My employer, Engine Yard, gave me a chance to make a logo out of LEGOs for our new office. This is the result.
The whole piece was built over a month and is made up of 8,000 or so pieces. No glue was used and it is completely self-supporting. The entire piece is six studs wide, and all of the letters stick out two studs out to give a real shadow. I thought about using gray pieces, but that would have been too much work and would be a bit tacky. The entire piece measures about 36″ long and 26″ wide and weighs about 30 pounds.
