Logos in 30 Minutes

























                                                 
     As requested, I spent 30 minutes of my day casually taking pictures of logos that I find while going through a normal day. I took these pictures on Saturday, September 1, 2012 between 2:00 P.M. - 3:00 P.M. I didn't really select these for their aesthetic appeal. Rather, I took pictures of anything I happened to find, although I found a few of these to have interesting designs. The Perrier logo is simple in it's design. The emerald background has a well done gradient with a gold trim that gives it the sign of sophisticated. The P in the lettering is especially stylized, with all sorts hooks and round protrusions jutting out. This gives the appearance of an old fashioned bottle opener. The product that Perrier specializes in producing (i.e. Seltzer water) makes the reference appropriate. The other logos include Nestle, Good Earth, Inspirations, Great Value, Visa, Il Primo, Dr. Oetker, Sun Maid, Motts, Florida Natural, A&W, Orville Redenbachers, Goya, Quaker, Betty Crocker, Cambells, Jell-O, Lipton, Nabisco, Oceanspray, Del Monte, Bacardi, Carlo Rossi, Perrier, McCormick.
My first project was about namestyles. A namestyle bears similarities to a logo, the difference being that it is made only of typeface. Symbols are not included in a namestyle. I was required to create several different designs before I finally was required to put my final design on a hard, board like surface to display in my presentation. The following picture is a scanned picture of my many designs. I have completed the final design and will show it on a later post.

Starting Up the Semester

Hello everyone. Welcome to my blog for Graphic Design 2. This is sort of a continuation of my blog for Graphic Design 1, though it is a distinct blog. Hope to post quite a few projects and updates this semester. Enjoy.
