Logo Project!

1. Discuss what you thought about creating your logo.
I really had a great time coming up with an idea for a logo, and the creating the logo itself. At first it was hard to come up with something that was simple and could describe me. But after some thought and sketching, I am really happy with my end result.

2. Describe the process: creative thinking skills and ideas you used in the logo creation.
At first I made a list of possibilities, this list included music, dance, ice coffee, books, sleeping etc. Then I narrowed it down to music. I started to sketch from there using my tattoo (treble clef) for inspiration. As each drawing progressed I figured out where I would like to place things, and how it should flow.

3. What was the most important discovery you made in the creation of your logo?
I would say the most important discovery was the fact that a logo needs a central theme and it needs to flow. You can't just throw together your favorite things and expect it to look decent. You need to narrow down your ideas, and make sure that everything works together, and that it is simple and visually appealing.

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?
I think  that the most important thing I learned came from the video. I was thinking to myself that this client was really hard to please. I loved the design that looked like splattered paint. But when the client said that it needs to work across a spectrum of mediums and needs to be more simple, it made sense to me. Sure the paint splatter looked awesome, but it was not business like, and a logo must fit the company/person/idea that you are trying to market/express. I really liked the video, and I felt that it really helped me understand the importance of creating a logo, and how to go about it.
