Nice Autumn Day


The summer before my oldest sister moved away we went to our lake house over fall break. Nothing was better than being with my family, just like old times when we were jumping off the dock into the lake behind us. I was the perfect, peaceful setting for the perfect picture.

Opinion on 5 Logos

Everyone knows what this logo stands for when they see it, everyone also wants to have this logo. The Apple logo does hold 2D design as they added shade behind the first layer of the apple. This logo is good because oh course the company's name that it is representing is called "Apple" and the logo is an apple but the logo does not hold a common outlook of an apple. This logo has creativity that is simple but you can't think of the company Apple without this sign, that is what makes a good logo, when one cannot think of a company without thinking of the logo( or the other way around). This logo is simple it is one common shape and is displayed with one color. This apple is very benefitical to the company because it is simple enough to place on any object but can be still dignified as the company Apple. The target audience it very universal, the apple is so common that kids, young adults and older adults even understand what it represents. I agree this logo has done a great job at targeting a universal audience, because now a days it is not uncommon for a child to have a cell phone or computer of some sort and they want the best and sharpest thing and that is exactly what people view "apple" products as. The color of this logo is perfect, it's not bright and grabby but it is sharp and classy that shows that they do not need to be obnoxious to let people know that their product is the best. The logo is versatile because it takes a shape of something that is very common and known to people of all ages and it is such a basic color that silver will never go out of style. The logo is very memorable because it is so simple but complex at the same time involving the bite that is taken out of it, pretty much saying that everyone wants a piece of this company.

Dole is a company that is seen selling fruit juices and bananas and ext. Dole did give off the 2D effect because they display the sun that is in the "O" overlapping it as if the sun is coming through. For this logo if the sun was not in the picture I feel that the logo would be simple but since it is the logo, atleast to me, holds a complex look to it that kinda in a way displays organized chaos. This logo is very benetifical to the company because it gives a sort of happy, lively feeling that pretty much explains what the company wants each customer to feel when drinking their product. The target audience are parents because it is not a fun-kiddy logo that makes little kids automatically get it but the logo screams that it is heathly and for kids, which is directed to the parents. The logo is saying "give your kids this to have a happy, healthy day". The logo is very successful because as young adults, you look at apple juice and see that logo you think of the childhood days and happiness, which makes you want to get it for your children.The color scheme is very good because they are not off, shy colors. They are bold which is the whole vibe that the company wants to give off. The logo is not versatile to me, I think that in time the colors get more brighter and more confident. As time goes on I feel that the logo needs to change with how the generous now grows up to attract to. The logo is very memorial because of the bold colors and when you see that on apple juice you just know that it is going to be good. 
Every kid has grown up seeing this logo on their toys that they use to play with every day. This lego is the toy of every child's childhood no matter what generation. This product made present shopping for children easy, that is what makes this logo good. The logo does not has 2D design because it does not display to coming towards you. The logo is simple it has three layers of white, black and yellow reading "lego", in a red box. It is simple enough that alot are able to create. This logo is benefitcial to the company because when people see this logo on products for years it has been trusted so the new products with this logo on it can be trusted as well. The targeted audience is children which this logo has been very successful viewing that mostly every kid has played with legos atleast once in their life. The logo is bubble letters and fun. The red and yellow also are known to be children colors because they are always dislayed in kindergarden and preschool related objects. The lego is simple and child-like. The colors, similar to what I said earlier are great because they want to get the message accross that this company is for children and those colors have been known to relate to young children. The logo is versatile because the colors are simple basic colors that never change throughout generations and it is in a square that is a basic shape, it says it is basic but fun. It is easy to remember this logo because it is so basic, with the colors, four letter name and square.

This logo will never change, is have been known and admired for generations, so yes this logo is very versatile. We see this "S" displayed in a diamond and we know it is superman. No design is not 2D
the "S" is not popping out at you. The logo is simple, to me.All it is, is a "s" that fits inside a diamond. It consist of two basic colors red and yellow. This logo as all logos does benetifit this network that it stands for. When one sees this logo that know who and what it represents, that is what makes a logo benetifical, when you can look at it and already know what it is about. The target audience is young boys. The logo is tough and playful, it attracts the minds of the young noys that all believe they have superpowers and all they want to be is a hero. The logo is very successful at attracting the targeting audience because I have seen many clothing that has this symbol displayed on it and bed sheets, pillows, ext. This logo is very easy to display on anything no matter what size is needed. Which that reason right there is why this logo is so easy to remember because it can be put on any type of product, so it is is common to see it.  
 

Yes this logo has 2D design, this logo jumps at your and has a real life human shape. This logo is a good logo because it displays exactly what this company is trying to say. This drink is refreshing, always cool, fun, fruity and will chill. That just screams at that target audience of children on a hold summer day after that afternoon outside game all the kids want to do it run inside and get a chill, fun drink that is fast so they can go back outside. This logo is very successful at targeting that audience because I like many other grew up on kool-aide and always loved trying the fresh new flavors. This logo is very complex, it holds a lot of detail to the character that makes it so realistic, as if it was an imaginary friend that many children want to have. The colors choosen are good but to me they give off a hawaian vibe, which is okay but kool-aide has so many different flavors that seeing this one would really make me only want the pacific cool flavor. This logo is definitely not versatile because right now this applies to the little children now but every generation is getting more complex and has lost its simplicity and with that the logo, being a human like figure, has to change with the human like of that generation. However this logo is very easily remembered because it's fun free spirit that this cartoon makes and you are not used to seeing logos for snack drinks like this one.

Roll in Stile Logo





This logo is for a company called "Roll in Stile". This company is co-owned by Cassie Seager and Diane Stiles, my mother, they just recently started this company of baking many different types of amazing tasting rolls. One of their best offered one is the pumpkin roll, so that is why I related the rolls displayed above similar to a pumpkin roll. The reason behind the name is I wanted to give off a fun-fresh vibe but let the owners know when they hear that name they are always part of it (stiles). The color scheme that I chose was based on a warm feeling that you get when you eat something fresh out of the oven, always hot. That is why I stuck with the soft browns with the breading and the steam and the off tan for the cream. However I wanted the name to really stick out but still hold that right-out-of the oven feeling, that is why I choose a brick red, it is bold but not too cocky. Also I wanted to give the roll a more realistic feeling so I added texture to the breading and a soft knife texture to the cream. To create this logo I drew a lot of stretches below is just one of many ideas for a logo that I created.
