Logo Design

1. Discuss what you thought about creating your logo.
 At first I had no idea what I was going to do for my logo.  When I was thinking about it for the first time, I came up with logos that, I found out after, were too complex.  I tend to make things harder than they are suppose to be, and I did that again with this project.  Once I got a better idea of just how simple the logo was suppose to be, I started to get lots of ideas.  I ended up really enjoying what I created a lot more than I expected I would.

2. Describe the process: creative thinking skills and ideas you used in the logo creation.
 In my final logo, I went with two G's, a crown on top of the G's, and three curvy lines on the ends of both G's.  I chose two G's because of my love for gaming.  In gaming, the term "GG" stands for "Good Game".  I chose to put a crown on top of the two G's to show my determination in the form of winning.  I chose three curvy lines on the ends of both G's to show my love for music.  In music, there are notes which have tails or flags on coming off of them.  The curvy lines I had drawn were meant to look like those flags.

3. What was the most important discovery you made in the creation of your logo?
 The most important discovery I made in the creation of my logo was what the different colors represent in logos.  I never knew that the color yellow meant optimistic, red meant excitement, blue meant trust, and green meant peaceful.  Those words are the reason I chose the colors that I did for the different parts of my logo.  Music is peaceful and helps me relax so that is why the curvy lines are in green.  When I play a game, I get really into (excited) and my teammates are counting on me to help us reach our goal.  This is why one G is red and the other G is blue.  Lastly, the crown is in yellow because I'm always optimistic even when there shouldn't be any hope left.

4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos, powerpoint, and reading material  for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?
 The most important information I learned was that a logo is suppose to be simple in order for it to be mass produced easily.  If I didn't know that then I would've had a logo that was way to complicated.  Also, the process of creating a logo helped me put all my different qualities together into one logo.  Once I wrote down different things about myself, then I figured out what a great logo for myself would be.  I felt that the videos were interesting to watch because they helped me to understand what a logo really is, and how much thought goes into making them.
