Logo Making

Now that you have a name, let’s make a logo for your invention or your invention company. Spend some time looking at the logos around you. Take a look at ‘logo quiz’ app on your phone for a centralized look at different logos. Do this on a separate blank page. Use brainstorming steps to help develop your ideas. You’ll need to post all your ideas onto your Edublog.

This was the logo ended up deciding on. It was meant to be simple, but also is sort of like a diagram of what I was thinking the Invention would look like at the same time, the name would not be on the screen, however. Other things I was looking at was just having the circle, or maybe just the initials as well, the second “C” inside the first one. I was also wondering if I should change the location of the Name, or Just not having it in the logo, but I ended up deciding on this one.
