A good logo conveys the identity of its brand in a memorable way. If you’ve been with us for a while, you will most likely agree that our previous logo didn’t fit the bill.

Enter illustrator extraordinaire Jamie Noguchi, which you may already known from Erfworld or more recently Yellow Peril. Jamie is not only a rising comic book artist, but also very talented logo designer, with a propensity for cuteness.

We approached Jamie with high expectations and a list of everything we wanted our new logo to transmit. He nailed it in his first attempt, and after some minor adjustments, this was the final result.

Robot Comics is a big proponent of Creative Commons, and so is Jaime, whose two comics published under our label are distributed under this license. Our new logo is also available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

Through this license we invite you to play with our cutest robot yet, and share with us the results. You can start with the above image in vectorial format. The best remixes will be published in a later post, and we will let our readers vote for their favorite.

Jonathan Liu of GeekDad fame posted a comprehensive review/overview of Robot Comics as a mobile comics publisher.  He pointed out the exact strengths and weaknesses we’d give ourselves.

Here’s a snippet:

One of my favorite sources of comics for the iPhone (and iPod touch) is Robot Comics. They have a decent catalog of titles, and the best part is that most of them start off free. For comics with multiple issues, the first one is usually free and the rest are available for $.99 each through an in-app download. There are several single-issue comics that are free as well, including several adaptations of Cory Doctorow stories. (”Craphound” is one of my favorites.) When you purchase a later “episode,” as they call them, it simply shows up in the index. Each comic has its own app icon on your home screen which contains all the issues. It might be nice to be able to combine them into one Robot Comics viewer app, though I suppose the new iPhone OS will allow you to group them if you choose.

Some of the comics I’ve reviewed previously have been through Robot Comics: Erfworld and Robot 13, for instance. A more recent release is Valentine, a fantasy-horror set during the War of 1812, which was simultaneously released in about a dozen languages. I compared the English and Chinese versions, and was pretty impressed with the way both of them looked.

Thanks, Jonathan and GeekDad!  And just for your info, Jonathan (and also to you readers out there who care), a single iTunes viewer to store all the comics is coming very, very soon. So stay tuned.
