Geek Apparel of the Week: Brand Wars Vader and A Clockwork Beagle

?? Artist HtCRU has made a bunch of Star Wars-themed consumer logo, including credit cards, shoe labels, and more. Without a doubt, my favorite is this Atari-themed Vader logo — it’s just so simple, clever and well-designed. It’s a tad under $25 here; if you like it, you should check out his other shirts and stickers here. Thanks to Mr. Poopoopachu for the tip.

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
