LOGOS

Q.I.T Madagascar Minerals
Date: February 21, 2015
Course/Instructor:
Comm. 130 Section 3
Cory Kerr
Program(s)/Tools: Adobe Illustrator
Objectives: Create three completely different, original logos
to fit a company or personal image that will appeal to the audience using only Adobe Illustrator.
Process: I went on to google images and found an image that
pertained to minerals. I chose a diamond. I then went on to my
Adobe Illustrator and made shapes of the diamond using triangles to recreate it in my own way. For the other logos I just used
typography, but I made sure that words were visible and that
there were usually two different complimentary fonts.
