Logo

So there are two class reps for my class (3D91) who act as messengers to the administrators if we have any concerns/comments/criticisms that should be passed up. Our class reps (Marcela and Josh) are trying to make the class come closer together and bond so that we can ultimately be able to collaborate together better.  The tighter we are the better our work will be because we will feel more comfortable asking each other for help and feedback.

One way the reps think we can do this is by creating an identity within the school. They decided that we needed a class logo. (They made an announcement in class about it and the instructor was really happy and proud that our class is trying to become such a solid group.)  They made this like a contest. So whoever wants to participate will make a logo and submit and we will have a vote on it on Friday. There were no specifications about what it should look like or anything so I went home and started brainstorming ideas.

My first instinct went into designing something with a rocket in it. I think it may have been the large amount of Futurama that I have been watching while in Canada.  Here is my first concept drawing (click on the image to make them bigger).

I thought it was a good start but I wasn't too keen on it. So I reworked it some and I came up with this.

I really liked this design so I took it and started doing a much more polished outline of it.

And then I added some color and a space backdrop.

I really liked the way it looks, except that when I think of a logo I think of things that are rounded. Almost like they can fit on a pin or button. So I rounded out the space around the image.

Then I thought maybe there is a way to make the rocket POP more than this. So I finally decided on making this my final design for my logo.

I think the final design makes it look as if the rocket is actually coming at you. I'll let you know what happens with the results. Let me know what you guys think. I bid you farewell. I'm going to be late to class!
