Framed logic circuits for your desk.

Logic Frame Co. creates display-only circuit art inspired by classic 4-bit computers – hand-wired, framed, and designed to live on your wall or desk.

Logic Frame - Framed 4-bit computer circuit art

Logic Frame

Logic Frame is a framed circuit board that visually represents the core building blocks of a simple 4-bit computer.

Each Logic Frame features real integrated circuits, resistors, LEDs, and carefully routed wiring laid out to show how bits flow through registers and logic. It's designed as a display piece – a physical, artistic snapshot of early computing concepts, not a working processor.

Hang it on your wall, set it on your desk, or bring it into the lab – it's equal parts tech art, conversation starter, and nerd flex.

Specifications

  • Frame size: 12" × 12"
  • Components: ICs, resistors, LEDs, custom wiring
  • Power: None – display only
  • Assembly: Hand-assembled and individually numbered

Made for builders, students, and desk-setup nerds

A visual way to talk about bits, registers, and simple logic.

Inspired by real 4-bit computers

Early microcomputers used small word sizes – sometimes just 4 bits at a time – to perform arithmetic and logic. A 4-bit "computer" can represent numbers from 0 to 15 and combine simple building blocks like adders, registers, and control logic to do real work.

The Logic Frame layout is inspired by that architecture. The placement of chips and the routing of wires are arranged to echo how data would move through a 4-bit system, even though this specific Logic Frame is not wired as a functional CPU.

Think of it as a visual map of a tiny computer, turned into art.

Important note: display-only

Logic Frame is not a working computer or development board. It's a non-functional, display-only piece designed to highlight the structure and aesthetics of a 4-bit-inspired circuit.

No power is required, and it's not meant to be plugged into any devices. It's built to be looked at and talked about – not used as a lab instrument or programmable microcontroller.

Built by a college kid who actually loves this stuff

Chase - Logic Frame Co. Creator

Hi, I'm Chase – the person behind Logic Frame Co.

Chase – Founder, Logic Frame Co.

I'm a first-year mechanical engineering student at Virginia Tech who spends a ridiculous amount of time around circuits, robotics projects, and late-night lab sessions. After building my own 4-bit computer on a breadboard, I wanted a way to put that complexity on the wall – not just hide it in a bin of parts.

Every Logic Frame is hand-assembled by me: I source the components, cut and bend the wires, place the chips, and mount everything in the frame. It's a small-batch, college-dorm-lab kind of operation – and that's exactly the point.

When you buy one, you're supporting a student engineer building weird, nerdy things and trying to turn them into something real.

Hand-wired, numbered, and checked

I design each layout so the wiring is clean, readable, and visually satisfying – not just a tangle of jumper cables. Each Logic Frame goes through:

1

Component placement

Arranging chips, resistors, and LEDs to clearly suggest data flow.

2

Hand wiring

Routing wires with attention to color, spacing, and symmetry.

3

Final inspection

Checking for loose connections, weird wire tension, and overall aesthetics.

4

Packaging & shipping

Packing each Logic Frame with protective materials and shipping it out safely.

Logic Frames are produced in small batches and individually numbered, so you're getting a specific, limited run – not a mass-produced print.

How to get one

I build these in small batches, so availability may be limited at times. When Logic Frames are in stock, you can purchase securely through my checkout provider.

  • ✓ Secure online payment via Stripe
  • ✓ Orders ship from within the U.S.
  • ✓ Confirmation email with order details and tracking

If they're sold out, you can join the waitlist and I'll email you when the next batch drops.

Frequently Asked Questions

No – The Logic Frame - Series 0 is a non-functional, display-only piece. It's laid out to visually represent how a small 4-bit system might be structured, but it's not wired or powered as a full CPU.

No. It's not designed to be powered or connected. Treat it like art, not like a dev board.

Yes! The Logic Frame - Series 0 is display-only, but I plan on creating Series 1 later that would be functional. Right now I'm focusing on high-quality display pieces. When Series 1 is ready, I'll announce it in the email list.
