Cosmobot (aka: Robotman/Biotron) in Tom Geismar’s Collection

Sat Jun 13, 2009 5:44 pm

Kind of old link, but just found it again so I'm sharing. Tom Geismar is a well known graphic designer, whose firm Chermayeff & Geismar has created memorable logos for Mobil, PBS and other U.S. institutions.

And he owns a fairly rare variant of Robotman/Biotron called "Cosmobot". It was a semi-knock-off version of the robot released as part of the "Inter-Changeables" line. Pictured here in the WIRED gallery of his stuff that was part of a show in Seattle about a year ago.

Nice to know this guy has fans in the classic design world.
