Reflection



Swim Logo
Swim Logo on Backpack
  • How does your Logo design represent the after school club or activity? (Font choice, symbol, colors, layout, etc)
  • Which process was most helpful in creating your design? (research thumbnail sketches, concept board, 2 rough drafts, digital draft on Gimp, etc.)
  • What was the most challenging aspect about the logo project?
  • Are you satisfied with your final design? Why is your logo successful?  If you not satisfied with your design, what would you like to change? 
- My Logo design represents Swim Club because it is an image of a swimmer diving into the water like when the Swim Team members dive into the pool when competing in races. I chose the colors red because our school colors are red and black. Also, the Swim Team members have red (and black striped) team suits we wear for competitions. I chose this type of font because usually sports teams have fonts that are block like and serious. I chose this font to follow it and to show dedication.
- I think the concept board was the most helpful to me because I got to put any photos that reminded me of the club. It's looking at my concept board that I found inspiration from one of the photos in it. 
- The most challenging aspect of the logo project was producing the logo closest to the one I envisioned in my head when using the gimp tools which I still have not yet mastered. 
- Overall, I am generally satisfied with my final design and I think the logo was successful because I think it embodies the movement and overall feeling of excitement from competitions. If I were to change something I would change where I put the logo. I want it to be on a duffel sports bag since we do need to travel to our swim meets and the duffel bag will be helpful and showing team spirit to meets.

  1. I think you did a very great job on the splash of water when the person jumps into the pool. It is very easy to tell that this is a swimming team. Overall, I really like your logo.

  2. I like how you separated the "swim team" into two different waves, and the very patriotic colors you chose, red, white and blue.

  4. The use of having a swimmer diving really gives a good sense of action which a main aspect in sports. I also feel that the logo has a good flow going from left to right.

  7. I love the colors and how it's not one big image in the center, instead it travels across the page like the waves in a pool. I like the simplicity of the personwith no details.
