any color) without even thinking?

Mine's a 2x4 plate.

  Re: Time for a change of subject
 
Most definitely 2x4 brick. Those would be in red, blue, yellow, green, brown, light grey, black, and white. I think I would be a lot happier with less colors. Before I came out of my dark age, I didn't have any idea colors other than these existed. (...) (20 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) I'm with Tim, the 2x4 brick is what I think of...then maybe the classic smiley minifig jt (20 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

1x4 brick. Sometimes with a classic headlights and grill pattern. Sort of odd, now that I think of it... -Evil Wayne (...) (20 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Minifigs. As much as I've gotten into BIONICLE, it can't undo two decades of conditioning in a mere three years, and when I was growing up, if it wasn't designed for a minifig to use, it wasn't done being built. Well, except for those odd (...) (20 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Nothing comes to mind when I think 'Lego', but I always think of a red 2x4 brick when I think 'LEGO'. ;) I also think of the classic smile minifig head, my collection, a RCX and any other 'normal' brick.

(...) "First thing" = square red/yellow LEGO logo (I'm in graphics, branding is important) "First element" = I'll go with the flow and say red 2x4 brick. - Kelly (20 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) I see, hear and think of.... A mixed pile of bricks, slopes and plates. But then that tells you what the rest of my mind is like. ;) Good topic. Thanks for something fun to chat about! All the best, Allan B. (20 years ago, 19-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Hey, When I think of "Lego", the first thing that comes to mind is not an element but a model. But you said the first element... Mine would have to be the 2x4 brick in yellow because it is the "TRUE BRICK". Wow I never thought of that before (...) (20 years ago, 19-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

(...) Like several others, it's not a specific brick....It's that 'click-click-click-click-click' sound of bricks clicking together in the 5 colors--yellow, red, blue, white and black--used in LEGO tv commercials back in the 1970's (and I apologize (...)
