late company .

Programs Used: Adobe Illustrator

Course/ Instructor:Comm 130 Section 7 Nichole Nugent

Objective:Create three completely different, original logos to fit a company or personal

image that will appeal to the audience. Do not imitate existing logos or use

previous designs.Market research: gather opinions from at least ten people

about which logo appeals most to them.Use only the Illustrator tools to cre-

ate and draw your logos. (No Illustrator pre-fabricated flares, symbols, etc..

No photos or live-tracing. You may use an image or drawing as a guide to

trace it with the pen/pencil, but delete the image before submitting.) Refine

one logo with variations for color.

Process:I made this project in Adobe Illustrator. I first drew the tux with individual

lines and than merged them together into one shape and filled it. Using the

line tool and the text tool I completed the design by creating a tray and sen-

tering the text on it. To create the variations I changed the color of the bowtie, added a red box behind the other and changed the elements to white.
