Logo Critique

1. FedEx- This logo signifies express shipping which is exemplified in the logo itself. The blank space between the E and the X draws a white arrow symbolizing direct and quickness. This large logo is placed on the sides of large semi-trucks, largely showing the arrow moving forward and defines the name of the company, Federal Express. This targets an audience who wants quick and overnight shipping. I feel this sneaky insight to the logo is an unconscious success to this company.

2. Disney- No matter the color the Disney logo is used, numerous cartoons, movies, television shows, and characters are thought of. Instead of a designer statement, this logo signifies success in happiness and fun. This logo is found on merchandise from clothing to children's toys, to television series and theme parks.

3. Mercedes-Benz- The history of the Mercedes-Benz logo is more than just a flashy star, but when a person pulls up with a MB star on the front of their vehicle, high-class and fast car instantly comes to mind. While originally the Mercedes-Benz logo was targeted at an older wealthier audience, which it has done a very well job at doing, the company has been wanted by a younger audience with more affordable sleeker looking vehicles. The logo instantly says success and class.

4. Target- This signature red logo easily resembles a target for shooting, and instantly calls the shopping store, Target, to mind. This logo has a simple image that is instantly known as Target, and sends the message of quick and precise shopping.

5. Tory Burch- This logo represents Tory Burch, a famous high-end designer of items including purses, shoes, jewelery, clothing, and more. This logo targets their biggest audience being wealthy business women. The recognizable gold logo stands for wealth, class and success. I feel that this logo is worn and wanted by many young women, wealthy house-mothers, and business women. The signature gold T's on their famous ballerina flats is envied by many.

5 Logo Idea's

All of my logo idea's come from ideas that my mother and i have thought of over the years. Being a local over at St. Pete Beach, my mother has had a dream to open a local store that we would want to be open nearby and would please vacationers as well as locals...

1. "The Turtles Nest"- A beach-themed boutique that my mom has dreamed of opening. This store would be located on St.Pete Beach, Pass-A-Grille and would provide an arrangement of beach needs from bathing-suits to high-end beach chairs.

2. "Dairy Beach" - A small locally owned ice cream parlor brings ice cream and beach scene together. The logo would mesh the two into one adorable store!

3. "A shell's Salon" - Again, a local beach ownership, this salon would bring local's and vacationers together for mani's and pedi's on the beach!

4. "The Umbrella Bean" - A local coffee shop with all beach theme. This shop would serve coffee and tea's iced and hot, for all beach goers and early starters.

5. "The Daiquiri Hut" - A favorite for vacationers, this small bar would provide all types of alcoholic beverages and have live music at night bringing in all types of characters.

HTML Project

For my creative project in HTML, I originally had a hard time deciding if I wanted to make a realistic picture or more creative in shapes. I decided to just begin entered codes I was familiar with from class, and learned how to add more into the picture. I enjoyed graphing out where i wanted my objects to be placed, along with different shades of colors I could fill in. I feel my final picture shows a great example of what i have learned in this class and I am proud that I made this starting with a simple shell code!
