A look behind the Comic Con emoticons with their creators from Play Imaginative

STCC Logo - Icon

 

What was your inspiration?

The STCC Logo is primarily a cube with many facets. In our mind, we thought that the simplicity of the shape allowed it to be modified, transformed or dressed up to take on a multitude of interesting identities. Since we are covering a whole bunch of genres at our show, this gave us an opportunity to be wild with my choices of characters for the emoticons.

 

How did you choose the characters?

Our choices were basically iconic characters from popular comics, animations and movies. We tried to choose those which are easily identifiable at a glance. To further develop the emoticons, we associated familiar traits of each character with the emoticon

 

Why do they start out blank?

All the emoticons start out as a blank cube, and allow you to watch them unfold, morph and come to life as something entirely different. The idea is to include an element of surprise every time someone uses the emoticon.

 

Which are your favourites?

We have quite a few, that we use internally amongst ourselves in the office. We love using the 'lunch/gingerbread man' right before lunchtime. We also love the 'poof/ninja' and 'fly/iron man look alike' ones for the slightly more elaborate animations. Some are simply cute, like the 'flap/penguin' one!

 

Will you do more?

Definitely, if time permits! We originally drew a whole bunch of other characters but they never got animated. Perhaps, next year! :)

The first-ever Singapore Toy & Comic Convention blasts into town!

 

The first-ever Singapore Toy & Comic Convention has officially taken off!


Last month, event organisers, PI Events, held a dynamic press conference in the playfully art-clad setting of Official Club Partner, The Butter Factory, on Thursday 17 April 2008.  The colourful event saw executives from PI Events, the Singapore Tourism Board, Media Development Authority of Singapore, and Animax Asia, express their enthusiastic support for this exciting pop-culture extravaganza, as well as pose for photographs with iconic comic book characters including Spiderman, The Joker and Darth Vader! The press conference served as an exclusive first glimpse of all the event attractions and highlights to come - at the Convention in June.
