1. Discuss what you thought about creating your logo.
Creating my logo was a lot of fun. I had so many ideas I was actually having a hard time capping it off. I carried my sketches around for a week asking friends and family which one they felt represented me the most and yet the responses were all mixed. The results actually did not disappoint me though because it only meant I did a pretty good job at creating a logo that suits me well.
2. Describe the process: creative thinking skills and ideas you used in the logo creation.
The first sketch I made was of the word “happy”, using letters shaped like puzzles because putting puzzles together is my number one hobby. I later felt the letters looked more like “Legos” and I wouldn’t get my point across. I then created three more sketches using the letters in my name to represent three separate themes. The first one was weather related objects because I’ve always wanted to be a meteorologist, followed by a sports theme, and finally a holiday theme sketch because I love, love, love every holiday and the activities that follow. My final idea was to use another uplifting word that symbolizes the optimism that I try to have throughout life. I chose the word, “Joy” and made the letters out of flowers, another personal favorite.
3. What was the most important discovery you made in the creation of your logo?
The most important discovery I had was that it’s amazing where a little creativity can take you. I often enjoy drawing but the hardest part for me is what to actually draw. This class opens my eyes to different and exciting things that I normally would not stumble upon otherwise.
4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos, powerpoint, and reading material fro this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
I learned that a logo is not only about the image, but that designers have to take into account the many materials that it will be used on whether it be plastic, clothing or metal. I though both videos could have been more exciting had they used an example of a company that was more familiar to our generation. For example, it would have been interesting to hear how the “Nike” symbol came about or how and why the Buffalo Sabres logo has changed over the years.
Below are links to my sketches along with my final logo created to symbolize me! :)
Thanks, Jess!!
It was interesting to watch the transformation your sketches went through before reaching your final logo. All of the images you chose represented "happy" things which was the original word you chose. So although the word itself is not there, the images you chose styaed true to your original idea. This is cool!

ReplyDeleteThis painting was the first thing I saw on your blog and I instantly though about Dali. Then I saw that you also commented on that! How awesome. Looks like you had tons of fun at the museum great job!
