LogosDescriptionI have created three logos for the same company, Wolf Muay Thai, a f ictional martial arts

club.

DateJune 8, 2014


Programs/ToolsI used Adobe Il lustrator, especial ly the pen tool in creating t hese.

ObjectivesCreate three completely different, original logos to f i t a company or personal image that

wil l appeal to the audience.

Use only Il lustrator tools to create and draw logos.

Gather opinions from at least ten people about which logo appeals to them most.

ProcessTo create these logos I used several different fonts and the pen tool to create the

outl ine of the wolfs head. I found this image of a wolf onl ine and just outl ined it and

then fi l led in the colors. In the f irst logo I used t he shape tool and l ine tool to add

emphasis to the ti tle and graphic. In the last logo I tr ied to only use typography, so

to add interest I changed the shape and length of the T. However, I found that most

people did not enjoy this. The first logo was the most l iked amongst my peers.
