Logo Design
Sketchbook Question:
When you think of a logo, what is the first one that comes to mind?
What about that logo sticks in your mind, jumps out at you, or helps you remember it?
If you made your own version of this logo, what would you change and why?
Make a small sketch of it.
Pair Share:
Team up with the student next to you. Review what you wrote about for the sketchbook question. Together, come up with 2 things that you think are the MOST important for logos to have.
THINGS TO REMEMBER:
1. Clear & Simple Message
2. Make it UNIQUE!- You want it to STAND OUT!
consider your colors, shapes and patterns
3. Functional in multiple forms/colors- business card, shirt, etc.
4. COLOR is IMPORTANT! Logo Color Choice Video
Every color sends a subconscious message
* ALWAYS check your logo in black and white to make sure it will still work*
5. Consider your FONT!
It needs to match the colors and tones of your overall logo.
6. Shapes should be used to create balance
(in your image and make the logo more versatile.)
