Rough Looking Logo

This is my first draft of my logo. I am still deciding on the name and a saying of some kind. 

I am really stuck on what the business name should be. 

Faith. Hope. Love. Kappa Alpha Theta.

This is the Caligramme Apollinaire I made. It is about my sorority. I really had no idea what you make for this project. I do not have any main saying and picture I could use. I originally thought of going a slurpee because I was craving it at the time of making this project. But then I took some time to think about it and what is important to me in my life. So I came up with my sorority. I chose them because I am a sister for life and wether I am doing something now or in the future, wether I want to be or not, I will always be a Theta. I will always wear my badge proudly and always remember the values that I learned from them. So as you can see it is a kite. The making of the kite was not too bad. It was a text square that I changed around to be shaped like a kite. The tail was a little more difficult. I wanted it to be a curvy line because that is how most kites are. So I used the line tool to make the points of the curvy. Then I used the text on path tool to make the text follow the line. When I clicked on the line to type it out. The words started in the middle of the line so I had to change around where the line was and where the turning points were. I had to play with it a lot because I could not figure out some of it. I decided to leave the color black because Theta is classy and formal and black is a very uniform color. I changed the font of the tail because I always like writing faith, hope, love and Kappa Alpha Theta in script on all my pieces of paper. 

Faith. Hope. Love. KAO.

What Will Bring The Clients In?

I chose to work off of Extreme Health. I am still working on a name and thinking of what to make it. 

The Logos Of This Century

Here are the effectiveness of logos of today. 

This is one of my favorite places in the world. Jimmy John's. There logo is very plain but says a lot about the company. The first thing you see is the bright red JJ. The red makes it stand out against the black. The letters are also big and bold which helps because you can see it from far away. The next thing you notice is the Jimmy John's, so now you know what the JJ stands for. At the bottom is says 'Gourmet Sandwiches.' This is good because it states what kind of food it is, it doesn't have people guessing. By saying the year they were established it shows that they are not new to the idea of making sandwiches and can make you a good sandwich. I think its effective because the black and red stands out together.

This is my favorite golf ball! Taylormade is not special. It just says what the company is. The T is different which kind of draws your eye to the product. Also, the name is not very hard to remember. I think its pretty effective because it stands out among the rest when looking for something specific in a golf store.

Oh! True Religion. The only jeans I wear. There symbols is very interesting. There name is on the top which helps quickly see the name of the company. Then it says 'Brand Jeans,' which is cool because you know what the product is. Then there is a Budda. He is kind of the mascot to True Religion. Then the rest of the logo is kind of like a ticket that you would get to go to a concert. I think its pretty effective because the true religion stands out and the mascot is funny and interesting.

This symbol is very effective. Everyone knows the Nike symbol. Since we were all little kids, the check would always mean Nike.  And of course the 'Just Do It' saying they have. This symbol is effective because it is simple and easy to remember when you are going to buy the product. 

Nikon. Yellow makes it stand out a lot. Then there is a the name on top of the yellow in black which makes you look at the symbol. The lines in the back is affect as well because it makes you read the name from left to right. Also, the lines make it look like its moving which helps you look at it. I am not sure how it is effective or not because unless you know the name Nikon, you would not know that it is a type of camera. 

My Company Ideas.

The next step in this adventure is making a fake company.

The Sports Arena. From bike riding to fishing to golf. This business will be like your typical sports store. It will have everything you need to participate in any sport.  Anything you can think of for sports it will have it. The sports store will be one stop shopping for all your kids need to shop. 

The Pet Sitter. From dog to fish to even a lizard. This business will take care of any animal for any amount of time. Someone will be there 24/7 so incase anything happens in the middle of the night, there will be someone there to take care of you animal. 

The Straight A Student. This business will be a tutoring center. It will take care of the typical student having trouble in math to helping students pass the SAT. It will work with students of every learning style. There is one on one tutoring and group tutoring. 

Extreme Health. This company will deliver healthy food to college students. It will supply them with any meal needed. It will be open 24 hours and students will be able to order food at any time during the day or night.

Greek Hang Out. College greeks are always looking for a place to hang out and be with other greeks. This place will be for greeks only. They will be able to study, hang out, or eat. You will have to show that you are greek before entering. This will be a good place for other greek organization to collaborate on ideas or start talking about a new social to plan.

I am not sure which company I will pick to do a full logo on. 

The Golfer That I Am

For this project I decided to make a golf scene. In this scene a golf ball just landed and the golfer just watched the ball land. There is a golf cart in the scene because the golfer is lazy and needed to ride the cart. In this process, I drew out what I wanted the scene to look like. I ended up switching around the scene a little. Originally I had the golfer at the bottom of the hill and then flag at the top and the ball was flying through the air. I also started from the grass at the bottom of the scene and then worked my way up to the sky. Then I drew everything that went on top of the sky and road/ grass area. This piece consists of a lot of rectangles and lines. My piece is successful because I think it shows what I love to do.  Also, it tells a story of what a golfer does regularly. FORE!
