Logo Assignment Part1

Assignment 1:  The types of Logo’s go to types of logo’s or  types of logos
We will only break them down into: brandmark, wordmark/letter mark, combo mark

Begin this assignment by thinking of at least 5 different hobbies or interests. Sport, Cloths, Gaming, Food, Animals etc.

Next, think about a type of company that would make one of the products or services that you included on your list. For example, if cupcakes are your obsession, choose a bakery. If your itunes library is larger than most people’s hard drives, choose a record label.

Once you have selected a business category, search online and create a collection of at least 10 logos from different companies within your 3 of your company category. For example, if I chose a clothing company, I would collect logos from companies such as The Gap, H&M, Banana Republic, etc. The logos should be pasted into Google Slides, one slide per category. (slides 2-4) Also separate them into lettermark/wordmark, Brandmark or combo on each of the slides.

From your collection of logos, choose two logos (one for each slide 5 and 6) that you like the best and write an explaination as to why you think its design is good representation of the company.
