Creating A Logo


Now that you have studied a little about the use of color, some graphic design principles and how to use graphics in Word, you are ready to create your own business logo! Utilize the concepts you’ve learned, in addition to the following logo basics.

Logo Basics
An effective logo will:

  • look good in a variety of contexts, for example, on a printed page, in an advertisement, on a screen or on a billboard
  • be simple (but powerful)
  • accurately represent the image of the business
  • convey an instant message
  • be memorable
  • be clearly identifiable in black and white as well as in color.

Read the following article and take some brief notes. Title this assignment “Guidelines For Selecting Logo Design” and add this to your assignment log, in your class binder, for an upcoming notebook check.
