The owner's request was quite clear:
I admit, i am not a designer
The challange would be to have something with Gundam, GIT and something funny.
(the octokit logo is kind of that).
We could think like a git-gundam looking like a rockstar like Metallica

As in any project I did my little research, the truth is that I did not know it was Gundam, yes, maybe many are surprised but the Anime is not my strong even though I see some. When knowing what it is about a classic anime series, where there are giant roborts my path was clearer, also observe the Octokit repository.
More than a logo, clean and minimalist this is about an illustration, which has many details. But this was it. I was inspired by Octokit and two images that I present below.

The first thing I did was to determine the shape of the body, the shape of the head is similar to that of octocat of github while the body is similar to the collectible dolls Funko POP !. This, as I said, was only for the body and the position it would have, the armor was a challenge for me, I mainly used the two images of inspiration to create it, besides I did not want to do something like Octokit, after 3 hours or so I did it. I think it has been one of the most difficult jobs I have done because the illustration is not my strong point.
I think the final result is quite interesting, and the owner liked it very much, I managed to create something different and unique, maybe it does not reflect what the project is about, but is a request by the owner.
The typeface I use is called Manilla Cellos, it's quite modern, but it has a bit of rebelliousness like a rock star.
