Scalable LEGO brick labels in SVG

It just looks amazing when things are neatly organized, so of course, I wanted some crisp-looking labels for my drawers with LEGO.

There’s a cool solution for those in possession of an actual label printer, but since that isn’t me, I needed something a bit more “generic”.

Having flirted with Inkscape in a previous lifetime, I turned to SVG.

At Brick Architect by Tom Alphin you can find labels that fit well with some printers made specifically for labels. The source graphic hides deep in the downloadable files as old-school bmp image files, but their resolution is not that impressive.

Since my LEGO collection is fairly modest, I only need labels representing overall categories like (normal) bricks, plants, tiles, plates, etc. With Inkscape and heavy inspiration from Tom’s work, I have recreated six bricks in SVG.

Since others might be in the same boat as me, I thought I’d share my (manual) work as a zip file.

From what I understand, Tom uses LDraw to create these files for the label printers. I wonder if I can leverage LDraw to generate SVGs as well.

But that is for another day.
