For some years now I have been creating toys under the Huxter Labs<\/strong> and Huxter Industries<\/strong> names. The back story is that Huxter Labs<\/strong> (or Huxter Laboratory Industries<\/strong>) now outfits the Adventure Team<\/strong> in an unofficial capacity. And for years I have been using this logo:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So where did this come from?<\/p>\n

It is a simple evolution of the Adventure Team Logo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Adventure Team Logo is an A<\/strong> and a T<\/strong> in black on a red field. It has been in use since 1970. It has been revived in more recent years by Hasbro as a Classic Collection<\/a><\/strong> series of figures and accessories, and even used on a few Sigma Six figures<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Every GI Joe Adventure Team enthusiast knows and loves this logo. So I decided to make a logo that would evoke the original while being wholly my own.<\/p>\n

First, I removed the upright that forms the vertical part of the letter T:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then I split it down the middle:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then I flipped the right vertically:<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \"\"<\/p>\n

For the Huxter Labs Logo:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But I didn’t want it to look too much like the Adventure Team, so I removed the red field:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then decided on a blue color.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

But why this shape? Just a half-upside-down AT logo?<\/p>\n

H for Huxter:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

L for Labs:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And if I want the option to use the Industries part:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I hope that clears that up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
