Brickspace through the ages

Welcome to the second celebration post about Brickspace's history.

Brickspace's logo has remained quite consistent, but one of the novels features of the blog was the different versions of the logo, to reflect current events like Christmas, or Obama's inauguration. Below are some of the best Brickspace logo variations.

Guy Fawke's Day, 2008

Hallowe'en 2008

Christmas 2008 (there was also a special bottom divider)

Easter 2009

Remembrance Day 2008

President's Day 2009 (with Lego creation by Brickspace staff member Zack)

The Brickspace logo, with its distinctive cube-and-rectangle graphic, is very versatile, as you can see above. However, with the new Brickspace 4.0 Flash animated logo, events like Hallowe'en or President's Day are harder to celebrate, because a lot more work is needed to create a special banner, re-upload it, then re-embed it into the site. At christmas this year, there will be a special banner, but sadly these won't come as often as they used to.

You may be looking at the logo and thinking: 'hey, that's not the Brickspace logo'. Well, in June/July 2009, Brickspace changed into its fourth version: Brickspace 4.0. This brought with it a new, friendlier-looking logo, without the harsh capitals of the previous logos.

The Brickspace 4.0 logo had only one other variation, for the launch of Lego Games:

That was the only variation of the new logo, for in August came the Flash animated Brickspace banner and the fun variation of the past was over. Even still, a whole new period had started for Brickspace: with a new, better-looking, easier-to-navigate site.


Stay tuned for the third celebration post!
