Logo Research Assignment
Logo Research Assignment
The Lego logo was originally created in 1934. The logo differs from the current logo because it has color, the font is different, the size and overall shape is different. The only element that the logo kept from the 1934 logo to 1998 is that the lego letters are still all caps and it has been all caps over the years. The elements that define this logos DNA is the shape of the letters that they tried to keep throughout the years but their graphic elements really changed during 1953 overall. It fits in with the second catagory because from 1934 to 1964 the logo used 2 type faces mixed together. It fits in with the third catagory also because the logos from 1936, 1948, 1953, and 1953 all use an art element.

LOGO DESIGN
Why vector art- We create logos as vector art because it is flexible, powerful, and easily edited this is important when clients want to make changes. Vector art can be scaled up infinitely without losing quality.
Pencil to vector- Creating a logo design requires many phases. Many meetings and review sessions are required to arrive at design that works. Converting a simple pencil sketch to vector art requires establishing graphic style, color, line, shape and typography.
Final art- will it be sleek and technical and sedate, will it be cartoony.
Line quality- Line quality refers to the smoothness and precise nature of your lines. We use the pen tool to create perfect lines. Take your time with this part
Line shape- If you have line art in your logo your line shape is important. Do you want an artistic look to your line.
Color- color makes a huge difference use colors that are appropriate for your design.
