What makes a good Logo

There are several things which make a good company or product logo.

 

• Simple design
• 2-3 Colors
• Good text to picture scale
• Recognizable
• Original.

These five main points to good logo design can be seen in multiple logos.

The Mcdonald’s M

The Nike check mark

The Coca Cola logo

All these logos contain 5 points of good logo making.

Icon Reflection

 

Desktop Wars

       A mini strategy game that you can play with multiple friends over the internet.

It is a Macintosh with a Mini-gun and tank treads. It is self explanatory that it is related to combat. 

The design of this is strong, however, I believe with more time I could make this slightly more photo-realistic.

 

                                                                              Portal

       A highly graphical file transfer program.  My favorite icon.

It is showing a portal pull in a folder filled with files like a black hole.

One of it’s strengths are the morphing done to make the folder look like its getting the spaghetti effect from a black hole. I cannot see anything that can be improved on upon this.

 

                                                                    Notebook Operations

      An advanced organizer with the ability to send files with one click, look up words, and a graphic user interface.    

The icon is to show organization and a clean design.

I believe that it’s strengths are its interesting design based off of shapes, However it would have been better if I could have made it more photo-realistic.

 

Probably the most challenging part of this project was finding a good idea to work on. Once that was completed the rest of the project was easy.
