Logo

1. Discuss what you thought about creating your logo.

I will never be a graphic designer - this is not how I think. I had a harder time coming up with an idea than I did drawing it out. I chose this design because I do embroidery, belong to several guilds and have, on occasion, sold my work. So I thought about what I would want to represent me, what idea I wanted to get across and decided that I wanted folks to know that my stuff is hand done rather than machine embroidered and came up with the idea of an old fashioned embroidery hoop and material. I added my name so that it would double as a name plate at guild functions.

2. Describe the process: creative thinking skills and ideas you used in the logo creation.

Not sure how to describe the process. Once I knew what I wanted it worked up fairly quickly. I used one of my embroidery projects as a model for the hoop and material and decided that I wanted the needle to help spell my name as if I were still embroidering it.

3. What was the most important discovery you made in the creation of your logo? That it was not as hard as I was building it up in my mind to be.

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 second video was ok...they seem to have their own way of looking at things to make their logos tho, like they can distill the concept of a company down to its most abstract form. The reading material I found hard to understand and the powerpoint was not helpful at all.

The first video angered me~ really angered me that these folks think we all have to abide by the tenants of their religion and think they have the right to impose laws on the rest of the world that are in line with their religion. I am glad that the cartoonist has the guts to say that he will not do things differently because if they win at this I fear for what The Islamists will try to impose next. Yeah, getting me on this soap box might not be the thing you want. Sorry.
