*Bell Work*A Logo Must Be...


Before you design a logo, you must understand what a logo is, what it represents and what it is supposed to do. A logo is not just a mark – a logo reflects a business’s commercial brand via the use of shape, fonts, color, and / or images.
A logo is for inspiring trust, recognition and admiration for a company or product and it is our job as designers to create a logo that will do its job.

1.Write down 2 different things that describe what an effective logo must be:

example:
SIMPLE

A simple logo design allows for easy recognition and allows the logo to be versatile & memorable. Good logos feature something unexpected or unique without being overdrawn.

Straight to the Point!- no extra design/simple
Original-Should be your own design
Repeat-the concept or idea
Revolution-color/symbolizing
Shape-shape of logo itself/texture
Value-lights and darks to show interest in specific areas
Variation of pattern and color-keep it interesting
Hook-something to grab your attention
memorable-something that makes people remember it later
Relate to what the company actually does/type of company/main idea of the company or group
Idea of the logo size font color symbolizes the company
Artistic-draw in people using the elements and principles of art (represent in a positive way)
Timeless-should stay relevant
Catchy-when you see it you should know it
Should represent the brand
Creative-draw people in by being different than others
Different-should stand out from others selling the same thing
Simple- gets the meaning across clearly
Know what company does by what the logo shows
Motivating-to get people to buy goods or service
Straight to the point-be simple to know what it is advertising
Neat and organized-easily see what they are advertising


 

2. Find a company logo that you feel is effective.  In a short paragraph explain why. Minimize the picture of this logo on your desktop so we can take a look as a class.
