Google images






Image of lego robot: This lego robot talks, and when you stick the lego ice pick in its eyeball it shuts up









Cool Logo: Nascar logo




The colors don't mean anything




The reason i like it is because i'm a huge nascar fan



















































If i had to create a logo for myself it would be brown and green- it would have my initials in it.






I would make it this way because brown and green are football colors and that is my favorite sport









Static cling: my static cling would look like the viriginia tech logo. It would be marroon, orange, and white. I would do this because i like virginia tech and i think it would be cool to have.
