"This design was rejected because the generic visuals and errors failed to capture the true essence of 3xtraorDnry Prints. It lacked the unique character and precision required to properly represent the brand."

"This design was rejected because it focused too heavily on traditional art rather than the unique combination of art and 3D printing that defines the business. By prioritizing paint visuals over the core technology, it failed to capture the true essence of 3xtraorDnry Prints."

I realized the 'Original Mr. 3xtra' was too generic, relying on a chef-like appearance that missed the brand's spirit. This sparked a creative evolution that produced the true mascot—defined by a friendly, lovable face designed for instant connection."

"We call this concept 'Getting Warm'—it was a solid attempt, but on his own, he resembled a scientist or doctor rather than a maker. He needed something else to complete the identity, so while he wasn't the final choice, this character remains a possibility for a future storyline."

"We call this phase 'Getting Warmer'—we actually started building the 3xtraordnry 3D World around him. However, the look eventually felt off, and we realized his clinical style didn't fully capture the essence of the brand."

"We call this phase 'Heating Up'—a great attempt that aligned perfectly with our vision by introducing the 3D printer. While the details weren't quite accurate enough for the immediate launch, this design remains a strong concept that we may revisit in the future."

"And then, there he was—the 'Winner.' This final design perfectly balanced intelligence with approachability, capturing the exact friendly face and spirit I knew the world would fall in love with as the official Mr. 3xtra."

With the logo design finalized and well-received, the brand's identity felt solid and tangible. This positive reception affirmed that we had something real. The next logical step was to bridge the digital design with our physical capabilities. After all, what better way for a 3D printing company to celebrate its new logo than by bringing it to life

"The first physical print of the logo was a total failure—a reminder that innovation is rarely easy. We didn't let the mess stop us, though; we simply kept going, refining the process until we got it absolutely right."

"We finally nailed the design and adopted this as the original brand logo, but physics had other plans. The complex geometry proved too brittle in reality, constantly breaking in the middle and forcing us back to the drawing board to master durability."

"Even though this print was a technical fail, it became the solid foundation we stood on. It was the pivotal moment that pushed us to do more, proving that our vision was real and worth perfecting."
