Logo Design Lesssons
When it comes to logo design - there are tons (I mean TONS) of various emblems symbols, etc. in existence. From business to sports to music to movies - the list is a looong one.
One thing I love about logos - is their ability to convey a strong message and feeling about whatever body it is they represent. And they do so in the simplest of ways. Really, most successful designs are very basic - yet 'deliver' with pin-point accuracy.
Here in this area of the site - I'd like to take a look at some of the many famous symbols out there - and of course... create simple cartoon drawing lessons around them! A couple already completed below - are two of my favorites... the Firefox emblem - and the Ghostbusters emblem. You'll notice with each - I've put my own creative 'spin' on things. I encourage you to - too!
