Food, social media, locations (cities/ parks/ tourism sites), clothing, shopping, technology, entertainment, transportation (car brands, airlines, ride services such as Uber), streaming services, sports, etc.

How many variations of their logo have existed (provide photos if available)

-Upload to your student website
Part 2- Design
Once you have selected your two logos and completed your research, begin redesigning these logos.
The logo can pay tribute to past logos in both form and color scheme, but cannot be a direct copy of any past logo.
Consider things such as current trends (matte coloring, flat colors, less bright and flashy and more minimalistic, even vintage) and decide if you think the company logo should go in this direction.
You will be using the same tools as your Pokemon badge project- Selection, sub selection, shape builder, etc. You will also use your knowledge of selecting colors and finding different values in Adobe Illustrate.
