This is my stab at a paper model of the Reddit logo. The rounded shapes of the logo do not lend themselves well to papercrafting, and so a paper model will either be very complicated to assemble or inaccurate. I took the easy road and made a rough approximation, which only looks good from the front. Well, at least it’s relatively easy to assemble.
If you want something more refined, look here.
Here is a glimpse at the not so elegant backbone structure:
And here are the parts:
And here is the template (see also instructions here):
- For Corel Draw: reddit_paper_model.cdr
- As PDF: reddit_paper_model.pdf
- For Craft Robo: GSD + PDF
- As SVG (e.g. for Inkscape): reddit_paper_model.svg
Assembly should be easy: First, glue the large strip into a cylinder – this will be the “body”. The body, head, and feet are connected by sliding them into assembly slots cut into the opposing part. The head has two strips which interconnect via the same slots. They form an ‘X’ which can then be inserted into the slots in the body cylinder.
