ideas for a technology Cutie Mark?

[RubyW32 226]

Hi guys, I need to make a cutie mark about technology for an OC, but I'm reaaally bad making cutie marks... so.. could you give me some ideas? I'd really appreciate it

Hello @RubyW32,

 

Just letting you know that I have moved your topic to a more appropriate section -- Original Character Help.

Hmmm, how about a gear, maybe?

[Darkly SteamGear 110]

gears are soooo mainstream. use a circuit board or a microprocessor cutie mark. now that would look pretty cool

Is there a specific branch of technology your OC specializes in?

What are these "circuits" and "processors" you speak of?

Well, it's not my OC. My friend told me that she likes techlonogy... that's all :/

Might want to ask her if there's a specific kind of technology the OC specializes in and choose a Cutie Mark accordingly.  If it's technology in general, I would suggest, say, gears or wires connecting by a thin lightning bolt?

If you're applying for an EE character, keep it canon. The most advanced tech I've seen is steam technology. Maybe something steampunkish?

I would certainly not suggest a circuitboard, but the lever activates the fan into which Tank is about to fly. I would think that they have access to some form of electrickery running through wires, even if not very advanced. We also see electric lamps in another scene within the factory.

 

Of course, my knowledge of steampunk is rather limited, so if this is still indicative of being steampunk, I apologize.

maybe something relating to one of da vinci's contraptions? I mean it does all depend on what type of technology your oc specializes in when it comes down to selecting this sort of thing. : P.

What kind of tech are you looking for?

 

If computers were canon, I'd recommend a computer cutie mark.

 

If not, gears or a switch might work.

 

Or a wrench, perhaps?

[Kagami-sama 320]

Circuit board, mouse, keyboard, monitor, microcontroller, logic gate, plug, c++, binary, transistor symbol.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

 

*OH! USB symbol! There you go.

I don't know but maybe if they're fast their cutie mark could be Sanic. And no, i didn't mean to type Sonic.

[Gold3 36]

What about a TV screen or a power point or even a USB stick?

[gamecubeguy214 2,512]

If you're talking about specifically internet, then use a dank meme for a cutie mark. For technology in general, use an Android robot, phone, keyboard, or charger.

[Vulcan 3,254]

Steam engines look pretty sick.

 

Multimeters are commonly used in building/fixing electrical devices(computers,calculators,phones, tvs).

I don't think I've seen anypony use it yet.

Nothing says tech than gears. If you don't want that try a hammer, wrench, screwdriver. Cutie Marks are supposed to be obvious and not specific/complex. Like on first glance you can figure what the pony is all about in an instant. And also the Cutie Mark shouldn't be a picture that could appear like something else like if you make a smokestack nobody is going to figure what that is some might think it's a kettle or a volcano on first glance. Also don't take real life into account too seriously, the picture should appear cartoony to a certain extent. Like how most gemstones don't look like the ones on Rarity but that is the cartoon version of them.
