Logo Project

1) I had a lot of good fun creating my logo. It was a slight challenge at first to come up with what I wanted the logo to look like. After I got it going however it was a blast.
2)I had to take some time to think about my logo. I had to think what I wanted it to say about me as a person. I wanted to convey the right message efficiently. I used colors that have had personal meaning as well as colors that would be aesthetically pleasing to a viewer.
3) I realized during the creation of my logo that it isn't very simple to create a logo. A lot of thought goes into the creation and it isn't just as simple as a quick sketch. I discovered that I have more layers to myself than could possibly fit into one work of art or logo.
4) I didn't think about how when creating  a logo you need to take into consideration the places where the logo is going to be. The material that the logo is going to be printed on is vital. The video 'What is a Logo' was what got me thinking of this aspect of logo creation. In the powerpoint I learned about Emblems and I thought it was interesting that emblems mainly show up on flags and clothing. I enjoyed the slide that said "a good logo is like setting the foundation stone for a good brand career" and i completely agree. After all who could take a company with a logo of for example, a cartoon smoking, as a serious business?
