Start by checking out this video on the stories behind famous logos. While you watch, think about these questions
What are some of the inspirations behind these famous logos?
What did you learn about why some logos are simple and others are more complex?
What else caught your eye about these logos?
To dig deeper into logo design, you can either watch this video on logo rules or read this story about why certain colors, fonts, and shapes are used.
Now it’s your turn to design your logo! When brainstorming, think about:
What are the core values of your project?
What will your target audience recognize and like?
What feelings do you want your logo to express?
What colors, shapes, and fonts do you want to use, and why?
Don’t be afraid to try a few different designs—getting it right can take a few tries! Show your logo to a friend or family member for feedback, or get someone to help you choose the best version.
When you’re happy with your final design, post it on the path. Include a short video explaining the story behind your logo and how it connects to your project’s mission, values, and audience.
