[SHORT TRIVIA] Hobby Alley's "I'm a GUNPLA BUILDER" Logo
I created the logo during the pandemic... May 28, 2020 (based sa timestamp ng mga files ko). It was originally "I'M A COVID-FREE GUNPLA BUILDER" pang-remind sa ating mga hobbyists to stay safe during the pandemic and be covid-free. A month later, nagkaron din ito ng side-mod na "I'M A COVID-FREE GUNPLA MOVER" naman as a tribute para sa ating mga matatapang na riders (Grab, Lalamove, Mr.Speedy) na nagpipickup ng orders (kasi puro store pickup lang nun, walang walk-in) still during the pandemic.
It had several iterations and usages: FB Profile Photos, Button Pins, Pocket Calendars, Lanyards, Stickers and other Hobby Alley paraphernalia and freebies.
Disclaimer lang na nindi po pagmemay-ari ng Hobby Alley ang word na "GUNPLA", "BUILDER", and lalung lalo na ang "GUNPLA BUILDER". Back then, wala pong AI Image Generator, It was a simple design lang that I've created using my BASIC PHOTOSHOP skills with a publicly available font and a consistent WARM YELLOW and WHITE font color combo.
Will Hobby Alley "try" to register this logo/trademark (not the words po)? Hmmm... MAYBE... in the future and sana ma-approve ng Intellectual Property Office, same sa logo ng shop na registered na since 2025.
We just hope na pag nakikita nyo to, it will remind you of us. And sana you had a piece of our history somewhere sa mga baul (may naitago ka man lang ba?).
Yun lang... Ma-Gundam Gabi po!
