NewMediaArts art 127 :: graphic symbolism :: week 13 :: b :: homework assignment  3 logo designs (printed versions only)  assignment: Prepare 3 distinct designs – each on its own 8.5x11 sheet of paper for an informal wall critique. To narrow your designs down to 3, step back and take a hard look at your current 6 designs. Which are working? Which are not? Which are visually strong? Which are conceptually strong? Choose only the strong ones – one that a client may actually pick as their final logo. Be sure to number and title each design with a thematic name.  format: be prepared to hand in 3 distinct logo designs, printed from illustrator, to be hung on our classroom walls in class next Tuesday.  3 designs, each on 1 sheet of paper: 8.5” x 11” – CMYK.  Remember to give each design a # (1-3) and a thematic title, such as “logo#1: Red fire”. due: 11.22.05
