Logos

On this page you are going to see the all the logos that this class has been working on and finally made. Making these logos took a lot of work but turned out perfect! On this page you will also see the steps that we took to complete these logos and a reflection of what each person thinks about the final product. Have fun! =]

[|Dani's] steps to making a logo...



 * I completed the packet of tools so that I understood how to use each one
 * I made 6 designs that I could possibly do in freehand
 * I chose the logo that I decided to make
 * I then opened freehand and started to draw my logo
 * First I drew the heart, then I drew the horns, then I drew the tail, and then I drew the halo
 * When I was finished drawing my logo I tried to fill in (color in) the logo, I realized that I couldn’t because I didn’t draw it with the pen tool
 * I then went over the whole shape with the pen tool and then filled it in
 * After I filled it in I did special effects, the only special effect I did was making the halo have a glow
 * Then I put lines across my heart
 * Between the lines I put the letters D.A.N.I that then made my name!

Making my logo wasn’t as easy as I thought I would be but it also wasn’t that hard. Some parts of making it were really easy for example: making the halo and putting the glow on the halo. Some parts were O.K I thought that having to go over the whole shape with the pen tool was really annoying, getting everything even and to look like I wanted it to look was not the easiest thing… but hey! Well I finished my logo and it is completely perfect for me!

Steps To Make [|Sam's] Logo Come True:



 * My first step for starting up my logo was making the face of the smiley.
 * I started off making 2 lines out of the pen tool and by using Freeform I made them curvy for the smile.
 * After I finished the smile I went up to the eyes and nose I just used the pen tool too, and made the lines thicker to make it look popped up.
 * After I was done making the ‘outline’ of the smiley I put in the color.
 * Afterwards I made the 4 curvy lines under and above the eye.
 * I put my name in each teeth that the smile had and made it 3-D.
 * Then it came the frustrating moment, making the puzzles pieces, I started of by making a square and using Freeform I made the pieces.
 * After I made the pieces I put color in them blue and orange and then I made them 3-D with a little bit of shadow to make it more interesting.
 * After this I added the text ‘Pieces if Life’ with different colors and 3-D stars.
 * After EVERYTHING and the final touches were made I made the frame just three colors like my smiley so it would match.

Making this logo was easy except that some parts were not even or not how I would like them to look like. For example when I started off making the puzzle pieces they looked horrible but as I got use to Freeform, I got the hang of it. Finding things weren’t too hard; it was just the fact that you had to explore before you started. Even though, I thought my hard work was worth it and my logo came out perfect and good enough!

Making this logo was really fun. It was not to hard at all exept for some little details. Making the logo I made the skeleton which was the hardest part and then the colouring after was really easy. I wish i could make another logo like this since my skills of freehand have increased.
 * 1) The first step I took was to make the basic skeleton of the guitar using the pen tool.
 * 2) After I did that I started making the basics of the Dutch and Malaysian flag.
 * 3) Then I started to add all the details.
 * 4) Then I was left with an uncolored guitar, it was almost like a drawing template.
 * 5) From now on it was really easy I just filled in everything with colour and I was done.
 * 6) Then I had to export it into a JPEG, which is really easy you go to export, at the bottom select JPEG and press export now your totally finished.

Making this logo was challenging. First I did not know what tool to use,, and which makes it look better. I needed help ALOT but now, if I had to make another logo, I don't think I need help much. But again I would need help! Duh!
 * First, I made the moon and the bats.
 * Next, I used the pencil tool to draw the fox. I wanted to fill it in, but unfortunately, it didnt work. Ms. C said that I should use the pen tool. It is very hard to use in my opinion. IT TOOK ME AGES!!!! Then I filled it in with purple.
 * Then I used the pencil tool to draw lines for the eyes. I filled it in will silver.
 * Then I used the bend tool to bend the fox's tail, ears and face.
 * It was too plain, so I took the pencil tool to draw curvy lines on the fox's tail.
 * Then I typed out my name near the fox's mouth so it looks like it is howling it.
 * DONE!

 * The first thing i made was the heart with the pen and mirror tool.
 * Next, I made the candy cane with the pen tool just so i can fill it in later with a color.
 * After that, I made the oval for the candy with the pen tool.
 * Then I put the triangles on the oval part.
 * I added stripes to the candy.
 * After all of that, I went back to make everything look pretty, I put text on the candy and the heart, filled in the candy cane with a color, and finally made a 3D effect.
 * AT LAST FINISHED, that was fun!

 * The first step that I made in my logo was draw the flute (without the designs on it)
 * Then, I drew the necklace. That was the easiest part, as I just copied and pasted the circles.
 * I then drew the keys and the mouthpiece on the flute, and adding a smaller circle in the middle of the keys.
 * Next, I added the details on the flute that reflected my personalities.
 * Now this is the fun part... I colored all the details and designs in, and added special effects to make it look better.
 * The bad thing was, I found out that some of the colors wouldn't fill in so I had to outline most of them with pen. Now it can fill in!
 * Now, my dream logo is finished!!

My logo was quite challenging to make, but at the same time, I learned and enjoyed from it. As I tried some effects, I found out what each tool did. Also, seeing my logo build up from paper to a Freehand logo was really amazing to me, as I thought that I could never do that. If I made this logo again, I don't think that I would need much help as now I know what to do. It was really fun to make this logo and I am satisfied with it!

 * It took me a while to decide what to put on my logo but eventually I settled with my 3 favorite sports hockey,soccer, and American football (I've lived in the US for 2 years), it says Stars on the hockey puck because my favorite hockey team is the Dallas Stars. I put the Swedish flag on it because I'm Swedish and I put the Malaysian flag on it because I currently live in Malaysia. I put the 1993 because I was born in 1993.
 * I got that shape from a different logo that I saw on the internet that I really liked.
 * I choose green as my background because it really makes it stand out, in my rough draft it was gray but it looked really dull with a dark color as the background.

The reason I chose my design to look specifically like this is because it had factors which represents me e.g. red necklace, I like wearing necklaces and red is one of my favorite colors and shampoo bottle, I am famous for washing and caring for my hair the most! I made my logo like this also because I want people to recognize that it's MY logo.
 * Firstly, I used the pen tool to make and fill in my shampoo bottle design black
 * I then made white stripes on the top part of the bottle so it looks broken but it's actually attached (in an abstract form)
 * I then drew a body of a girls back
 * I made long wavy brown hair for her as well (to full fill the purpose of making a shampoo bottle)
 * I made a ribbon hanging around my shampoo bottle which has my name on it
 * I repeated red 3D pearls to make a necklace hanging on the shampoo bottle

[|Grace]' logo
 * First, I made a plan about my logo, and started to work on that.
 * Then, I used Freehand to make basic things.
 * So, I made a star first to make it easier, because the star was the outline of my logo.
 * Next, I filled colors in my star and made my star more like 3D.
 * At last, I wrote my name with a pen tool.
 * Making my own logo was little bit complicated and very hard. First time, it seemed very easy to do those things, but while I was making my logo, I realized that it was confusing and difficult. However, it was very fun to make logo by my self. I felt like a designer.
 * I think that people should try to make their logo and I ‘m sure that they will have lots of funs.

The steps to make this logo: 1. I started off with a few rectangles, and then made the edges thicker and corners rounded. 2. I used the pen tool next, to create my name, some complex figures and the numbers and also to make the whole picture look 3D. 3. I wanted to make a round-cornered triangle but it wasn’t possible so I had to make a sharp-edged triangle. 4. I filled in the rectangles, triangles etc. and changed most of the line colors. 5. I placed all the shapes where I wanted them to be. 6. Then last but not least I used the 3D Rotate to make it look like the top-left hand corner is popping out of the paper.

Making my logo wasn’t as easy as I had thought because although it is just shapes, it still has some hard stuff which took me while making it. Some of the ‘hard stuff’ was making the letters because even though it was just lines it still had to be perfect.

How to make [|Iqmal's] logo....



Here are the steps I took to create this logo:

1) First, start off with the background which is just a circle filled with a light blue color to represent the sky and that I like the outdoors. 2) Next you have to make the fox. The fox consist mainly of lines curved. So just use my logo as a template of what your making and it should be pretty simple. Be sure not to use the pencil tool or the line tool but the pen tool because it would help you fill in the fox later and it can bend the lines for you! 3) Finally the Malaysian flag on the bottom (which represents where I’m from), is one of the easiest parts. Just like the fox, use the pen tool to create it and remember to curve the lines! The design is pretty simple. Use the polygon tool to create the star and the pen tool to create the rest. Enjoy making the logo!

Making the logo wasn’t as easy as it sounds. Sure it’s basically just lines, but I had to make the whole thing twice because I made it using the line and pencil tool first. I think my logo turned out much better than expected but the most important thing is that I enjoyed creating this logo!
